and it still retains traces of its history. However,
today Kits is one of Vancouver's most desirable
neighbourhoods. It is especially popular with
up-and-comers and hippies who made good.

unique and innovative. Many of these locally-owned
businesses are destination shops, and some of the finest
foods in the city are available right here.
