I think I saw a drilling rig when I drove past yesterday.

Shoring, damn. I was hoping for a parking lot.

Crane already? Wow that was fast.

I guess going low rise meant they didn't need much parkade depth.

Never been less excited. The silver lining could be that it exceeds my non existent expectations.

[hopeless optimism] I think this is going to turn out pretty good. [/hopeless optimism]

Couldn't agree more. I will confess to a degree of what can best be described as "morbid curiosity" as to how it will turn out.

Is it though? At least the original building had some funky mid century flair! This lacks that, uniqueness and any kind of place making statement architecture. It's boring and suburban looking.

The old building had some flair, but was kind of falling apart. I think this is an improvement, but not a huge improvement.
