I think the park rangers were using it last. But it was in pretty bad shape when I was in about 6 years ago.

First look at the renovated Ortona Armoury Building
Artists and non-profit organizations will return to the 110-year-old Ortona Armoury Building in September following a $16.3 million rehabilitation project by the City of Edmonton that dates back to the building's closure in 2019.

This would have been a nice site for a little community cafe, no?

Dub had such a great proposal for a boutique hotel/B&B with a bar/rest and patio. Curious to know where that went.

Looks like they've finally completed construction except for some landscaping or utility work just south of the building.

Again, why no community cafe/pub/bakery CRU in this. Such a a wasted opportunity to make it an everyday hub.

Normally I would agree with you but not sure there are enough people around to make this financially viable here.

Rossdale literally has nothing.

To add to that, I love Rossdale and have looked at places a few times, but simply would not move there in part due to no walkable coffee/pub/bread.

I hear that, but even if you had something here you would still have to cross an eight lane highway from Rossdale to get there. Not exactly a quaint stroll to the local coffee shop. Plus I’m betting most of Rossdale is working outside of the hood during the day. I certainly wouldn’t put my money into trying to make something work here, and I doubt anyone else would too.
