| | Vancouver's Yaletown |
 | | Yaletown got its name in the 19th century when the Canadian Pacific Railroad moved its rail yards and repair facilities from Yale, in the Fraser River canyon, to the new Yaletown on the north shore of False Creek. |
 | | In the early 20th century, Yaletown became Vancouver's warehouse district, evident today in the historic warehouses that house architectural, accounting, consulting firms and law offices as well as galleries, hair salons, restaurants and home furnishing stores. |
 | | Alternatively, continue to the corner of Nelson and Mainland, where the interesting part of Yaletown begins, and drive down the two narrow blocks of Mainland. |
