East Hastings is the poorest neighbourhood in Canada. The streets are overrun with drug addicts (who have no problem with shooting up in the street) and prostitutes. This neighbourhood is not for the faint of heart. It isn't overall that dangerous, there is a hell of a lot worse places then East Hastings. But when there you should keep on your toes and watch your back. The media really exagerates how bad it is there. It is also the oldest neighbourhood in Vancouver, if junkies, pandhandlers, and prostitutes don't frighten or anger you then East Hastings is the place to be.
Mike: Want to go to East Hastings?
Bill: No way, I don't feel like getting shot.
Mike: Don't be closeminded, only way you will get shot there is if you fuck with the wrong people.

An area in Lower Manhattan, boxed in between East Houston and 14th Street and Avenue A and Broadway, where a proliferation of bars exist, at least 10 movie theaters, major bookstores, like St. Mark's Bookshop and The Strand Bookstore, performance venues like St. Mark's Church; where in the past it was affordable for impoverished artists to live and engage socially. The remarkable history of the East Village, includes residents like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Miguel Pinero, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, Charlie Parker, Emma Goldman, Lenny Bruce, Willem DeKooning, Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Debbie Harry, original punker Richard Hell, authors like Arthur Nersesian and Richard Perez.
For many years, it no longer remains affordable for the starving artist; unless that artist is the son or daughter of a banker or real estate magnate. "Trust Fund Babies" are often seen populating the neighborhood, pretending to be poor and fashionably down and out.
Regardless of its pretensions, the East Village remains a stronghold for youth culture, regenerating itself generation after generation; this in spite of the fact that many of its landmarks -- like CBGB, the birthplace of punk rock -- are history. St. Mark's Place and Avenue A and the surrounding blocks retain a distinct character and personality, inviting wanabees and whatnots, twenty-nothings and thirty-zeroes to slum, which has always been true anyway: fakery has always been part of bohemia. But that's okay. Youth and folly go together like ham and eggs.
