Apparently Chvrch of John is closing at the end of the month.

I hope it's back in it's old spot, because that's a bit of a black hole at the moment...

I don't think many of the genuinely cool and hip and happening people of Edmonton have the money to eat at Olia.

Kind of a silly name (was it chosen by Owen Wilson's character in Midnight in Paris?), but could be an interesting concept.

I'm obviously sympathetic to this sort of concern, and for some reason Garneau and Strathcona are getting hit particularly hard with ugly infill. (Maybe developers assume students are less discerning? I don't think things are nearly so dire on the north side.) But I'm not sure there's any actual...

Right, although I would include all of that in the broad category of "things that influence property owners' decisions about designation." Probably as important as the additional costs for some people, this also reduces their freedom to do what they want with their property. From what I've heard...

My understanding is that the greatest barrier to expanding heritage protections is the property owners' choices. The city can decree that a certain property is a Municipal Historic Resource against the owner's will, but what I've heard is that they then have to compensate the owner for any...

Did you catch a look at the sign at all?

I mean, that seems plausible, but even if it is over budget that doesn't mean that anyone did anything wrong.

Well, there are two issues. One is the owner. The other is that their food and chai are mediocre.

I mean... that station also has to service NAIT?

So Claroscuro Architecture is also the developer?

Sorry but like, if there's a big infrastructure project that is bound to attract a lot of people, I think it's valid to ask how those people will get there. Especially given the provincial government's demonstrated history of botching big projects of all sorts.

That's from Georges Méliès's Le Voyage dans la lune:

They are being affected. Whatever verbal commitments the administration makes, the burden and scrutiny on international MSc and PhD students and their advisors has gotten worse. I'm saying this as someone at U of A having conversations with my colleagues about these exact issues.

Yes, it's in Strathcona. I think we could probably get him to come out against this project as-is.

I would say more, uh, concepts of a plan. The Agriculture, Food, and Nutritional Sciences department was already not thrilled and I'm guessing they'll be quite unhappy with this announcement. I know some of the poultry researchers have been in talks with industry to build up a facility further...

I don't think this is true. There's a definite increase in the administrative load that comes with the clampdown, and greater uncertainty about whether a visa will be issued at all, even for highly competitive graduate programs.

Many such cases. This sort of look was played out by 2012.

Wait, this is the Beljan project? I would've expected better from them. I hope the EDC can prod them to get their architects back to the drawing board.
