Construction happening in Ramsay, where the old black-and-white store was.

some renders of the Black and White project. Nice little development of 11 units.

Looks like the corner store is gone. Are they building a new one or did they just move the original to bring back after?

Sounds like it will be an "office", but I'm not sure whether that means something fully private, or if it's something like a real estate lawyer that will have drop in clients.

I love the original sign, but I could see it being confusing for people passing by.

The Applicant has provided an updated Development Application, which will replace the historic building with a contemporary structure in the same location. The new building includes a similar form and scale to the heritage resource, and references the curved canopy and stucco cladding from the Black & White Meat and Groceries. The original roof top signage will be restored and reinstalled on the new structure, and the new building will retain a commercial use (office), allowing the site to maintain a mixed-use component. A publicly accessible information feature will also be provided on-site for the Black & White Meat and Groceries.

Well that’s disappointing.

Oh man, that little store was perfect. I wish we had one of those in our neighborhood.

Construction looming? For this project

Not the best renderings but a look at the upcoming SEC renovations including the new build along 6th Ave:

Also, looks like the airplane in the lobby will be removed as part of the reno:

Boo, the plane was the best part.

Sad that the plane is moving but the renders of the renos look promising so far

Eau Claire plaza still moving at a snails pace, but it looks like a whole new section of patio stones have been put down. I’ll stop by on the way home and see if I can get a closer picture.

I really like the renovations that SEC is proposing. Having a roof top restaurant will only help make downtown more vibrant and activate that part of downtown.

As for my nemesis Eau Claire….what can I say. Are they even adding a splash park or has that been removed?
