"urban villages" - sure... who are we kidding. It's all car centric

Not very bike friendly either - you're basically forced to have a car to get anywhere (or a boat to get across this artificial pond 😑).

I’ve looked at the Calgary development map and can’t seem to find any development proposal for this site. I heard the houses are coming down on Monday and some condominiums are going up. Anyone has any information? The location is in mission close to 17th ave and 4th street...

Lonely mouth bar is about to open where Ox Bar de tapas used to be. They are part of the Concorde group and this protect will be modern Japanese food and sake/cocktail bar. National, Bridgette, Model Milk and others are part of Concorde group so I’m looking forward to this new project
