So Westmount store fixtures is having a moving sale. I'm guessing whoever owns the building is either selling or sold the property to a developer that wishes to add more residential.

If they demolish this building, what will happen to that "Keep Edmonton Weird" mural? I kinda like it!

I think we'll all survive that loss.

I do like that mural, keep it somehow. The building itself I suspect will succumb to progress and will not be greatly missed.

A designed-for-Instagram "Keep ________ Weird" mural is, at this point, one of the most deeply normie things a city can have.

We are not Austin and for the most part I also feel we are a fairly conventional city, but I appreciate both the aspiration and the irony here.

^I'm not sure that qualifies as a "mural"; more like a sign.

If we're going to paint a big motto on the side of buildings it ought to be something a little more uniquely Edmonton. I'd rather see a copycat phrase like that torn down, it's frankly embarrassing.

You need something that captures the local vibe more accurately;

YOU GET USED TO IT

^ I like it -- seems to apply to the "well at least it is adding density" crowd.

I suppose YOU GET USED TO IT could apply to the shortcomings of almost any place, such over priced real estate in several of our major Canadian cities, wildfire smoke in certain California cities, restrictive laws on political expression in certain major Asian cities ....

Rohit really has discovered the magic!

Shows there's an alternative to 'stucco'. Not that I have any issues with stucco. But nice to see more lowrise product moving away from it.

Photos of Lewis Block and whatever the next phase is called.

Other Edmonton developers would do well to connect with a company like NORR Architects (the designer of this and other Rohit projects -- https://norr.com/portfolio/?term=residential) to up their game -- spend the extra dime!
