Here is a shot from my hot air balloon ride yesterday morning.

Based on this fact and some quick scale measures I'm getting the height of the tall one to be about 335m with the smaller one being around 300m! 🧐

Unfortunately you are correct in your fear of a carwash...

In my own experience I have found when I have been in cities with the elevated lines, as I pass overhead (or at grade for that matter) I see businesses that grab my attention from the train that I then in turn seek out and ultimately become a customer of. Which I can't say has ever been the...

You can actually see their staging area for those modular units in this photo from @O-tac . This photo is looking South from the Hospital and you can see the white wrapped modular units just south of the Blue/White/Red condo in the empty lot there. So I guess they drop them all off there, then...

They are definitely modular. I saw them all lined up like oilfield camp trailers about a week ago and they looked like they had just been unloaded from trucks off the road. I was not sure what they were for until I saw this update! With a mobile crane rented for a day they would have just picked...

Saw a second one going up on my bike ride past this morning.

You can see the current work progress well in recent satellite imagery. Along with the work and extension north on runway 17R/35L, it also looks to be a sizeable extension to runway 11/29 on either end to help with those strong chinook wind days.

The West Calgary Ring Road Newsletter update from today confirmed that Stoney Trail will open to traffic between Bow Trail and the Trans-Canada Highway early October.

It was an automatic League review on that Minnesota OT goal and it was ruled offside. So players all had to make their way back to the ice and play the last 1:40 of OT, then go through the Shootout. Finally some luck on our side!

There is a crane up at Elbow 5 Eight! You can see it in this Calgary Traffic Camera at MacLeod and Glenmore.

I saw some development plans a while ago for more retail here including a Long and Mcquade but I can't seem to find them anymore. Seton's website does seem to confirm the Long and Mcquade on their map at least. I had also seen other development maps showing another hotel for the south half of...

This structure in the river was put in at some point in the late 70's. The 1975 imagery does not have it but it first appears in the 1979 historical imagery on the city's website: But I think that is an intake pump added for the pump station on the North bank that provides the cooling water for...
