As dawn breaks and most of the city still sleeps, the long-time merchants of Vancouver's Chinatown are hard at work. They haul out their produce stands and set up their makeshift vendor carts in preparation for what they hope will be a busy day. But, like many ethnic enclaves in urban centers across North America, their clientele is dwindling. This once vibrant and thriving neighborhood is in flux as new condo developments and non-Chinese businesses move in and gradually overtake the declining hub of the Chinese community.
