    We haven't had a forum meet up for a while. I'd be down.

    Contemporary Calgary | 20m | 4s | Contemporary Calgary | KPMB

    I've brought it up to the owners and they seemed open to the idea of having some articles here and there. Their only concern at the time was consistency with the other skyrise sites.

    Statscan numbers

    Agreed. There was a post from I think @ByeByeBaby where he had rough numbers for jobs directly and indirect related to oil and gas for both cities, and Edmonton had a lower percentage, but not a big difference, and if I recall both cities were declining at maybe a similar rate. Calgary tends to...

    Statscan numbers

    Ottawa's didn't make sense, even adding Gatineau with it, it wasn't much higher than today's CMA numbers. I don't believe the maps are apples to apples, as the Ottawa map might not have been the updated Ottawa CMA. I didn't take the time to go through and figure it out, but a quick look showed...

    We have a lot of great contributors here, contributing on so many different subjects, from road work, to cycling , to building materials, to transit, to photo updates, to resto/pub discussion, to inside info getting mentioned here first, and almost any question someone poses will get answered...

    The Galloway | 37m | 10s | Ayrshire | EFG Architects

    It was from this post. Three of the four blocks adjacent to the intersection have developments under construction or very close to it. Lots of change coming to that area with 710 units under construction or with an active building permit, and the strong possibility of another 392 units. In that...

    Rumours & Speculation

    It would be a pretty slim tower for that location, something similar to One Bloor West, but could be a bit bulkier. The biggest part of the Keystone lot is roughly 145' x 175', and for comparison sake, One Bloor West has a foot print of roughly 120' x 90' I would never balk at a supertall, but...

    Looks like Myself, Mountain Man and Urban Warrior are the top posters, and no coincidence we're also the ones who have been around the longest. I just did the math for myself, and I'm averaging 4 posts per day. apparently I have a lot of time on my hands 😅

    Statscan numbers

    Some predictions - growth to 2049 - from Statscan on various census divisions around Canada and various growth scenarios. For Calgary Census division 6 is mainly our CMA + plus Foothills MD I thought I'd compare Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. Ottawa's numbers didn't look to be apples to apples...

    Calgary Restaurant Thread

    You don't hear about cock roaches being much of a problem in Calgary, but it only takes one of the restaurants to get the issue and it spreads quickly top the rest.

    Rumours & Speculation

    I was wondering that too. The thing that makes me rule it out is the site is owned by the same people behind Keynote and Stephen Ave quarters (Mannix family) and I'd be surprised if they hired an expensive out of country architect, but who knows.

    The Onyx Hotel | 14m | 4s | Leonard

    Me too. It's two different vibes in one neighborhood, with 34th being my favorite of the two.

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    Agreed. They've beaten some good teams lately and have moved form last to 2nd last, but there aren't many teams the Flames could realistically pass after Nashville. Maybe Buffalo or Vancouver.... They'll finish bottom 5 or less.

    Hmmm... A few places pop into my mind. - Former Grace hospital site - North Hill Mall - University's Innovation Quarter

    Rumours & Speculation

    There was talk of a hotel going in beside the Cowboys Casino, and that the project was to be managed by Matthews Southwest. That's the lot I thought we were talking about, but there is also the one to the NW of the BMO centre. I forgot there was a concept proposal for that lot.

    Rumours & Speculation

    I think it's the lot beside the BMO Centre. It was supposed to be a hotel at one time, but personally I would love it to be the empty lot beside the BMO tower.
