Angel Vancouver is located at No. 2 Powell Street in the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada. Our store is on the corner of Powell & Carrall Street in Maple Tree Square, which is where Vancouver began.  The photo above shows what my store looked like in 1886.

Desigual’s slogan is La Vida es Chula (Life is Cool)!

Today’s music is Canada’s k.d. lang singing Leonard Cohen’s song Hallelujah at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver:She first played Vancouver at the nightclub above my store, which was then called The Savoy but now is called the Diamond. Here is what she was like then:I also saw her perform this song on a paddlewheeler in Vancouver’s harbour; she signed her first major recording contract that night in the ship’s wheelhouse:And finally, here’s one of my k.d. lang favourites, performing Neil Young’s song, Helpless:Neil Young reportedly teared up watching Lang perform his song while watching the Juno awards (Canadian music awards) on TV. At the time, he was recovering from surgery after suffering a brain aneurysm.
