Can anyone tell me where Chicago Town is in Vancouver? There is a mountain bike event there and at whistler on july 25-26 sponsored by Red Bull. I need to know where Chicago Town is in Vancouver so I can book hotels. Many Thanks
Basically, everyone's stumped. In Vancouver, people go mountain biking north of the city in a suburb city called North Vancouver aka: North Van. To be specific, they go biking on the slopes of Grouse Mountain (and Cypress Mountain and Mount Seymour). My guess is that "Chicago Town" is either a mistake on Red Bull's part, or it must be some sort of secret mountain bike community nickname for a specific trail/jump/area of a park... but "Chicago Town" is definitely not a name I've ever encountered before, ever.
With the help of your link and the info I managed to track down, it seems Chicago Town is a movie location likely in North Vancouver on the water.
Still pretty vague but Red Bull's promo people must not want many spectators. Ten days to the event and they are still lining up people to do camera work and even they haven't been told where it is.
Thanks for your help.
Lions Gate Studios is at 555 Brooksbank (I actually interned there once upon a time!)... and I know immediately underneath the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge in North Vancouver is a waterfront film set which is used by a variety of production crews. Possibly that's it? Whatever and wherever it is, you're right - sounds like they really don't want anyone to be there. Their organization's atrocious!
Wasn't sure if that place even existed anymore. Had friends that used to work there on set design quite awhile ago.
