^perhaps you all can move this discussion over to the municipal politics thread. This thread is about the Jameson... nothing to do with photo radar or patios.

^113st north of 103ave. two existing 70s walk ups are currently being torn down right now.

Man, who ever they hired to write the About the Project is an A-one, world class bullshxter. "rhythmic, contemporary design language that responds sensitively to its urban context". Maybe they used this: https://www.artybollocks.com/

^yep, the best place to go for all your daily flag needs. Actually they also do custom work. I remember seeing Edmonton Opera's production of HMS Pinafore several years back and they had a Union Jack that had to be 40' x 25' (ish) made by the Flag Store. Very impressive

^^speeding is not a Right.

I dream of a day when tiny transmitters are imbedded in the road, (alternatively a GPS signal) which communicate with every vehicle's EMC (computer) telling what the speed is(and this could change dynamically depending on weather, road conditions and traffic volume) and the vehicle has to abide...

rather than concentrating on getting more of what we already have (grocery stores), I'd prefer that we try to get what we DON"T have; hardware store, shoes, clothing, furniture (Rona, Simon's, Ikea). Maybe some of those could also fill in bits of the Quarters, or repurpose some of the under...

^your welcome.

Well, you learn something new everyday. I stand corrected. I thought for sure that the city had purchased most of the land on 96st between 102 and 105ave in order to demolish all those old hotels (NO KNIVES!) and rooming houses.

that lot used to be a KFC. They had a large neon sign that, due to lack of maintenance read, Kentucky Fried Chicken

I feel that the Quarters is a failed experiment in social engineering by the City. Enough time has passed to render that verdict in my opinion. City should offer up the lands for sale and let the market do its thing. Maybe offer up cascading discounts. Purchase one lot at $X (market value). Buy...
