The bar is so low in Edmonton that we applaud murals Exhibit A:
Not sure how you came to the conclusion behind your computer screen that I am mad, I am not mad, I am simply pointing out exactly what your comment reinforced - that the bar in Edmonton is so low that a building which has sat derelict for a decade getting a mural is better than not having a mural.
Imagine all the other possibilities of activating that building, the Arlington lot, City Center, etc....or don't, just slap a mural on it and wait for something to happen.
Why are you so mad about this? The property is slated for demolition for a second tower anyway, but even if that takes a year or more to manifest, I’d rather walk past a nice mural than a building that clearly looks abandoned and has homeless people living in the nooks and crannies.
I'm wondering the same thing, mural > no mural imo. Appearances do matter, obviously taking care of the building properly, either by demolition and replacement or renovation is preferable. But once again: Mural > no Mural
