This sign is up for the strip mall on 16th ave that contains that record store on 6th street NW. Mosaic on 6th

All of the businesses in the strip mall are gone. Signs on the windows say they have permanently relocated.

Great question.....I think the efficiency comes from the fact that the other parkades are already built and not used to capacity. So why add more parking if there is capacity elsewhere?

Great point! I remember about 12 years ago driving to San Francisco and staying at a hotel downtown. They didn't have their own on-site parking facilities, so when we arrived they valet our car to a parking garage somewhere downtown they had contract for a certain amount of stalls. A much more...

This "forest" was created by McInnis and Holloway as a memorial forest. They have been creating different memorial forests in and around Calgary since 1996. You can read more about this program here: Memorial Forests Program More partnerships like this could be pretty cool.

City of Calgary: Progress is removing outdated historical structures and installing a modern sleek parking lot. Just think about the grain size of that crush. Is it 2mm? 3mm? Or do we get a company that spends some money and gives us an asphalt surface. One can only dream of that asphalt surface...

Those took me forever to find. That's crazy!

What is the reason behind the AHL and WHL having different fitness centre as the NHL? Status? I feel like they could save some space by making one space that is 1.5 times the NHL one and just scheduling times in the space. I'm saying this knowing it isn't a huge thing, just honestly curious as...

As someone who's side gig startup is a member of Platform Calgary, the outside does it no justice to what facilities it offers inside. This week was Innovation Week in Calgary and the place was very busy. In fact, it is busy every time I visit. It offers a perfect spot for our boooming tech...

I wonder how a Shoppers at this location will impact the one 6 blocks away on Centre and 14th ave? Are they going to keep both? The one on Centre recently went through renos to accomodate Canada Post moving in.

Great question....Sadly I don't think the value of a human life makes it very far into the calculation. From the best that I could find out, a high end estimate of the value of a human life is $10 million. We've had close to 100 people killed by the C-Train since 1981. Roughly 2/3 were...

I have two copies of it. It's decent, but definitely dated. Definitely need an update.

There were plans for a redevelopment of this site. A DP was submitted in Novmeber of 2021 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/ambassador-motor-inn-calgary-len-perozni-druh-farrell-1.5767180

This is allmost identical to my wife and I. We moved from a Beltline apartment to a townhouse in a three plex in Crescent Heights 10 years ago with a shared backyard and a garage. We don't want or need the square footage and love being closer to downtown. We even chose to have only one child...

The other owners would never allow a missed opportunity of a $650 million dollar expansion fee payment because Murray Edwards wants to move the team for greater profits. (Although we will never know what the profit margin is for CSEC because even though they are receving taxpayer money, they...
