Gastown

Italy

A clock that tries to look old and belches steam every 15 minutes may not be the most stunning landmark, but it has an endearing charm in a kitschy kind of way. Originally built to take advantage of the steam vents that are all over downtown Vancouver, it never lived up to its billing and now relies

on electricity to count the minutes. It is one of a kind though and remains a photographic pilgrimage for thousands of Vancouver tourists.
