Might be aging myself but I still remember that corner when it was a Red Robbins. Went there for my high school graduation.

Too bad it's destined to become a sterile lobby.

For people even more olderer than O-Tac and Cameronhowe, how about the days when Red Robin offered free apps such as Fries, dried pork spare ribs, and wings, spring rolls, meat balls etc between 3:00pm and 5:00pm? Yep that's right, free as in no charge, go ahead and pig out.

The corner is very much not a lobby.

"Retail continues to operate as usual except for the 8,000 square feet, over two levels, of restaurant space that wraps around the corner of 10th Street and Memorial Drive. Discussions are underway with a local operator to lease the space."

Happy to hear that. The rendering looked like a lobby and I mistakenly thought someone had said that before. Glad to hear it will still be retail.
 
At my grad there was bottomless
fountain pop refills and my friend and I drank so much that we got a caffeine high the likes of which I have never experienced since.

I waited tables at the Red Robin at Southland Crossing. The chain still has a few locations in BC
 
Anyone else wouldn't be too sad if the demolition crew were a little drunk, and just kept going?

I'd be curious to know the cost difference between this re-skin/addition, and a brand new building. Doesn't quite seem like the headache is worth it (renos never seem to be on budget), but I have no idea.

I'm just happy that the ugly salmon-coloured stucco will be gone soon at this point. I know the building was "iconic" to that stretch of Memorial/Kensington but it's always felt like such an eye sore to me.

It’s been begging to be history more than it’s been “iconic” at any point in history.
 
This was never my favorite either...but having said that, I do hope we don't lose too much of that 90s/yuppie/Friend's feeling of Kensington. They painted that funky green/brick Flatiron building a boring white...I really don't want to see more of that.
