Was it now? We should blame visitors for staying at a '3.5-4 star' close to all major attractions and amenities? Really?

Unfortunately, the Broken Window Theory seems to prove true.

Wait. This thing is open??? I thought it shut down. Sure doesn’t look like it’s open…

It was shutdown during its renovation and transition, but is very much open and having stayed there awhile ago I thought it was nicer than all but two hotels Downtown... but the area is BAD.
*BAD if you don't know the area or Edmonton. If I showed up to this in Vancouver it would indeed be the DTES.

Drivers behind noisy vehicles deserve stiffer fines, some Edmonton residents say
Petition calling for higher fines has 500 signatures so far, Coun. Michael Janz says

Another reason why downtown Edmonton can't have nice things.

An even better idea is they should quit farting around with the Connect Center construction and get rid of the Bob and Doug coverings already!

Yes that as well. No idea what is going on there with the street repairs.

It's been sitting idle so long that plants are starting grow in the hole.

I saw those yesterday. Looks like data and utility lines exposed in the bottom. and now they are cutting and removing the sidewalk to the east of Stantecs entrance.

The hosers are now free of graffiti but they are still blocked off and likely waiting for the next jerk-off to vandalize them

Whenever the UCP government announces money and Calgary is named it always acts as a trigger for me, haha, so I may be off base.
The province just made an announcement in Calgary of $5.2 million for crime prevention grants in response to recent shootings there, and granted they've had a lot.
But we have more homicides here yearly despite a smaller population and we just had the two Chinatown murders and our council is spending money to set up increased police operations with not a word from the province. But there are shootings in Calgary and they react with this announcement. So typical.
