I've always thought it would be so nice to have some permanent resto/patio stuff along the river. I'd love to see the second phase of Concord have a restaurant at the base.

Tell him to use Lambo type materials on his next conversion ;)

I think the poll was also run by the Calgary Party itself, if I'm not mistaken. Either way, it's going to come down to a case of who to vote for. There are three progressive candidates all trying to unseat Wong. Last election it was two candidates and they split the vote. I'm not feeling great...

Very interesting read. It sounds like the downfall wasn't too surprising when you look at the events leading up to it.

Those are just formwork panels I believe. They're used to hold concrete when pouring the concrete floor.

Yeah, I think cars backing up will be a problem, un less they move the service window to the west side of the building, then it would give a fair bit of room for cars to queue up.

The thing I worry abut is what TTRC had mentioned. I'm not sure how many of Wong's supporters managed to make the poll. Last time he had 25% of the vote, which I think is probably going to be similar this time, but with three people standing out on the progressive side It's a bit too close for...

It's definitely a progressive ward. Much of ward is also the same area that covers the Calgary riding that voted liberally in the federal election. He can easily be beaten, if people can get behind a common progressive candidate.

After a shaky start with conversions, some of the recent ones have turned out fine (The Loft, Teck Place, Dominion, and Petro-Fina) I'm really liking this Dominion conversion, it's all good all around. Great job on the facade, retail at base preserved, Interiors that look decent.

I was reading on Reddit the other day, quite a few people not sure what to do for Ward 7. That undecided 54% tells me those people don't really care for Wong, but don't know who to vote for yet. I mean, he's the incumbent, and he's only at 17%. I feel like he could easily be beaten, it's just a...

It's weird. Kimmel's comments weren't even really over the line. There has been lots of commentary about Kirk that is worse, and could be considered over the line. Once government officials start stepping in to control the media, it's bad. It's all part of the process in how doctorships happen...

Lol. Still Tokyo vibes for me.

I thought so too. He watches the show and came up with idea to do one for Cowtown.

Apologies for the Shameless plug :) My son did up a Portlandia spoof video for Calgary. His filming, and his editing.

I've always been okay with the paint job, the only thing I wished they'd have done differently was to paint all section white or all black, rather than alternate between he black and white.
