I'm glad they changed it. It was definitely a disincentive and it bemuses me that it took them as long as they did to consider the possibility of foot traffic.

One of the mistakes made was to turn the mall into Fort Knox during COVID. I suspect it really hurt some of the stores there, I got tired of it and stopped going there for a while.
Oddly, was fairly easy to get in and out of most of the suburban malls.

Admittedly, since the pandemic started, I haven't been keen to linger in malls at all, and tend to just want to get in and out, but for the entirety of it taking the LRT to Southgate has been an easier experience in terms of access, let alone store selection.

CWB sold to National Bank. I wonder how this will impact their downtown move to the manulife building?

Downtown Farmer's Market returns to 104 Street this Saturday. Walk the dog, grab a patio beer, then stick around for Shania and Oilers!

It was mentioned at the end of the news clip, with literally no details besides that.

Really hope we see some more proposals for conversions. Awesome to see PMK getting done. Personally would love to see Highfield Place converted, pretty sure it's completely vacant and has been struggling to get space occupied for years, even pre-COVID office glut
