giant inflatable slide?

I find it a bit odd and surprising that Winnipeg has this momentum dt without a proper mass transportation system. They may be ahead of us (although our numbers are climbing too) but I would caution that their momentum is probably limited by their lack of investment in mass transit. It's less...

You’ll know more in about ten days

Ah I see what you mean. Yeah I would have picked a different colour for sure, but maybe not the finished product yet.

I kinda like the 60s brutalist vibe I'm getting, which I know may sound weird. It's unique from other infill, which appeals to me I guess. Is the exterior stucco? It doesn't look like it to me but may not be the finished product. I reserve the right to reverse my position depending on how it...

Please don't shoot me, but I actually like this (depending on the finishes)

I think same folks that own the Ice House

No it doesn’t make sense to be anywhere but attached to the UofA if it wants to retain its position as a top research hospital. This will be somewhere at the u of a main campus; most likely the blood services building

Went for my first visit over lunch yesterday…I’m very impressed. It does seem bigger in person and I could see this becoming a real meeting place for all kinds of folks, any given time of day. There aren’t too many places downtown that feel this relaxed and peaceful, in my opinion. I’m an...

Nice to see these not staying empty for long!

I believe it is Leston. A similar thing was tried in a building we have a unit in. These guys must have very deep pockets

I work right by there and saw that Reno taking place. What a waste of a good building. They didn’t honour its history or come close to realizing the potential of that location. Looks like they just used the cheapest materials thinking they could flip it quickly due to the location. What a shame
