Government salary will get you a modest lifestyle... it is not "juicy" by any stretch.

I work in the non profit space for a juicy 50k haha. 80+ with a pension, every 2nd Friday extra seems too juicy.

Maybe I need to start looking into different governments then

Good earth is going into the west side historical bay next to browns. Opening this spring. Should be a great addition to credo, remedy, iconoclast and other spots in the area.

Add in Versailles Cafe in the old Starbucks on High Street and The Grizzlar coming later this year. Certainly no lack of options if you are picky about your coffee.

Farrow, Baker's Son, Toast Culture, Nosh... the variety of coffee is impressive.

Should be opening soon.

Missing the 'glitz' but I'd prefer it due to the proximity to the Leg, valley and serenity of the area vis a vis.

I really like the MacLaren, its location and its look/feel, but wonder if that corner and traffic would bother me at all.

You'd likely never notice the traffic especially if you were higher up or faced east. The difference between 124 St and 102 Ave is that it's not a 'raceway' like 105 Street can be. Vehicles are generally moving slower in this area.

My first place when I moved out on my own was in the building that shall not be named at the bottom of 105st. When the light turned green and people gunned it up the hill you literally couldn’t here your tv for a good 10-15 seconds lol.

Such a great fit for that spot and a thoughtful guy behind it.

Who's behind it?

^Got a preview yesterday, going to be a nice little spot for locals. Not very big, maybe 25-30 people max. Space is about half built out.

Like it, but still think they F'd the corner with zero interaction, dark glass, nothing inviting and no patio.

The glazing is clear, not tinted. The lack of space on that corner had more to do with how they reconstructed the old Glenora B&B building and the fact there isn't much space to play with given the width of the road ROW, etc.

4th pic from the top -- worked on this project with architect Wayne Scott (perfect name for an architect, don't you think?) back in the '70s -- at that time we designed it as a ladies' clothing store retail outlet (client's name escapes me for the moment). I am happy to see that it is still in the Edmonton mix. We had a few buildings underscoring this design idiom sprinkled throughout the Oliver district (stained Cedar siding, shed-roof forms, skylights and interior well planting). Excellent photos by the way, @Grandinite!

Hello, I just purchased a magnificent home in Wolf Willow designed by Wayne Scott from its original owners. I was wondering if you know the story behind this beautiful work of art. I will be renovating the inside that is still in its 1978 format and would love some feedback. What inspired the original architect's design?
