^^ stopped paying attention to his self important gibberish years ago.

^ prolly referring to the follow spot gondola

I think MacEwan almost single handedly lit a spark in this city vis-a-vis new and striking architecture.

^^ you'd think someone in the Mayor's office would proofread the statement before it is issued. I see a spelling mistake, a punctuation mistake and two grammatical mistakes.
