Even with the rest of the strip being vacant, the Palomino and the Eden nightclub adds more street life to the area than Telus Sky and the Bow combined based on my experience going to shows at the Palomino. The Palomino is one of the only bars left in the city with any character

How can it possibly be inconsequential when they are a few of the last remaining buildings on what was once the major commercial avenue of the city? How can you possibly rationalize demoing historic buildings by using our past approach to heritage preservation (which has gutted our core and...

I've long accepted that the 7th Ave strip will get demolished. What I find sad is that there is no attempt to save the facades. The last thing we need is a bland, block long podium like what happened with Eighth Ave Place and the historic facades would help with that. The Stephan Ave side is...

Stone was great out there! The Flames have outplayed the Stars the entire series but haven't got the results. The Stars have no business winning this series. It is time to put them away

I really hope you're wrong about your characterization of our esteemed fellow Calgarians @haltcatchfire but I have lived here long enough to know that's probably how it will go down.

I feel like this is a disaster waiting to happen. I really hope this starts to generate public opposition and attention to what is at stake

This will wipe out the last complete pre-war commercial block in the city. I was hoping that the facades on 7th would be retained but there is nothing in the plans, just some generic looking streetscape. If this was on any of the numerous massive empty lots in the city I would be all for it but...

Anyone know if they are still doing a reclad?

Scratch that. I'll take a 7-0 win please and thank you

It does have a bit of a Miami beach blonde vibe going for it.

I noticed this ground level renovation on Centre st and 4th the other day and I don't remember seeing a post about on here. I wasn't able to snap a pic so a year old Google maps view will have to do.

Same with the Winston Manor on 4th. But as long as the design is solid and it doesn't sit as an empty lot it will be a good trade off for 4th

Gritty win by the Flames last night. In some ways i'm more confident after a 1-0 win than had they blown them out 7-0.

To me this is the way to go. Developers recognize that expensive residential builds in a downtown core that lacks a sense of place and has a hostile public realm is tough to market to new residents. If the City can improve that aspect of the CBD I think that developers will naturally begin to...

It looks like the Palomino building is part of the plan. I would be sad to see it go as it is a cool spot. But overall this is a really unique opportunity to revitalize nearly an entire block of heritage buildings in a prominent location while adding density and retail. I am praying for a good...

I've been thinking that myself. Bankview is really underserved by walkable retail options when you stop to think about it.

Well at-least I wont have to complain about it having too many shades of grey, beige and brown

A couple more renders for the ones on 9th ave from the City's news release

Something definitely needs to be done fairly soon or that slope is going to continue to give out to the point where the trail wont be usable. Maybe they could work it into a plan for the Banff-Calgary line?

The best is when you experience some ridiculous social conundrum and then realize that a Seinfeld episode had already joked about it
