Editing Robson Street (section)

==Robson and Thurlow==
Robson street's intersection with [[Thurlow Street]] was known for having two [[Starbucks]] coffee shops on opposite corners, one of which was non-smoking prior to the enactment of the indoor smoking ban, and the other not. The location on the west corner is known as a major meeting place for the [[Motorcycle club|biker culture]], with motorcycles parked in a special bikes-only strip of parking painted on the pavement. It was also this corner of Robson and Thurlow that acted as the [[epicentre]] of the [[1994 Stanley Cup riot|Stanley Cup Riot]] of 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.macleans.ca/culture/books/article.jsp?content=20051222_140516_2124|title=4 Canadian sports riots - Macleans.ca - Culture - Books<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref>
