Trying to figure out where this was taken? I thought initially Groat Road/Sask Drive, but then thought maybe 114th area. I even went on Realtor.ca to try verify my guesses but no luck haha

Fancy toilet hehe

TBD if these increases move the needle on additional retail coming in.

This was a pleasant surprise this morning when driving to work on Scona road!

Thanks, I will definitely check it out!

Ideally we need more connectors to make it easy to get to the places east of Gateway and south of Whyte Avenue

As someone who lives off Whyte, 124th street seems way more vibrant compared to Whyte. Maybe because I don't go down 124th as much but I can't recall seeing that many vacant storefronts). It might also be that 124th is not as wide as Whyte which I feel gives it a more urban and vibrant look...

Would be nicer if the sign stayed as CWB/Canadian Western Bank 🙃

Could it be that rents are higher in Winnipeg and Regina due to a lack of supply? As someone that grew up near Regina, the majority of housing built was single family. If no rentals are being built, higher prices will just happen. I remember 20 yrs ago when I started Uni in Saskatoon, and the...

I walked past this the other day, and there is siding (?) now on the side (that is visible from Whyte) and I don't know if I am being dramatic or my eyes are playing a trick, but it was just too sad and depressing to take a picture and post to this forum haha.
