Apparently the schools are full…at least according to friends in that neighborhood.

One good thing I will say about Currie is that it has some strong, unique, commercial anchors (The Inn, Veranda, Wild Rose). I love UD, but everything there you could find at a generic shopping centre. Currie needs to build off those anchors and add more services (and schools) so that the...

I just notice a Leonard sign up on the house at 1908 34 Ave SW, across the road from Elizabeth Square. Also noticed a bunch of building materials on the corner lot next door. Seems like it is being used for staging. I think it might be owned by Sarina, but that could have changed and I wander if...

I've always thought that the epicentre of 17th should be further east, or at least that there should be a second epicentre. To me, the blocks between 17th Ave & 13th Ave, and 4th St & 1st St are ripe for redevelopment because of the incredible central location. Here you are within walking...

No notes!

The ol’ bait & switch!

I feel like a saw a lil’ empire burger sign up last time I went by here, but could be lying.

I feel like you could rent a 3-4 bedroom inner city house for less than this.

The long bar in Phoenix was actually a cool feature. When I first walked in, I thought it was dumb to have the bar in the middle of the main entry, but traffic actually flowed well around it, the service was fast, and I had a drink in my hand within about 2 minutes of walking into the building.

That’s weird. When I spoke to someone at their booth during Marda Gras, they said they were going to reuse a significant portion of the existing building. I told them I was surprised by this based on the renderings.

Yeah, maybe the area will get up zoned with the West Elbow Local Area Plan. The reality is that a significant portion of 33rd has already been up zoned through individual applications (mostly by Sarina). I just think it’d be short-sighted for the City not to finish the job and carry a...

You’re right, it definitely is.

I asked about phasing during a public session and didn’t get warm, fuzzy feelings that the City will ever touch the east half of 33/34. Below is from the FAQs on the project website. It doesn’t outright say it’ll never happen, but reading between the lines, it seems unlikely that the east half...

Totally agree! My biggest concern is that what happened on 17th is going to happen to the most prominent corner in the neighbourhood. The City is already relying on developers to carry the load east of 18th Street, because that section doesn’t meet the “commercial” requirements for Main...

I probably would have put Annex and 33 Acres above the Establishment. I like the beers at Establishment but find the experience lacks there (pretty much the same thing the authors said in their review). I like(d) Ol’beautiful’s tap room but was never huge on their beers. It’s also been a while...

They (the development team) said it won’t be completed as part of Main Streets because they don’t want to waste taxpayer money (i.e., the developer will pay to complete it). My argument to them was “well what happens if the developer doesn’t get funding, or the market changes, and this project...

Pretty solid list.
