The circular building in a little bit lower and to the left is Vancouver Public Library. It was cast as the headquarters of the evil corporation in “Sixth Day”, a flick with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
So you can also file the map under Movie Locations : )
Correction: Up is North, not North West. Downtown Vancouver is on a grid that is 45 degrees rotated from the N-S, E-W grid of the rest of the city, due to the shape of the peninsula.
Really? That’s odd as the maps of other cities *appear* to be orientated so that north is up and south is down.
Saxifrage, I think Shreddies meant that *up on the stamp* is north-west
The Vancouver Post Office now has a new stamp on its roof – Vancouver, BC gets the 2010 Winter Olympics and the stamp is about the 2010 Olympics. Sorry No picture available as yet (by me I mean).
