I believe the purpose is for updates about what is happening here and related discussion. However, I do agree it seems to have lost its way in that it has become a place for a lot of bitter negativity.

Yes, two old single floor commercial industrial buildings and a parking lot being replaced replaced by two multi floor residential buildings. It will be good for this area to have more residents. It will also feel much nicer with these new buildings, as well as the much larger new tower on...

When I went by yesterday, it looked like Unified has also now popped up in the old Country Cozy spot, not sure what that is about, but IMO that is a very good spot for them. Also it looks like something might be happening with the space next to Flags International.

I had used it a number of times and it didn't seem bad to me, it actually worked quite well. However I sense what is being proposed here may be a bit different, a larger bus with leaving from a central location with fewer stops.

I don't see any of this happening now, but I do like that name, the Snowcaps!

To some degree, everyone regardless of generation, finds comfort in continuing the way they are used to doing things and difficulty in doing things differently . So for the generation that is used to interacting with others online or electronically having to interact with strangers IRL may be...

Because the convention centre, larger hotels and major business offices are downtown.

It sounds like the delays are more related to money than construction issues.

If they can't fix this monstrosity they should really just tear it down and start again.

Yes, lets not forget everything is not perfect elsewhere either. Interestingly, Montreal also does not have LRT to its airport either, although they are working on it. I really don't feel it is productive to just hash out a long list of problems, we need to focus on and fix the ones that we...

True, but compared to almost any other city in Canada, accommodation here is still more affordable so then you would think nightlife would be doing better here. Also not every club or bar is that expensive. Mainly I feel going out is not as much in fashion for the current younger generation as...

Yes, I still have great memories of going to the top floor of the AGT (now Telus) building when that was open to the public with friends visiting from elsewhere in Canada. Last time I went to Toronto, I did the tourist thing and went to the CN tower, which was great. On the other hand...

Yes, that is so annoying too but I have to give at least them some credit for finding another new misleading claim to put ahead of it.

Yes, I think the desire to somehow try satisfy everyone and not really please anyone is part of the reason this has filled so slowly. This could never really be affordable given the location, but with better architecture style and quality it might have appealed more to those who were not so...

Yes, it seems to be filling gradually one space at a time, which I suppose is better than not. In a few years there will be big companies kicking themselves for being to cautious and not getting in here while they could.

Yes, or maybe they are also somehow counting construction workers building all those new houses as industry. It seems to be very much a bedroom community, but with major employers like the Grey Nuns nearby in south Edmonton and the Nisku industrial area just to the south, that makes sense.

Yes, while all of those are problems, the second and the third are probably easier for us to fix in the short to mid term. So maybe we should focus on them.

Yes, the original plan was and still is great, some later additions not so good.

Yes, perhaps the confusion arises because there are actually two different groups here. First of all, people who are cool and hip, secondly, those who have some money and think they are cool and hip. Maybe there is some cross over between the two groups, but probably not as much as some think.

Actually, half streets and avenues that go nowhere more accurately describes our suburban areas. Downtown still has a grid pattern, so if you can't use 102 Street, 103 or 104 works. I was trying to be understanding and polite, but apparently that is considered passive aggressive, so I'll be...
