Gas Stations in Vancouver- A Diminishing Resource
It was recently announced in the news that the remaining gas station in downtown Vancouver is up for sale.

Yes, including firewood.
Several stations have closed recently in our neighborhood in the areas west of Granville, which doesn't surprise me.

Gas in Vancouver is priced well above the rest of North America so it doesn't really matter where I fill up so I might as well support the local community station.
