Just avoid East Hastings Street (unless you have a crack addiction or a penchant for women with no teeth)
- Possibly the worst place on Earth. Drive through it, just for the spectacle.Andrew_D
- i drive through it almost every day.prophet
- I walked through it. Was amazing - like a Thriller video.Gordy22
- Same with my bro, he says it's like a second alarm clock on his drive to work.Andrew_D
- "possibly the worst place on earth"

There is nothing wrong with East Hastings
Its a long road that goes from downtown all the way to Burnaby.
Dont let these nay sayers scare you.
- it's considered the worst neighborhood in Canada, so do avoid it.callitropsis
- ...or the Heroin addict with the needle hangin' outta their arm.Andrew_D
- Sounds like it might be worth a drive thru, just to see how bad it isDuffer
- or maybe notDuffer
- Don't avoid the street. Just avoid the alleys. You'll be fine.Melanie

are you into the outdoors? if so check out Lynn Valley, it has a wide range of very nice hikes.

chances are you will be laughing at how tame Hastings is. but to us Canadians it's as sketchy as it gets.
- Yah of course, if you can actually work through it, its not that bad.JSK

– callitropsis1/3Are you serious? I find parts of Toronto much worse.
- Which parts? Cause I call bullshit.Andrew_D
- really? it's always referred to as the worst in Canada... when was the last time you were in Van?callitropsis
- It is, don't let JSK fool you. Mind, the other 95% of the city is really nice.Andrew_D

East Hastings has a worse rep than Jane & Finch.

Toronto
East of Young in downtown at night.
Scarborough (parts of it)
Jane & Finch
RexdaleThe difference is that while downtown East Hastings is a scene of junkies, chances you getting mugged is quite low because of police on every corner.
- police on every corner!?! you clearly have been for a long timecallitropsis
- Gone for a long time?JSK
- ya yacallitropsis
- I was there 2 years ago.JSK
- Queen and Church ain't great, but it pails in comparison to EH.Andrew_D
- Lived at Jane and finch for a spell. Neighbour had stray bullet go through window.canuck
- Gordy220
For the record, Vancouver is f*cking amazing place. I just never thought I'd see an area like that there. Also, I've lived in sketchy areas of London and NYC and EH is far, far worse (or at least condenced) than any where there.
As a caveat, I had just been in the New Amsterdam Cafe when i walked down there...

Leslieville / Queen E.
I remember having to jumping over 3 junkies outside friends apartment because they refused to move from the front doors.
- When the fuck were you last in Toronto? Average house in that hood goes for $500,000+.Andrew_D
- I was in Toronto 4 years ago. That strip club still there? 90% of the woman are over 35 and have some sort of scars?JSK
- Haha...Jilly's! Yup, it's the only thing left, they're redeveloped the shit outta that area.Andrew_D
- Good times... Jilly's. Only place where you see mother daughter strippers.JSK
- Indeed, I went there before a show at the Opera House when I was 18. They let me in using my own ID, was awesome.Andrew_D
