Oooh Do you guys think the sign lights up at night?

looks like they're reusing the ones they had from the 2015 Nuit Blanche haha

Applications to open a cannabis store and an application to open a Real Canadian Liquor Store were both refused permits on Block BG this past month.

There are already plenty of cannabis and liquor stores around, don't need ones directly in the district. With that said though, what would be nice to see there?

What we need is an A&W to make up for the one lost in the old Greyhound depot. I'm a simple soul, I'll always walk for a mozza burger.

Went by there yesterday and saw the sign - nice. Just a thought - How about adding Edmonton in there somewhere?

I find the whole of 103 ave between 102 and 104 st completely sterile. I don't think they've done enough to activate the street front. Maybe the grocery store will help.

Literally anything that isn't a bank, dispensary or pharmacy, however unfortunately, those seem to be the only ones that can afford the rent in a high end location.

Hopefully it'll pick up now that other industries are can start to open up again. I feel like those groups had an advantage over entertainment-focused industries since they didn't need to shut down during the pandemic.

It is up to the market to determine what is or is not needed.

Nope, not necessarily. There's no scientific evidence that demand precedes supply in the economic balance. You can drive up supply with increased demand, if the right movements are made and, in this case, it seems to be the choice.
As much as we live in a relatively free economy, some degree of planning, especially when we want to revitalize a certain area, is needed.
It doesn't make us Commies, tho

A rec room in the area would be killer. Canadian brew house will help. I think a coffee shop in that area would be good, maybe one that also does live music and events. Sneaker store.

Keep in mind that with the Brewhouse it will include their take on a rec room.

I'd love to see a sneaker store there or something like a Adidas standalone, but the fact is that it has very low pedestrian traffic and density nearby to support thing right now.
