I would have to say that the most unusual landmark I've seen in Vancouver is the Igloo restaraunt on Evergreen Blvd, just east of Grand. This is a little diner style restaraunt that has been completely plated in chrome?!?
Who knows where that brain storm came from.. even the inside is plated in chrome. When I was a kid "chrome plated" meant something was pretty sweet. The funny thing is that as an adult "chrome plated" still means something is pretty sweet.
This little diner is in a horrible location for getting business traffic so I feel kinda sorry for them in the business sense but the place is definitely worth taking a drive to and getting a meal. They have a more diverse menu then you'd expect for a place that only seats abotu 10-15 people and it's just a fun place to create a memory.
It may not be the most famous landmark around but it has been there a long time and nothing says unusual like a chrome plated 15 seat diner on a road with almost no street traffic. You should go check it out before it goes away because you won't see another quite like it once it is gone.
