But are they ever going to finish the fins on the windows? Lol, I know its a "Design Choice" but a very terrible one at that...

Even the terrible siding on the Crash motel looks more complete now that they replaced the missing pieces.

Loblaws CityMarket opens November 9.

I am surprised there is not an escalator gong down. I assume there is an elevator.

Those are elevator doors to the left of the stairs on the second floor in the photo.

Ice would be IDEAL for the Keg given hotels, parking, big events etc.

I don't know what to make of the Keg, first given they gave up a good spot near Whyte Ave. Also, not to start an age debate (I am past half a century myself), but the crowd there did seem noticeably on the older side.

I don't know if that was just that location or perhaps the best days are in the past for the Keg.

The Keg started going downhill when they were acquired by Cara a few years IMO

Went to the Ice House last night to watch the Oilers game. Place was probably 80% full with people watching the game. The Arkells concert was happening next door, the whole District seemed pretty lively. Ice House seemed to be much more organized than opening week and was super quick to get food and drink out. There was a decent amount of tables in the back right corner that were empty, despite the long line of people waiting to get in. I suppose they need even more staff for those.

Loblaws has a Deli, a Sushi Bar, a Canteen and a Bakery -- very smart layout.

I am under the impression that this will be similar to the Loblaw City Market in the Brewery District.
Guess we'll see for ourselves on Nov 9.

The same owner that closed the fantastic Swiss Chalets in the big buildings on 170th Street and on 51st Ave with REAL mesquite wood to roast the chicken instead of sauce in the gas ovens we see everywhere now. Sad.

We've got ice.

A good reminder that City Hall should maybe invest in an ice plant (there is a room for it)...

When will this rink be open?

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Well with this ice in place it makes sense that there is the future fan zone being prepped east of Rogers Place on the Baccarat site.

If it's open to the public often I can see this skating being very popular this winter.
