Gastown is named after “Gassy Jack” Deighton, a talkative English bar owner now immortalized in statue form keeping watch over the hustle and bustle of Maple Tree Square. There is much controversy surrounding the statue as the man married the twelve year old niece of his first wife - prompting some to call for its removal.

At Abbott and Cordova you’ll find this 50x30 piece commemorating the 1971 Gastown Riots - a marijuana smoke-in against police brutality made up of hippy newcomers who wanted to transform the area into a cultural hub from its soulless retail function. 71 were arrested that day and each one of them in some small part deserves credit for what the neighborhood has come to be 💪🏼 Notice the reflection of the iconic Harbour Centre Tower 🤩
