It looks like it stood outside of Sun Life Place, right across from the Citadel. Must've been carted off into storage when they did its renos awhile back. From Streetview:

If anyone needs a good laugh at Nickel's expense:

Interestingly, although it is a century old, the ferry likely didn't belong to John Walter. The Let's Find Out podcast has a really, really interesting piece on it. In short, it almost certainly came from the Stony Plain area and was brought to Edmonton in 1960s to give the fledgling John Walter...

Starting to get big city vibes:

The completed sign via @konanzandco:

A new 'old' Pendennis Hotel sign is currently being painted on east wall. If you click the link there's some video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsU5P9l-U2/

Here's a neat one. Planned in 1965 as an expansion to the existing Queen Elizabeth II Planetarium in Coronation Park, it was supposed to be Edmonton's first Space Science Centre:

I literally laughed out loud when I got to that part of her thread. It basically boils down to "well, some people aren't going to use it for work, so why bother at all?" The fact that it's predicated on the belief that people only use transit for their downtown jobs is also hilariously bad.

Have no idea what this is, the status of it, if it was anything more than an old proposal, whatever, but came across it and thought it interesting enough to share: https://www.callisonrtkl.com/projects/multi-use-health-services-building-alberta-health-services-the-university-of-alberta-hospital/

Since I'm back on campus I figured I'd grab some more shots:

This was the plan floating around awhile back. Who know's if that's what they're still going to do though. There's some more reading here.

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else, but the old DeVine's house at 9712 111th Street is getting a restoration/renovation. A concrete pump was out there earlier. It looks like Amnor Group is doing it. https://www.edmontontribunals.ca/sites/default/files/box-files/Jan_8_2021_Index.pdf...

Spotted them at Coliseum and Belvedere too.

Same as this one?

^ I saw that. Here's one render: https://sites.google.com/situateinc.ca/westmount128st/home For those interested, it's slated to replace the original Glenora School, a building that represents penny-pinching at its finest. Instead of a new build, the Edmonton Public School Board took Westmount...

This one's already been demo'd. Went by on Friday and all that was left was a big heap of rubble.

^I can tell you it's looking good. I didn't have a chance to grab pictures, but when I went by yesterday a lot more glazing had been put up. As you can see in your picture, the west side's been half covered, and a decent amount has been put up along the south side. Two new sunken doorways, on...

Here's an update of some random projects from around Northwest Edmonton. Excuse the sloppy pictures. Firstly is Bellwether Park in Wellington / Athlone. To a layman like me, it's honestly embarrassing how long it's taken to build only a handful of new townhomes. For twenty-some years I lived...
