It varies from year to year, especially if we get a heavy frost, the leaves go quickly. The coloring of some trees seems to vary on how much heat and sunlight we get. It's definitely later this year, and it's been this way for the past three years and the Septembers have been statistically...

Checks the boxes, and looks better than the conversions.

Maybe they amended the DP and added some height 😂

Does anyone else find it annoying that the city's DP map displays all DPs of all kinds including deck relaxations and signs etc? It needs the ability to filter on categories. Like this.

It's a new style of developments they're doing these days. More floors for your money!

I forgot that it was my photo lol. I was going to ask you what type of drone you were using. 🤣

I posted this in the photo section, but thought I'd post it here to seeing as it's a comparison take. And another one that compares only 2008 to 2024 seeing as they are taken from the exact same angle.

Yeah, I think part of it is the angle and distance, so it's not an apples to apples comparison, per se, but the first thing I noticed when looking at pic showing EV was the lack of greenery. You can see in the background of the pic, there is a lot more greenery on the west side of DT.

Ah yes, that's right. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Similar pic to the one in the Scotia Place thread, but showing the CBD and Beltline. We desperately need more development in that SE quadrant of the core, but one striking positive is the core (from the east side at least) no longer looks like a bunch of office buildings with a smattering of...

Unfortunately nothing on SRC map or DMAP, but I kind of recall a developer buying the land and submitting a land use back maybe 6 years ago?

And the realistic version of the rendering, with the telephone poles and the Dodge Ram parking on the cycling lane.

Here's the CBC proposal, there was hope that the former CBC site would be a fair sized project, but ended up a Crown Park style proposal.

Same for Silverstreak in the 70's. There's a road sign in the movie that says 'Welcome to Kansas City' complete with the Calgary tower in the background :) The sign isn't in this still, but this is the shot of the skyline, right after the sign

I remember it being really busy right up to that point, though I can't really recall where the cranes would have been. Here's a blurb from SRC in June 2010, showing 29 cranes in action. Things were just starting to pick up after the 2008 crash, and still a pretty decent 29. The Bow: 4 2 favco...

I'd be curious if there was a count from the late 70's, early 80's. Back in the day on SSP there was a time in August 2008 when there was 75 cranes going at once apparently.
