    General Construction Updates

    Totally! I mean, it's what 6 parking spots? The space could be used for so much better. A patio in that spot would be great.

    1405 - 4th Street | 77m | 24s | GWL | Arcadis

    I think of high-rises as 12 floors, and towers as 14 or more. That's just me, so I'm also going to go with 8 :). It still sort of depends on the shape of the building though. A 14 story building with a thin profile feels like a tower to me, but a 14 storey building with a huge floorplate might not.

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

    Calgary International Airport

    Canada has will and will have a large Asian population, but for Canadians, and even many Asian Canadians, Europe is still the huge destination for tourists. I'm sure it'll change as time goes on. For Calgary, we can also reach European destinations easier than Asian destinations.

    Weather and Gardening Discussion

    My south facing rose bush and mint is still going strong. Apples on the tree aren't growing anymore, but I'm still picking them. I see the weather looks to be solid right up to Halloween where it's forecast at 19C. So often we seem to get a dump of snow right before Halloween, and then cold...

    East Village Truman Hotel | 24m | 6s | Truman | NORR

    Regarding the fence, they could easily create a win-win by simply raising the park/pool area one floor up, and having retail/resto fronting the pathway. The guests still get their secured pool area and the river pathway gets a bot more retail..
