really loud (and high enough, too, so that it might be near-sunny when Kits was in the soup). But paradise has a price, y'see, and central Vancouver's neighbourhood quietude is paid for dearly by everyone else; Vancouver's street-calming policies and"no freeways in town" policies (not that I don't and didn't support them) mean incredible taffic pressures everywhnere else. Particularly on the east side but also of coruse in the sprawl eastwards from there, with the commuter hell trint to feed into the downtown peninsula by only so many routes; and Granville is onlyl just grudginly one of them; the west side has been kept immune from it entirely, partly by low-density zoning relative to the reset of the city; Kits (which I remember as mostly downmarket at one time) just happens to be in Point Grey's and Kerrisdale's

Greer's Beach and the old Kitsilano streetcar loop, and the 4th Avenue extension and what-not, should all be here, and it's all quite interesting; also something about the ultra-wealthy strip along Point Grey Road from Kits Beach to Jericho (I happen to know the family connected with the name Locarno, the Delmonicos, but that's another story). I also can't quite recall the other community halls than the Russian Community Centre; there's that one at about 7th and Balsam or Vine, and the one at Vine and 5th (formerly a bank, or church, for a while a native centre, maybe townhouses now), and others; there's other historical businesses worth noting; btw the name of the store on Broadway called Kiss-A-Rhino is an old kid's nickname for Kitsilano.
1083:
the "Kitsilano line" (the Kitsilano streetcar, which ran along Cornwall). You don't hear it much at all anymore, other than in older residents, although it's emulated in a store name - "Kiss-a-rhino" - a kid's clothing store on West Broadway - "Kiss-a-rhino" was a children's form of the -aino pronunciation, and I think there was an old rhyme using it too. One comment about the vowel in the remaining version - it shouldn't be "twanged" as I hear many new Vancouverites doing, not diphhthong-y at all, not sure how to demonstrate what I mean in IPA.....but for sure the -aino pronunciation is leigitimate, if archaic; maybe it's in Chuck Davis'
1141:
Kits-aw-lahwno is the Westarian newcomer affectation, and it grates on native ears. English spelling is not phonetic, and therefore no guide, and certainly not when it is a borrowed First Nations word. Having said that, younger native Vancouverites do seem to say Kits-ah-lahwno as well. I do find the term "archaic" to be pejorative, given the continuing currency of the proper form. Also, as an authoritative source: the deceased Vancouver Sun columnist Denny Boyd wrote that native Vancouverites pronounce both Kitsilano and Capilano with an 'ai'. I will see if I can dig up a proper reference. (

rev them for 5 minutes when they're sitting still in the parking lot?" The beauty of Kits is that it's so well traffic-calmed, live off Cornwall, W 4th, Broadway, Arbutus, Alma, it's fine. 9:20 PM, stereo on mute, W 6th & Cypress right now, just a whisper of traffic + total silence (oops, door & garbage bin just now :). Kits is different from road-based suburbs, how many overhead trolley wires are there in Burnaby? I spent six months in Surrey before moving here, again, not the same thing at all. And trendy be damned, I

atmosphere of both streets and lanes, and so on, is part of what Kitsilano is; certainly it's more than the commercial strip(s). BTW Vanier Park is not on Kits Beach, but aside from that, in closing, there used to be a graffito where the No. 4 came out of its loop off the Granville Bridge and crossed the tracks at fir, by the collision place; in big scrawled black paint-can letters "Entering Kitsilano". It had been there since the '60s and was still there in the '80s, not sure about early '90s.
457: 377: 622:
hippiedon vs. gentrification is in there too; the Greek places etc. Ditto Broadway; the Drive has a different range of offerings, likewise North Van vs Main Street vs Kerrisdale; it's what establishes identity in part; and as I just added, Kits has a certain style of restaurant, and has pioneered certain things locally (California-style Mex at the Topanga and Las Margaritas, e.g.) vs other area's own originalities (Gastown's long history of restaurant experiments).

south Kingsway, the Kiong George, or Lougheed-Coquitlam Centre, and all the tangle or fo roads and arduous bus routes in between. It's very nice that Kits and its other west side areas have traffic calming, good for them. If only everyone else could, too....and didn't have to pay for Kits' (I don't mean in dollars, I mean in consequences). Paradise has a price, preferably somebody else's.
191: 477: 568:, which would be very helpful if you want to add that description back. For comparison, I know there are buildings in Chinatown (like the Wing Sang building) from the 1880s. I would suggest that "oldest architecture" distinguishes Gastown more than any other neighbourhood since it has many buildings built in the 1910s and 1920s. 966:
of life along Hastings, the guzzling hogs sitting outside Starbucks, drowning out the canned music and the chatter of cellphones and business students....great way to have a java .....oh yeah, not quite as nice as Kits, with all the trendy people with trendier cellphones and the same hot bikes as out the Barnet and Lougheed, but
546:, while I think most of your changes are good, I don't understand why you made the change in the first paragraph to remove "tree-lined streets" and "oldest architecture". I think they are both important characteristics of the neighborhood that clearly distinguish it from other places in Vancouver. -- 1082:
a real pronunciation, although I'd have to say it's kind of old-fashioned and I'm not sure its origin; possibly some derivation of a British pronunciation - Vancouver being heavily British-from-Britain, especially the West Side, until the 1960s - or maybe, conjecturally, some kinf of play on words of
1044:
I'm right with you all the way, paradise only works for the inhabitants. Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, are all typical CanAm 'burbs. The right answer would be for them to intensify and downtown-ify with walking streets, city squares like in Europe, non-car-dependent spaces, but that is a l-o-ng way off.
1023:
It's been a long time scine there was fog like there used to be....ever heard of a Vancouver-written short story called "The Fog", come to think of it? yeah, the sound of the Pt Atkinson foghorn is digital now, not a steamhorn anymore, too...that's a fog memory; I also lived out at UBC, where it was

the trend, my 20-year-old aviator sunglasses are back in style! :) Everyone here holds open the door for the next person and strikes up conversations in shops, just like my old small town and just like they do where you are now (I was waiting to say, didn't you just move to NS?) Agree though that you

Heh, I saw a quiet Harley pull into my ex-local in Ont, Port Perry, a multi-club-nearby and colours-banned town, and I congratulated him on having a proper bike. His buddy said how he figured the loud exhaust was so the bike riders could be sure they were noticed in traffic. I said "yeah, why do they

more swank cars (intead of beat-up old '60s cars and the occasional nice car being a Volvo wagon)...and even more meatheads on the main drag on Kits Beach tan ever, wonderful......yeah, the best place in the world for sure...of course the Harleys in Halifax haven't started to come out yet, the snow's
965:
Ah yes, now that you remind me of it, the roar of Harleys, one of the sure signs of the Vancouver spring (I'm in Halifax), especially along Cornwall by the beach....nothing like it,really, is there? Refreshing. I lived by the Barnet in North Burnaby before I left last year; the din of bikes is part

speaking as someone who has dual roots in the backcountry, and just lately being more and more conscious of the subliminal din of city life (even at 3am there's a roar....in the bush the roar would be that of the river or wind; not to say that's necessarily quiet, either). But as for "the best place

Sorry again for inline comments, but also needing to add that the Vancouver Dadaists, like Mr Candyman and Mr Peanut and the other surrealists here in the 60s and 70s, not only need an article, but were also Kits folks, big-time; obscure now but important in Dadaist history; I saw some of their music
1140:
I think that we need a more sociolinguistic approach here, or at least an ethnographic one. Kits-a-laino is a proper and once dominant native Vancouverite pronunciation. I never heard it called anything else until The East moved West (starting around 1986??), and was born in 1963. I would argue that

zero, I don't actually go into those trendy shops as opposed to admiring those trendy lady shoppers, the air is fresh, the weather is mild and all I see is those beautiful mountain peaks and follow the snowcaps up and down - yeah, I'm happy with the trade.

The "hippie feel" is long-gone, and Sophie's is a mock-up of it, and not very much like the old Glady's Cafe or other onetime local fixtures, in my old-Kitilsano'er estimation; what remains of the old low-key Kits is down by 4th & Alma anyway. No self-respecting hippie would hang out in the new

All we need then is a source - do you have one? If it's definitive, then a source should be easy to hand. Otherwise, we have to go with "what most people would recognize" as definitive. I'm planning a trip to the library soon, I'll go to the Kits branch rather than Granville, just in case they have

Aww dude! What about all the VW microbuses and the guy with the carpet-covered car? You're absolutely right though, there is very little "hippie" feel to today's Kits, other than the street festival once a year, Kits Pt. park sometimes, a few downmarket places and maybe the binners. It is still a

It's not just the aforementioned structures, as well as some of the nice Edwardian stuff like the bank on the corner of Yew and such; but the particular Kits style of house, which is very different from Fairview or Grandview or Shaughnessy or even Dunbar/Point Grey or Kerrisdale; most similar to

I didn t' mean it shoudl be the primary; only that it shoudl be n included. "Archaic" perhaps, or maybe "originally" if that can be shown to be the case; it may be that it's a "deliberate affectation" of some kind, maybe originating in a local joke, who knows; it's why I suggested Chuck Davis'

OK, as elsewhere I'm wary of adding overmuch to the history section, which can be quite lengthy if let be; that's why some are inline comments which perhaps someone else can condense down to visibility if suitable; I know I should have put them here, naughty-naughty....but anyway, the story of

Actually I'd go with c), as many restaurants are notable in various ways, sometimes for what buildings they're in (though not in any Kitsilano case I can think of); the point is to give an idea of the flavour of the area; names need not be used, but a broader pallette or what 4th is about than

We should probly agree to either delete all this discussion or put a collapsible hat on it for the readability benefit of future visitors to this page eh? And BTW, when I asked about fog, I was actually asking about the east-coast experience, it figures well in my NS memories :)
1238:
I don't know how the pronunciation "kits-i-lino" is archaic, I was born in 1984 and went to General Gordon and Kitsilano Secondary schools and everyone I grew up with pronounces it that way. "kits-i-lahno" marks you as someone who moved here from somewhere else in my opinion.
1298:
The redundancy of the "Government" section alone should make anyone consider to remove it. Most if not all other places don't have it, or an infobox at all. If someone more proficient than me can make everything consistent throughout Vancouver, then that'd be awesome
1119:
booik; he'd certainly be the one to know, or maybe somebody at the library or museum. Another example of a local usage that's faded into the background is Jervis Street, now gneerally pronounced JUR-vis but historically English-style as JAR-vis (likewise the inlet).

Thanks, Andrew. If you or others feel strongly that those descriptions are important to the article, add them back in. They're technically true, so I can't argue on that basis. There were two aspects to what I deleted so I'll explain my rationale for
895:
So you're saying "Best place to live on the planet!!!" isn't gonna cut it in the article? The view to the north shore, the summers from paradise, the quiet streets at night, the general feeling of bliss? You're right of course, totally POV :) :)

Thanks, hopefully we're mostly in agreement. The main point I'm hoping will stick is that re/ "hippie-like" or "gourmet" or "urban cool" or whatever labels people like to apply to an establishment or neighbourhood... these labels are so
1053:
cross, but for some reason we must prevent that. Too many cars, not enough space, but it's nice to be in the calm zone. And it is still pretty downmarket in Kits, you can buy a refrigerator carton for less than $ 200K here, that's

1. Re/ "tree-lined streets"... technically true, though it's also true of all of Vancouver's neighbourhoods, isn't it? There may even be more remarkable tree-lined streets in Point Grey or Shaugnessey. But yup, Kits has nice
529:
I agree re. the age of buildings (don't forget Strathcona (began as a neighbourhood in the 1860s) and Mt Pleasant (homes date from the 1880s)). Also, I'd be hard pressed to find many areas of the city without street trees

And actually the armoury right in there on 10th, just west of Arbutus, too; both as architecture items and as institutional items not that the Community Centre is of architectural interest, but the school is). Maybe

Anyone live down that way? Typical old Kits and old Vancouver corner stories, though hippified some; shots of side streets in Kits and various houses or groups of houses would help illustrate this, doncha think?

I rarely hear the -æno pronunciation, and would consider that to be a deliberate affectation of people assuming the spelling indicates the correct pronunciation. -aino is definitely the definitive pronunciation.
