Holy FOCK that is bad! If they painted the concrete white it would at least look less awful. Or even just staggered the spandrel. Why pick such an eye catching and clashing blue?

Beige?! Beige! This looks like the corporate Imperial Oil campus in Quarry Park. Keeps getting worse. Wtf?!

Branding campaigns are insane and seem to be a black hole for money. Marketing is a dark art. At least there's no cowboy hat.

Danielle Smith has a megaphone right now declaring she wants Alberta Sovereignty. From the Sovereignty Act to the new Gatekeeper Bill designed to block Federal funding to universities non profits and cities, to her pushing for provincial police, to pulling our investment out of CPP.

It has been disappointing. I am somewhat hopeful with the amount of construction ramping up there recently however. In another couple years it will hopefully feel fuller.

Oh yeah I remember! Saw the damage after. Today's windstorm is right up there with that one.

Looks like the odd lot shape has led to some interesting design choices.

At this rate Mahogany will have more of a skyline than Seton (even with the hospital). Brookfield shit the bed it seems developing their market street. It's finally seeing some action after 13 years but nothing so far is taller than 5 stories. The original conceptual art showed at least 1...

I am never surprised by Danielle Smith's hypocrisy, stupidity, corruption, lies, incompetence, belligerence or plain old pettiness. She whines incessantly about the Federal government not respecting other jurisdictions and then imposes her rural dumbass ideology onto municipal and federal...

To the surprise of no one Smith is now attacking Calgary's blanket rezoning after blocking Federal housing funding that would have given us much needed help to build more homes. The damage she is doing to this city and province will set us back a decade...

Watched these get built as I work nearby. Interesting that the old settling pond on the bigger solar farm off 52nd isn't fully capped in that photo. The enormous dirt pile north of that site has been completely moved south of 114th and there is a project listed for 2 large warehouses now. I've...

I saw some work going on there last week and wondered if it was for the tunnel. Also saw some work going on here: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.9892133,-114.0003992,3a,75y,5.24h,92.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sH6zUFjdhI5ieXymq_6FIWg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

The money is based on municipal zoning. If the Feds want to bypass a belligerent, lying provincial government that is itself interfering in both municipal and federal politics I don't blame them. At least Smith gave the bill an honest name. She wants to gatekeep Albertans from receiving back our...

Excited to see the sculpture finished. Looks amazing!

Is it weird I liked the darkness inside before? I also really liked the crystal staircase. It made it feel like you were in a strange alternate dimension or place.
