It’s a nice little building. I wish we had more buildings with these thinner profiles.

The renderings show mural, not as exciting as some of the Beltline murals , but much better than the blank wall for sure.

Normally a good place for a McDonald’s but it’ll become a homeless magnet in a couple of months. I wish them luck.

The paint’s okay. It’s nice to have some contrast against its beige neighbor.

Judging by the pace of the project, I’d say the workers have been using them a lot.

An urban format Walmart would be a good addition for Beltline, but to my knowledge they don’t do urban format stores.

Me too!

Even though they’re American there will be some local benefit if they’re franchised, and they would be providing jobs and paying taxes. Certainly better than straight up imported goods. I’ll be using that logic when I stop by to check it it.

The articles are what they are, they’re meant to capture readers, but this is good news no matter which way you look at it. There’s no way to break out exactly how much economic benefit comes to Calgary but one thing for sure is there will be an economic benefit of some kind. It’s the same with...

Great looking building. The level of craftmanship on the exterior side is really tight, and the material is a notch above the usual. Kudos.

I was going to stop in for a look but couldn’t make it. I’m guessing it’ll be open for stuff during the Stapmede?
