I went for a walk downtown tonight between 8 PM and 10 PM. I started on 109th St. and made my way to 99th St. and walked up and down between 103rd Ave. and Jasper Avenue. I am pleased to report that the graffiti on the old Birks building on 104 Street Has been cleaned up. It was of course very...

I saw Billy Idol and Platinum Blonde at the Kinsman Fieldhouse in 1984. Boy those 40 years go by fast 😆😆

I’m not sure. I also had issues at seeing the photos that were posted today but they all seem to be fixed now. Perhaps it was a problem with the site.

One more thing. I think that little wedge between 136 Street and 139 St. between 102 Avenue and stony plain road should also be fair game to more dense development as it will be close to the future LRT station. And I don’t believe in that little pocket there are many true heritage homes.

I grew up in Glenora. I went to Glenora school and Westminster junior high. I believe the part of Glenora south of stony plain road should be protected. I have seen several homes, beautiful old homes, replaced by new monstrosities (see 132 street as an example). We don’t have a lot of heritage...

As an eternal optimist about our beautiful city I choose to believe the more positive report. 😀

It is so frustrating and sad and annoying and enraging that such a small group of people can have such a negative effect on the atmosphere of the city. I was at the Cabin on 116 Street on Friday night and some homeless person obviously high on drugs proceeded to empty the garbage can across...

I saw these two new rezoning applications today.

When I was a kid it was JB big boys.

Great news for housing starts in Edmonton December 2023 from CMHC.

It’s a good thing that Edmonton has had 2 quarters of net absorption downtown and in the suburbs. From CBRE.

Well on a positive note for our downtown CBRE reports 158160 ft2 absorbed downtown in 2023 Q4.

Saw this trailer on the empty lot on 103 A Ave. and 116th St. Is this for a development or is this for the LRT on 104 Avenue?

Yes. Growing up on Stony Plain Road you do get used to the drone of the traffic but when the J2 started that would sure rattle the house. And when the Rebels had a clubhouse on Stony Plain Road and 125 Street they sure would make a lot of noise. I think the new Stony Plain Road in Glenora is a...
