1. They should reopen an amazing bar in the basement featuring live music and this time permit 'ripped jeans' (there's a story)
2. Could we please see the flags back over the entrance? It adds a more international flavour having an Alberta, Canada and often times some other key international ones.
3. How about taking better advantage of that awesome top floor pool/sundeck and do some fun events up there with music, tiki bar etc to liven things up.

What building are you talking about? It sure ain't Williams Hall.

If it's the Sandman, that should be in another thread.

Reopen the Smitty's in the former RTDRS space and that street will be COOKING baby.

Albert's is where it's at! Not sure that would fly well downtown though, especially with 124 location fairly close by.

Bars be struggling. The kids ain't drinking. In 2025 they have options. If I had Minecraft when I was 16 I would probably have never bothered with beer.

I don’t drink for health reasons, but if housing and food (dine-in and groceries) weren’t so expensive, I’d be blowing loads of money on mocktails

Not to derail this thread further, but Spilt has a bunch of drinks that aren't too pricey.

Steel going up on the back for the addition:

Someone please get us pictures of the inside. I assume this building is being gutted to the framework?

Correct, it's already gutted (that was completed 3 or so years ago) and new framing is going up as we speak for the 90 residential units and commercial spaces.

Not sure the logistics of this one but it seems to crawling along...

Lot's of steel and interior re-work.

Looking forward to this activating that area again.

^ as 'O noted there is major ongoing interior structural work to refit a new purpose allowing a more cavernous floor space on the bottom 3 levels.
