I've lived and/or worked on or near the 124th Street area for nearly two decades. While its improvement has not been measured in a straight line, it's generally a much more vibrant street than it was 15-20 years ago. It's "getting there", and hopefully will continue to "get there" over the years...

Are they taking over the McDonald's space?

Oh, I'm afraid the South West hospital will be quite operational by the time Gene Dub arrives.

Urban Sparq, who... well... didn't always hire the best people, let's say.

Powerage has called it quits, for reasons I'm not privvy to. All I can say is that it's a very big loss for 124th Street. They really filled an underserved niche.

Would they not be taking any of the old RBC space?

I walked by the other day and the townhouses on the northern edge look like they have a lot of interior work left outstanding. It looks like they're finally doing some landscaping and prep work for the walkways to each unit's front doors, though.

It's not unprecedented either. EIFF used to run out of the Garneau, at least 15-20-ish years ago iirc.

The infamous "bike seat" design.

Wouldn't that mean the new restaurant should be called Verdi?

So we have a lot more options than we used to, but they kinda suck, is what you're saying?

Former Strathcona County Mayor and PC MLA Cathy Olesen has endorsed the Alberta NDP.

Notley gets the Jann Arden endorsement:

It's almost as if we shouldn't let bogus crocodile tears from the UCP about unfair tax hikes against so-called "job creators" get in the way of logic and reason.

Notable to me that the NDP are getting some endorsements from prominent former Conservative politicians. Former PC MLA and Cabinet Minister Doug Griffiths: https://rdnewsnow.com/2023/05/19/former-pc-cabinet-minister-endorses-two-ndp-candidates/ Former Lougheed Staffer and Harper Conservative...

She and her BFF Ron DeSantis can go together!

I have to credit Boessenkool, as well as Thomas Lukaszuk and Chris LaBossiere, for speaking up and taking a stand against Smith. Rajan Sawhney, on the other hand, should be ashamed of herself.

Make Danielle Smith a Corus Entertainment Media Personality Again

Didn't you hear? Dani gave a blanket apology yesterday for every idiotic comment she's ever made. That oughtta cover it!
