That cladding….woooof.

I would still rather have this:

Aesthetically from the outside I give this an 8.5/10. I like this one a lot. Simple and attractive!

What are the sticks above the black corrugated metal section? Lights?

I swear I’ll lose my mind if they demolish the Bay building. I would love to see the exterior carefully renovated while the ground floor broken up into smaller CRU’s. Imagine a dozen smaller CRU’s lining the arcade walkway, would feel like a European street. I’m thinking keep The Guild...

I’m starting to agree, this renovation is not that appealing. I wish they just imploded the whole thing and started from scratch. Would have probably taken less time and be finished sooner!

Sorry for the crappy picture, screenshot from Glenbow’s Instagram page showing a brief drone fly around video. That upper glass corner looks as awful as I feared it would. Did they really choose sea foam green spandrel? Hopefully the inside turns out well, as the exterior leaves a lot to be...

Holy Fuck! I don’t mind the white and blue paint, but what the hell did they do with the top right corner? Why wouldn’t they just continue the pattern. I don’t think I’ve ever seen something as ridiculous as this…..it must be a joke.

Let’s be honest, there isn’t much in Flames history to warrant an entire Flames Hall of Fame haha. Probably one of the most mediocre franchises in NHL history, but I digress.

Any chance they recreate some of the Saddledome exhibits that are spaced around the current concourse like a display on the Olympics, Flames/Hitmen history boards, etc? Would be nice to have murals, banners, trophies, and cool artifacts on display all over.

Careful everyone, some might think of you as a NIMBY for having the audacity to be disappointed in the new design compared to the original!

We have a winner! Thank you jhappy77 I couldn’t agree more with your statement. I’m all for assisting the people who need it most and want/willing to be helped. Those that are agents of chaos and do not want any assistance should be forcibly removed from our streets and exiled as would have been...

Gasp! Are those water fountains in front of each lobby? A fountain in Calgary? Can’t be, that’s not allowed….

I would bet money the SAM Center gets converted to more school space for the performing arts stuff that is currently on site within the next decade. I agree with everyone else, I don’t see the draw or appeal of the SAM Center. Not sure why they would have invested that amount of time, money...

Is it me, or is Imperia’s pit much larger and deeper, even though it is a shorter/smaller tower?

I fully agree with Infrastructure Enthusiast’s ideas. I’m at the point where they need to be gathered up and forcibly sent to some type of set up outside of the city where they can detox, get mental support, learn new skills, and get set up for introduction back to society. The ones that can...

Just finished an extensive bike ride along the Riverwalk, including East Village. I’m just going to go ahead and say it because I don’t care anymore, but they need to remove the DIC ASAP and relocate it somewhere else more on the fringes. Can’t believe the city renewed its existence for another...

So I finally made it down to the new Eau Clare Plaza with my kids. As someone who was openly negative about this plaza during construction, I will offer my final opinion after seeing it in person. Overall I would give this a 7.5/10 which is better than I was expecting. Likes: Main tree lines...

So only 2 1/2 floors out of 8 are actual exhibits?

My appologies for having high standards and wanting Calgary to be an amazing city. We all know not every proposal will get built, as that is not realistic. If that’s true, then I would rather the ugly ones be the ones to get cut. Give me more Lincoln’s and Imperia’s. For the lower cost option...
