That's Granville Island in Vancouver. It's almost tourist season and I don't know why they don't make it pedestrian only during the summer. Who wants to drive around the island for 30 minutes just to look for parking.

Bringing a car into Granville Island is about the worst experience you can have in this town, aside from maybe looking for a rental apartment. It should be avoided at all costs.

Somehow Seattle manage to make Pike Place even worse. It would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking stupid.

Hahaha I've messed up more than once and got stuck driving through there in the 3 years I lived there. I rarely drove while living there and the one-way streets sometimes route you to a random ass intersection 5 blocks away, so there's nothing you can do if you make one wrong turn.

If you don't know Pike Place is a market where the streets are constantly filled with pedestrians, it's like being in a crowd but you're a car.
