Citius Altius Fortius Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I just watched an interesting programme about the Plöger family from Frankfurt, which emmigrated to Vancouver - they were owners of a very popular deli in Frankfurt. They opened a new deli in Kitsilano and I have to say that district seems to be quite nice - does anybody from our Vancouvian members know that part of Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes, I lived in that neighbourhood for a while. It is a nice area and very popular with young people because it is close to the beach, has many amenities, and is a short trip to downtown or the University of BC.

Citius Altius Fortius Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 yeah - it looked quite interesting - a mixture out of single family houses and some larger buildings... I made some investigations - it seems that their deli become a success - there is even an article about them in a kitsilano blog... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawnbc Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Used the be counter-culture ("hippie") neighbourhood in the 60s. In the 70s it began its transition to something more trendy--and pricy. Today it's where a lot of UBC students rent dingy basement apartments from folks whose houses have HUGE mortgages. I doubt you could buy even a horrible little bungalow for less than CA$1 million (because of the land value). Kits Beach has a great outdoor saltwater pool; in fact the seawall heads east towards the Olympic Village, then north and west towards the West End, then north and east towards the convention centres. Wonderful to skate or bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Plögers deli was in the most popular street in Frankfurt for food - which is between the old Opera House and the Zeil - I believe they made a good choice with Kitsilano... kitsilano.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
