The signage sticking out and the black clading gives an old theatre style vibe. This seems part of the overall design rather than just making the original cladding black. Being an Autograph, it makes sense it’s trying to bring some Stampede, old Western style in the hotel.

who's the builder on this? And is this beside the Guild by Crystal Creek?

What is the upper levels of that building used for? Too bad we have such an abundance of office space. In Toronto's King West, there's some nice re-use of older buildings into renovated office space. Nvidia occupies one at the corner of King and Spadina. Shopify's Toronto HQ is also an adapted...

Being passionate and wanting to do something vs executing are different things. By their own admission, they had no experience before they started. At least their adding to retail and apartments to 17th.

Didn't know about the bus barn move. But I'd prefer if that site is turned into residential or other uses than a stadium. Stadium would inevitably need a bunch of land for parking, and having land adjacent to a future "Grand Central" as parking just seems like a missed opportunity. Not a big...

Saw this article primarily on BC gas but has implication for AB. There's estimates (incorrectly imo) of oil peaking, but demand for gas is ever increasing, especially to growing Asian markets. All our focus seems to be on oil, but losing gas production to BC would also be a significant economic...

Imagine taking a 7+ million discount to give your team a chance to see them blow it on a couple third pair dmen and still have a terrible goalie.

To be honest I totally forgot there was a car dealership there. The East side of Crowchild won't be part of it as it's mostly private land, and with Crowchild in between, the value of integrating it is quite low. I don't think there's another site for the fieldhouse that doesn't require...

Are there any heritage protections of McMahon? A new University District on McMahon grounds with a new Fieldhouse would be interesting.

Interior?

According to Wikipedia, the original was 250k sqft and the new one is 325k sqft. Because Edmonton gets most of the "Alberta" museums, Calgary could use some more cultural spaces. They have the Royal Alberta Museum and the Art Gallery of Alberta.

The city actually does a decent job with this, but hard to get the reach. There's videos on how our waste/recycling/organics are processed as an example. Last year, they put out videos on water treatment during the water main break. They also have a podcast deep diving into city administration.

I don't disagree with the security challenges, just not sure how to solve it. The challenge with security is that for it to make a visible difference, the amount and scale would need to very large since even 20 personnel would hardly be noticeable. Second is the ability to do anything. If it's...

He is deploying National Guard and the American military against its own citizens, blocking the release of the Epstein files, blatant personal corruption, holding government hostage over funding Medicare

Any proposal for that site? With the proximity to the University, could definitely build higher there.
