I can recall coming into Edmonton aboard the CN Canadian (mainline from the east) in 1966 -- on the horizon there were only two standouts on the skyline -- the CN tower and and the Avord Arms (now called the Mainstreet Tower); made me think of a near-toothless mouth. Now 53 years later the change is really quite remarkable... the old lady is still in the mix although no longer serving as a passenger station. I can hardly wait to see what the next 50 years brings.
