Something going on with the BMO sign or are they vacating FCP ?

my cynical side says they'll just tear it up when they do the station development

Should have been the station location under the plaza.

Pretty sure they vacated that building a few years back. They moved their offices into Eighth Avenue Place. That building is mostly empty, no?

Good riddance to that cheap ass sign on a beautiful SOM building.

Glad I'm not the only one that was bothered by that.
Was there a nicer BMO sign before that one? Or is my memory shot?

Yeah that “new” BMO sign was a brutal box slapped onto the surface of the building. The original was the old logo built into a recess in the stone cladding - loved it.
I remember the old one now. It was an elegant looking sign that went well with the marbled material, before they put up the dollarama version.

^Haha yes.
Here is a lousy photo of the old BMO sign:

Humpy Hollow Park looks like it’s just about ready to reopen. Looking pretty spiffy.

Would have been ideal but would require the plaza on the other side of Eau Claire, along 2nd St. where the train station is slated for.
