Canada's Poorest Postal Code

The young man is this video seems like a one-man-inner-city-re-vitalization project.  He has startede numerous small business ventures and "Save On Meats was his recent acquisition as discussed in the video.   The store was a landmark for years in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.  It was a horrible place in many ways: dirty, messy, disorganized and smelly.  Just the kind of business that needs an ambitious new owner to transfuse it with new ideas and get it back to financial health.  My prediction is Save On Meats will be a winner for this young entrepreneur.  Good Luck to him.

http://bcove.me/7b91zfl8 Gastown Gamble is a docu-reality series following a group of idealistic Vancouver restaurant owners, lead by Mark Brand and his wife Nico, on their quest to make an impact on the neighbourhood known as “Canada’s poorest postal code”: Vancouver’s downtown east side. By re-opening the neighbourhood icon, a butcher shop known as "Save On Meats", they hope to provide opportunities to the unemployed and disadvantaged members of the community and inspiration to others. It would be a huge undertaking for someone who has experience revitalizing a downtrodden community, but for Mark, Nico and the gang it may be more than they can handle.
