The biggest reason I’m voting Gondek is her stance against the Ultimate Corruption Party. I fear for municipal democracy should a compliant mayor and council get elected.

Just start calling it Tokyo Drift haha!

I have ptsd from the 00’s red brick stampitecture in that area. I’m happy with this or a brown brick.

It may be a bit trendier but I actually prefer the new design.

Construction in the median going on now at Barlow and 114th.

Some Seton updates:

Paint is a bit better than I expected. Helps a bit.

She was crucified for declaring a Climate Emergency and the Flames immediately used it to kibosh the arena deal and now we all get to fund like 70% of Murray Edwards’ private business because of it. I don’t blame her for not campaigning on that. Why would she unnecessarily open herself to attack...

The recent renderings make me fear a repeat of the West Village Towers podium of cheap beige paneling. I hope I’m wrong and they stick with brick.

I get the necessity for emergency affordable housing but this looks like a temporary workcamp structure from up north. The one across the street turned out great but this is just 🤮.

In a weird way the font almost makes it look like a mid century modern building from that angle. Like it’s an extension of the office beside it.

I had a humanities class at U of C with Myke Atkinson and also knew him second hand from a friend at ACAD that played in a band with him. From what I remember he’s a super smart, super passionate and organized guy. He would make a really good councillor.

People have been pretty harsh on this one but I don’t mind it. It’s much nicer than the initial design.

I hadn’t even noticed this going up. Crazy how far along it is now.

I remember seeing something about condos going in this spot a year or so ago but can’t remember the name or design. The parcel south of Glenmore and west of the traffic circle behind Riverbend is being cleared and there’s lots of equipment on site.
