Yeah it seems like Famoso is dying. Love Pizza I never got the hype of, though maybe the time I went years ago was an off night for them.

I was just at that Famoso location and I fear you’re right. Half empty tables. Poor service. Quality not the greatest. Still a steady stream of Skip and Uber drivers but kinda sad. This was a local success story but feels like it’s winding down after the original owners sold the business. Sepp’s is my favourite go-to now.

This is the onigiri restaurant I referenced in the Food and Dining thread.

Love Pizza really went downhill in recent years. They used to be great, but the quality fell off a cliff and the results are now speaking for themselves.

Where are those basketball courts?

It's a laydown site for the LRT for the next 4-5 years. If there was basketball courts it would be after that.

I have posted about this before (I checked and last time was January 2023) but construction on this area of Jasper has been completed for almost 2 years exactly and this temporary light pole is still planted in the corner of Jasper and 109. Maybe @Greenspace knows the reason, but why oh why does this city continue to suck at finishing projects downtown.

No different than the missing new benches on the south side of Jasper that got removed for utility work in 2019 that have never returned, nor the granite/pavers replaced or the completed 'tusks' that were an absolute cluster with Philips et al to the point where the COE simply gave up, called it a day and left conduit terminations duct taped or void of anything.
It's all still asphalt patches where utility work was done that 'are to be attended to within 2 years' on its last, last multi-million dollar rehab.
Few give a shit, care or have accountability for the work.

I wonder if there is any dedicated person or assigned responsibility for dealing with these sort of things, or does the buck just get passed back and forth and ignored by everyone?

^ Probably the latter. With government, if it's not fully within one department's scope, and there are no political consequences of inaction, then the go-to option is almost always "shirk responsibility".

Did you 311 it? Sometimes you get a call-back about things like that (I have).

What section of Jasper were those on? And which tusks are you referring to?

A little birdie told me that the Rolling Tales comic store in the SW (near Terwillegar) is opening a new location in downtown, specifically near the Alberta Craft Gallery on 106 St.

Good news, will fill the gap that the Wonder Harbour closure left.
