There's no reason to think that something interesting won't come for the area with time. Even suburbia manages to have some unique and worthwhile pubs. It's one of the few things it can do reliably well for amenities TBH. I like that little place that fills growlers, but honestly a huge mistake...

Anyone have pics of the Spider-Beetle's new installation for those who haven't seen it?

I attempted to replicate this shot. I'm about a block up. Here's another one I've titled 'Telus of the Smokey Skies':

The airport authority's own estimate of 6.4% growth should see passenger movements around 17.3M this year. Per the early discussion around future expansions beyond the current one. Here's an image I found following some Googling. It's actually from an SRC article...

TBH, the ceder/pine shake is the only part of this project that's never really wowed me. It's looking really solid in spite of it though. The scale is a little smaller than I had imagined too. How many units are in it in total?

I couldn't agree more. I was in the Vienna airport a couple of summers ago, and it turns out that it's very similar to Calgary in terms of the number of flights and gates. They'd also recently completed a major expansion that added a new terminal. The new side was very nice and modern. The old...

I think there are 76 gates at the airport currently. I believe this expansion isn't the only one in the long term vision. I think the plant full plan is supposed to go up to 103 or 108 or something like that. I doubt they'll be rushing right into the next one though. Aren't they still working on...

I'd start with an arena. But yeah, someone should probably fork over some dough for some Rembrandts and Monets so that when they croak their children stick it in a gallery.

Melbourne has apparently reigned supreme for the last 7 years at the Economist. The lead story in the free report is that Vienna knocked them off. I know what you mean about Van topping lists though. They must have done it somewhere else recently. There's very little depth in the free report on...

The 2018 Economist Liveability Survey is out. Calgary was the top placed Canadian city at 4th. Vancouver came 6th and Toronto 7th. Calgary was placed 5th last year if you recall. With both Vancouver and Toronto placing ahead of us at 3 and 4, so butts to them I say! Calgary Wins! :D Calgary's...

I really hate getting stuck with gate 70. It's the only part of the new expansion I've been in as well. It's hard to get to and your description of it being large and and empty, but somehow simultaneously cluttered and cramped is pretty apt. I'd also add monochrome and sterile. Everything is on...

Lol yeah, the deathly pallor coloured spandrel is definitely a drawback.

It seems like there's quite a few passionate hockey fans here. Is anyone interested in doing a forum hockey pool this year? I started running one mostly with family last year and I'm part of different one going into it's third season. I don't mind running another one if there's sufficient...

Tristin Hopper at the National Post very slightly got the hop on the Star with something similar too. Personally I think it would be really weird if just Toronto-Proper were to be a province. I think the GTA makes mot sense, especially when you consider that the airport is in Mississauga.

This project has turned out really well. Maybe not quite up to my highest expectations, but I think it is one of the better looking condo towers of the recent boom. I had hoped that it might be able to challenge the Royal at one point, but that one is probably going to be best rather than merely...

I'm not totally happy with the buyout myself. Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of Brouwer's on ice performance. He has a track record as a guy who drags down his line mates statistically and only makes the occasional tip of the hat to his reputation as a tough guy. I figured with the way the team...

Oh man don't tease me! I'd freaking love that! :eek: I never dared to dream that it even could be until you mentioned it to be honest. I just figured that brut was a four letter word to most designers and developers these days. This thing would look stunning in concrete. Sadly, If you look...

Sorry I'm late to the party. I read a bit about this while I was away on vacation, but I wasn't posting. This is awesome news!
