Old Strathcona / Whyte Avenue

To be bluntly honest, I had no clue such a place existed and I'm definitely not an antique shopper.
 
It was a really unique place and hidden gem. We would stop by walking to Whyte from Downtown and as mentioned, always had thoughts of it becoming more of a community hub.

Make it make sense, man... The city seems to intentionally play against itself... No wonder it's so hard to attract businesses to our more urban areas, with the city seemingly making everything in its power to make it harder for them to survive.
 
That's unfortunate and disappointing given everything.

What I don't get is how the city's and business's information and expectations were so different. You can plan for change, but not for stupidity.

Here's hoping a middle ground and some common sense can be found.
