Any idea when Two House will be reopening?

That part of East Village is so different from what it was 10 years ago.

Would you still need 50k? I don’t know anything about traffic stats but I am guessing they have been down lately due to the higher vacancy downtown, plus the amount of people working remotely.

I can feel a change in Calgary over the past 1-2 years. A lot of people are done grieving over the loss of the oil and gas industry, and are ready to move on. Not that the oil and gas industry is completely done, but most people are accepting that the industry is in decline and the golden days...

Finally some cladding up.

No it’s not just you. The two main reasons you spoke of are the same reasons I left Vancouver. Even if Vancouver was more affordable I still don’t know if I could tolerate the people. Honestly, despite Toronto being triple the size of Vancouver it’s a friendlier city. Then you have Calgary 100...

OMG that’s so funny, I almost spit my coffee out. Lol. Totally forgot about that episode.

Good discussion and good points in this thread. It’s a complex issue that doesn’t narrow down to one thing. You can sum it up by saying the two main focusses for this issue are jobs, and general culture/vibrancy. My parents moved from Montreal to Toronto in the 80s. Back then people were leaving...

Wow, thanks for all responses everyone. Excellent info!

A discussion for Calgary’s local beer scene. I’m not an expert at Craft beer or microbreweries, but would like to get more into that kind of thing. Also my brother-in-law is moving here from Hamilton and he’s big on craft beer. He’s already been asking me about Calgary’s local scene. Any advice...

It’s great to see the Flames grind out 4 straight road wins, even if 3 were non playoff teams. They need more experience at winning close games. Some surprises of late -Michael Stone. He looks surprisingly decent -Trevor Lewis. I wasn’t overly happy about the Flames getting him, but I’m...

Personally, I don’t think it’s the provincial government’s job to create vibrant downtowns. That should be the city’s job but the province can help with funding. I understand where AlexYYC is coming from regarding the government being in the development business, but this is the one case where...

Visible progress!

Lol, I forgot about those buildings. Thank heavens they never got built.

I should clarify, by up zoning I mean low-rise buildings between four and eight stories. I agree anything over that height would be too much out of context.

You’ e got my vote!

Sweet!

I don’t know if the developers still do this but they used to buy blocks of houses in what they called options. The developer would go to a group of homeowners and make a deal to buy their house contingent on the neighbouring houses also selling. It would be nice to see 33rd Ave. up zoned so...

Hopefully the hotel at University district Gets completed.

There are a number of upgrades in different areas that have improved the team. The biggest IMO is the coaching.
