    Hampton Inn by Hilton | 56.08m | 17s | Triple One | NORR

    It really does look more like a renovation than new construction.

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

    The Stampede is doing another Stampede Park rethink currently. I'm very curious what comes out of that. They have a lot of things they could do but it will be up to them how ambitious they want to be. There's what's next for the Saddledome site, a need to replace the barns beside the Nutrien...

    Calgary Transit

    I have recently thought the City could really do something about its perception and undertake a public awareness campaign that is a look behind the curtain. It has worked well in sports to get people to understand what it is actually like to be an athlete. You could do it for Calgary Transit and...

    The Barron | 43m | 11s | Strategic Group | Gibbs Gage

    I think the latest renders do show the new penthouse.

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

    Does the Nutrien have year-round programming? Granted its capacity is quite small. And I don't think they ever move the dirt out. https://venues.calgarystampede.com/event-spaces/nutrien-western-event-centre

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

    If you think of a western saddle, where one side is actually much higher and wider than the other, it is a good design for an amphitheatre. Plus, the Saddledome Amphitheatre has a nice ring to it.

    Calgary Stampeders

    Tough little run against BC here, their poor health has caught up them on defence.

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    Meaning, their window is closer to two years because with one year left the opportunity to resign opens up again. In that final year the Oilers have the option to play out the season with him or trade him and do what Penguins didn't do and restart their rebuild with a mountain of assets.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    I hope you're right and that there is a new Sheriff in town that is more motivated to do what needs to be done.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    He has said he will not impose a project on a province that does not want it. Unless something changes with Eby I don't see the BC government coming on side.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    Interesting take... https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/nelson-alberta-wont-separate-danielle-smith-mark-carney-promises While some think Danielle fuels the separatist flames with her comments on Canada not being a country if it can't build a pipeline, an ally of hers; Chris Nelson...

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    For who? Meta, Pembina and Kineticor? I'm happy for them and whoever sells them the natural gas. I'm not excited but I do get why some are. Also, fair point to those that pointed out there have been some new electricity generation projects come online. My fear of grid fragility was a bit...

    General Construction Updates

    FYI on the Green Line station layout here. I was curious so I looked and thought I'd share for others who were curious.

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    So funny that they couldn't just do this when doing the 78 AVE UNDERPASS WHICH THEY'RE JUST ABOUT TO COMPLETE! I guess this will be pretty simple as they'll utilize the right-of-way they temporarily built for the CPKC rail line...

    Aeropark 18 | 18m | 6s | M2SC | Casola Koppe

    Granted this is a pretty old set of townhomes but this just is a demonstration of wasting front setback to the detriment of the backyard (or lack thereof).

    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    This is the only thing to get minorly excited about. Outside of construction, once built, these employ very few people and suck up energy resources that could go to the grid. Let's see how we fare in this winter's coming deep freeze, population and thus load has been growing while I haven't seen...

    Sovereign | 40.54m | 14s | Avi Urban | GEC

    Someone has appealed the decision for the DP for the Restaurant just west of here on 17th (use to be Mill St. and many other things...). Who is fighting the opening of a restaurant? Eejit!

    US Politics

    The US these days is not a serious place, there are some serious people there but on the whole they're the drunk guy at the bar in the american flag outfit spouting nonsense.

    I feel like this went up quick.

    The Gryphon | 22.7m | 6s | Mancal | LOLA

    This place is surrounded by those Leonard developments which are full of non-chain businesses. This is natural market forces at work here; I'm not one that thinks a reasonable development should be stopped for virtuous reasons. Sure, some things could be better about this (which I've stated in...
