With re-gentrification comes the inevitable co-modification of history and heritage; facade grants, adhok preservation and an edited retelling of our foundations.
Vancouver saw a government controlled gentrification to Gastown, it's oldest neighborhood, in late 2009/10 for the 2010 Olympics with the re-erecting of the Woodwards building siting the area as the "arts center of the city" with Olympic information attendants and Kiosks directed to suggest against traveling to it.

The intention of REDIVIVUS, an on going installation from July 2010 - Sept 2011 at Planet Claire (51 Powell) in Gastown landmarks the stores inevitable move from Abbott Street and re-opening as a result of such gentrification with the opening of a Government funded Low Barrier income hosing above the Powell Street store's original location on Abbott.

-"They say this country is, was based on hard work, integrity and worshiping god," (chuckles) "its based on murder man, mayhem, lies, slavery, oppression, steelin and killin; thats what it's based on." "and you can't change it once it's started, just stay away from it, try to get away from it. be independent of it, because if you deal in it you become part of it. Stay away from it and you've diminished it by one."
