Just did a quick search on Google about Night Market…
Here is an insert from the Vancouver Sun:
“RICHMOND - The popular summer night market in Richmond is one step closer to reopening under a new operator after months of uncertainty over its fate,
Richmond city council agreed Monday evening to send an application for a two-year land-use permit to a public hearing after grilling the new operator, Paul Cheung, about how he would tackle the problems of counterfeit goods and traffic congestion at the market.
Cheung, a Vancouver entrepreneur with years of experience planning events for the Plaza of Nations, said he’s confident he can get a better and safer market up and running by May 30, if his plan succeeds at the public hearing scheduled for May 20.”

During spring to fall seasons in Vancouver, metro Vancouverites and tourists often flock to the nightmarkets for food and entertainment. Held annually, nightmarket is a shopping experience that mimics that of the traditional Asian shopping culture experience. In other words, night market is set out in an open district where store booths are set up to sell handicrafts, DVDs, gifts, household items, food and etc.
At prime times, more than 30,000 show up on opening nights for this event. With over 400 booths set up, booth renters often find customers interested in their products. Many products at nightmarket are often sold below retail store prices. However, there have been controversial issues with the legitimacy of some items being sold.
According to this source, “Richmond Night Market” for 2008 will be canceled. The author wrote that “the landlord who has been leasing out the property, where it has been held every year since 2000, has decided not to renew the lease.” Raymond Cheung, founder of Richmond Night Market, was quoted as saying that the Richmond Night Market hopes to find an alternative location for 2009.
According to Wikipedia, another promotion group, Lions Communications, not affiliated with promoters of Richmond Night Market will be holding “Summer Night Market” in Richmond in 2008. Lions Communications has submitted documents to obtain the permit required to hold the event. Unfortunately, no further information can be found regarding Summer Night Market.
According to the Chinatown Nightmarket website, Chinatown in nightmarket will continue this year on the specified dates:
May 16 - Sept 7, every Fri. Sat. & Sun. 6:30 p.m. - 11 p.m

If you haven’t notice yet, but there is a new Save-On-Food location in Vancouver. Come to think of it, there is not one Save-On-Food store in Vancouver. The only one that I always go to is at the Metro-town location.
Luckily I work around the new Save-On-Food store, and it is located at 8th and Cambie Street, a block away from the Cambie Bridge. Too bad there are lots of constructions going on around this area. Traffic is very bad during busy hours and especially on Broadway. Sometimes it is faster to walk then to drive during the afternoon rush hours.
Parking around the location are mostly meters. There is a underground parking at Save-On-Food, but you have to pay park. The new store is really big inside; the size is comparable to the Best Buy store across the street. I have uploaded some of the pictures taken inside the store. I recommend you all to try their deli sandwich section. They have lots of lunch specials and table and chairs for you to sit and have your lunch inside the store.
I will also be looking forward to the new Home Depot and Winners store opening soon on the upper floor above the Save-On-Food store.
