    AHC 6th Ave | 25m | 6s | Attainable Homes Calgary | Hindle Architects

    It is a means to an end. Get experience with modular. The mural is subtly great, distracts from the building. If this was the 10th modular project, they've done like this, I'd be pretty put off by it, but it is their first.

    What about Alberta makes it Strong and Free? This government... Personally, I see weak (minded) and constrained (no access to tide water)

    Sounds like exactly what we need to get a high draft pick. I was optimistic about this season, but things just feel off. Your first ten games are more important than any 10-game segment all year and so far, I don't like their chances of working their way out of this. They seem to have good...

    At this height, could this be wood frame?

    For Farkas, I tend to believe that he has moderated himself and is more pragmatic. His previous run on council and for Mayor was anything but moderate or pragmatic. Criticism or skepticism as whether he was changed is warranted. Will the real slim shady please stand up.

    It is Michael Bay level lens flare.

    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    Uh... this is perfect for football. Also from the article: “It doesn’t matter if it’s football or F1, premium space is in demand, and we have corporate partners that really want to provide that space, either to their employees or to their clients, and we don’t have enough premium space.”...

    I so badly want modular apartment construction to work in Canada, I think it has great potential, but we need to do better than this. If this is a first step towards better design, then I'll take it for what it is but this cannot be the standard, we have to demand better or we risk being a...

    We really use to be something... The shear ambition to build the Calgary Tower in that city of modest towers. Then we hosted an Olympics! I'm trying to think of what could be a modern equivalent feat that we could undertake, I'm struggling.

    I'm nervous as hell to vote Farkas. I, maybe naively, believe he has changed... Thiessen would be my other choice, but the polls tell me that would be a wasted vote. I just remind myself it is one vote on council. I was hoping we'd get someone run that sold themselves as someone who can run a...

    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    As a former Stampeder season-ticket holder, I will say the idea that everyone tailgates are not exact accurate. It is the hardcore season-ticket base, obviously as they're financially invested enough to do the work to tailgate. A move to Stampede Park would not eliminate this. I agree with you...

    Francesco is a good development, Enzo is good too, and I don't really mind Fifth but I'm heavily skeptical of what is to come. They have pulled back a little with the one at 17th and 7th (new Lululemon). Then of course there's Sentinel... I wonder why they wouldn't do something similar to...

    The original tower was in the 60s I believe. It is now the building being converted.

    There is nothing better than an opening night win over the Oilers. And their goalie completely blowing it while Wolf plays well.

    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    I don't think so, a land swap with the city for McMahon and the City land along 24th Ave would make sense to facilitate and less awkward design for the fieldhouse than has been advertised. Or maybe the fieldhouse can go somewhere else in the City (bus barn, west village?) and the whole area from...

    I hope someone somewhere is working on a proposal for this site. To clarify, I mean to maintain the building and reimagine it. If it were to be demolished I might chain myself to its marble columns...

    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    The Stampede has the demand to expand the infield seats. It is very challenging to get tickets to the Rodeo. Especially if they remove sections from the ends of the grandstand which are not great seats for any kind of spectating. I had heard myself that CSEC and thus the Stampeders are pretty...

    Stampede Hotel | 57.5m | 14s | Truman | NORR

    For me, the anticipation for this is equal if not greater to the long rumoured Truman Stampede Station development that did come to be. I probably cannot describe how excited I would feel for Stampede Park to get closer to realizing its potential versus being the Strathmore Stampede Grounds in...
