Water Strect and the surroun- ding area of Vancouver has to be one of the most delightful parts of the city to visit during this holiday season. With its wonderful “Old Style” setting of cobbles and gas lanips, it conjures up visions of Christmases long ago. Especially with the added at- traction of the decorated windows.

For those who have not ven- tured to this unique and char- ming part of town for some time, you will be amazed and delighted at some of the changes taking place. No longer is it just a tourist attraction. More or less gone are the myriad tourist type stores, to be replaced with high quality stores offering merchandise from high fashion Italian clothing to ex- otic soaps and fragrances to one of the largest selections of Native Canadian art and ar- tifacts anywhere in Vancouver. At the top end of Water Street, the refurbishing of one of the older buildings is taking place, The Landing, will be transformed into a new shopp- ing area, scheduled to open in early 1987, that will provide the finest merchandise. Aliso new to che area is the recently oncned Sinclair Centre. Another transformation of a heritage building, the Sinclair Centre, along with The Station, offers shoppers a unique en- vironment in which to shop. The buildings’ character adds to shopping pleasure and provides an interesting place to explore.
