Once Upon A Time geeking, pt II: Gastown, Vancouver, BC

With bonus Highlander.

Anyone who’s watched OUAT, Highlander, X-Files, Continuum, or a dozen other made-in-Canada TV shows will recognize Gastown. It is the semi-gentrified “hip” neighborhood along the waterfront in downtown Vancouver.

Most of the OUAT “Manhattan” scenes were filmed in the Alexander/Powell/Carrall street triangle.
