Since my 1st _wonderings_ in #Vancouver #ChinaTown the hold out of gentrification has been this shop front — Tosi's sun bleached windows has been unchanged for more than 20 years. For the brave one can(/could?) ring the bell and wait for the aged proprietor to venture slowly down and open up the door to museum dry like interior, in which one can(/could?) order salami, olive oil or Parmesan cheese, from an imagined menu derived from that sun drenched immovable exterior ... now papered over.
The paper was hiding a Film Shoot's set decoration. I'll keep you posted, as to if the store survives.
