I would absolutely take a direct bus from downtown to YEG if it ran with any degree of frequency. It would cut two transfers for me over the 747 and be a considerable time saving. Even when I lived downtown adjacent, it would've reduced hassle. Back when we had SkyShuttle, I used to take that...

Yet our cafe scene underwent rapid diversification once Starbucks and Second Cup thinned their locations after over a decade of very little movement that wasn't Second Cup or Starbucks. Also, food court locations in office towers have significant disadvantages over anything street facing to many...

Bunch of my favourites on that list. CQ Noodles is great if you like spice. Rocky Mountain Ice House is one of the few places that keeps its patio open outside of summer. A&G Burgers is basically an off-brand Burger Baron and run by a rather wonderful family. I got hooked on Filistix when they...

Chinatown Re:Vita has been rather a bright spot in the neighbourhood, and has organized some pretty nice little events that have brought decent turnouts. I'm a big fan of their Chinatown After Dark events.

Eh. Their absence creates a zone of opportunity for smaller players.

Okay. Here we go. We have zoning inbound along the LRT line.

It's the poster child for why I stopped bothering with pedways in this city.

Update: I talked to one of the folks who owns/runs On the Edge, and it turns out that they'd negotiated the space as a "pop up" in the first place.

Spotted on my way to the LRT this morning.

As much as I didn't think hockey really needed to come downtown in the first place (and I'm seeing that after the fact that there were a few advantages to that) and had concerns as to what would happen to Northlands if it was done (that particular bridge is burned), I'm looking forward to this...

So, the last month has been a bit of a blur what with moving and such, but apparently while I wasn't looking, Encore started work on a new block of row houses on Alpha Boulevard at Cedric Mah Rd. Also,, Encore and Landmark seem to have projects lined up further to the NE towards the drainage...

Notice the row of fake culinary/restaurant awards too.

Hmm.

In fairness, boxed wine does indeed have a tap (or at least a spigot).

“I would like 20 lbs of graphic design please. Oh. Make it 10 then?”

The Tap Room’s permanent sign went up, and I am wondering if this is perhaps just a reboot of Slop Shot. The quality of signage is eerily similar.

Something with a toilet flush sound effect for a name is coming to 104 Street.

By "here", I mean "The Quarters". Five Oaks holds quite a bit of vacant property here (The Quarters), including the re-vacated GWG building which has been supposedly being redeveloped for decades.

Well, it's something, and if it works, it could be a good start to things, but I'm taking anything involving Dub with a huge grain of salt nowadays. He's made a lot of noise over the years about doing things here, but not much has come of it.

So, I've officially moved in. It's an interesting experience because of all of the memories I have of the place as an airport. Given that my first word that I spoke was apparently "airplane", my dad used to bring me to the parking lot by the terminal or the observation area at the end of Runway...
