ECC needs to pay attention to this development in Winnipeg

Portage Place construction reconnecting 2 sides of downtown​


It's hard to miss the giant hole in what used to be the atrium of Portage Place mall. Work is underway to transform the space into a residence and medical centre. For decades, the mall acted as a wall between two sides of Winnipeg's downtown, and the new design has some feeling optimistic about the future of the city's core.

Yes it is an interesting development and I have looked at it some. Although it is downtown, it is not quite the same as our City Centre mall which has more integration with several office towers and another important difference is Winnipeg as well as being provincial capital is the only major city in the province. Their current provincial government is quite invested in the city in a way Alberta's provincial government seldom has been.

A night at the movies inside downtown's failing mall

It's Halloween, and five 7pm-ish screenings at Landmark Cinemas inside Edmonton City Centre have mostly sold a quantity of tickets that can be counted on two hands. The only proper horror movie on this day of days for horror movies is Shelby Oaks, and it has just one paying viewer: Me.

To be fair, I think this past weekend was the worst box office Halloween weekend across North America in something like 31 years: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/m...ice-tops-worst-halloween-31-years-1236416168/

Having said that, this quote is concerning:

Taproot asked Calgary-based Landmark for an update on the location after learning of the mall going into receivership. “As of right now, we have nothing valuable to offer as a statement regarding our tenancy at City Centre,” Olivia Goemans, the digital content and publicity manager for Landmark, told Taproot in September. Goemans did not respond to a follow-up email on Halloween.
