EAST VAN is an area of vancougrr, bc that is notorious worldwide for drugs, workin girls, the homeless and police brutality. it's also home to some of the best outreach programs, artists, bands and community minded people you'd ever have the pleasure of knowin. placed between the complacent burbs of burnaby and the materialistic, fake tit vibe of downtown, east van offers a homegrown, co op feel that is uncommon in most big cities. a place where the girl next to you won't take your shit and men have purses, not murses. keep it in your pants or git outta here.
Whoa, did you see that chick with 30 piercings in her face wearing nothing but newspapers? That is so EAST VAN .
That woman just helped that junkie across the street, she must be an EAST VANER.
Really?! Live music 7 days a week?! God, I wish I lived in EAST VAN.

the east side of Vancouver where the indo canadian gangs the vietnamese gangs (nammers),and the latin american gangs (spics) are at. A lot of asian people, lack of white people but we like to keep it that way. laid back, chiller, great place to visit.

Urban First Nations residents in East Vancouver, B.C. Phrase was born in the streets, alleys and native housing projects in East Van. Used by urban Indigenous people referring to the group of people from different First Nations who inhabit the area bordered by Renfrew , Cambie , Kingsway and Cordova streets. Commercial Drive is the East Van Nation stronghold . Many East Van Nation people, especially those generations born in the city, adopt cultural methods from different First Nations. Fist pound is universal greeting , from kids to elders. They have as much tribal pride in being from East Van Nation as they do being from their home First Nations. They grow up together, hang together, got each others backs, drink and party together, mary and have children together, and often stay put in East Van and grow old together. East Van Nation is East Van strong.
Bro one to bro two: "I just moved here from Heiltsuk man, where you from?" Bro two: "East Van Nation." Hipster commenting on bro's tshirt: "Eat Van Nation, where's that?" Bro: "You're standing in it." Bro raising drink to bros and sisters in a park "East Van Nation! - (group in chorus) "East Van Nation...gulp."
