Editorial Review for Granville Island – by Anna Roth
In Short
An industrial park-turned-arts district, this busy faux-island in the middle of town leads a dual life. By day, it's a vibrant shopping community, filled with locals and students from the on-site art school shopping in the comprehensive Public Market and browsing the numerous boutiques and galleries. Come nightfall, the island becomes an adult playground, with raucous crowds spilling out from its two breweries and patronizing its five performing arts theaters.
