Was it from a random European phone number?

The Rangers second is pretty close to a first. Late 1st/Early 2nd isn't that different. That's a pretty good get and a proactive move, rather than waiting a year or 2, where we'll probably get nothing back because of the contract.

I think that image is the view from a very specific location. That looks like Memorial? As you travel even slightly East or West, the overlap of the buildings would look very different. It's not going to look amazing from every angle, and frankly I don't think that rendering looks that bad either.

Things can definitely change, that release and that website doesn't look like some iron-clad guarantee of the format, it's two years away. The travel to Europe for some round robin, and then BACK for the finals does seem a bit excessive for the European teams. I think this is for NHL players...

Developer is holding an open house Wed, Mar 11, 7-9pm in the Hillhurst Community Association. I doubt much more information will be presented beyond what's public so far.

The NHL explicitly says it'll be in Europe. It is the same time frame as the Olympics. Maybe we should start an email campaign about excluding Edmonton from the bid ;) World Cup of Hockey 2028 will take place in North America and Europe with exact locations to be determined through a host city...

Really liked him as a player, if we were 2/3 years ahead in the rebuild, he would be a good captain, but with his play falling a bit, this is probably the last chance to trade him. He missed out on those Florida cup years, happy for him to at least get a shot at playoff hockey even if Utah's not...

From the Bettman press conference: "I’m aware of the bid,” he said. “Bids are being evaluated. Nothing has been finalized, but it was a good bid. I’m not prepared to tell you today that it was or was not the winning bid, but certainly it’s a bid that people could be very proud of." The use of...

The province is pitching in $15M for the bid, so they probably need it to be an Alberta bid rather than a Calgary bid. Since Rogers place was built they haven't gotten any big NHL events like an all-star or draft, so it's probably to throw EDM ownership a bone. The bubble was fine but with no...

The original vision (and maybe still possible) for the Green line is to go north on Centre, and high floor just wouldn't have worked there. Maintaining consistency is a bit moot since the lengths are so different it won't be interchangeable anyways. I think the issue with capacity, and the full...

Sounds like the old store is not having residential, just retail? Just an uninformed theory but is the challenge is they want to own the land and asset, so for the big developers, it just doesn't make sense to be a development partner (builder) when they can spend their effort and labour on...

There's lane closures on this stretch of 9th Ave for utility relocation for the underpass. Quite a large section they've closed off.

If that one wasn't getting built at the height of international student enrollment, I'm not sure what they're waiting for.

That's an extremely simplified view of government finances. It's not like the NDP had the power to commit a decade of budget spending, just like how the UCP isn't solely responsible for the new schools built just because they started "planning" and a future government finished it. This type of...

Hoping for more of these types of re-use. Top of the list is the Kensington Safeway. It wasn't part of the renovations a couple years back so hopefully something get's developed.
