I wonder what time zones the clocks will show besides Edmonton.

This is great to see. My favourite coffee in the city, though oddly the places that serve Ace (Coffee Bureau, Lock Stock, RIP La Boule) make a better coffee than Ace's own staff do. But that chocolate bomboloni is a top 3 treat in yeg.

Walked by at lunch. They were bumping. I do think they should invest in some kind of proper queueing system (e.g. rope barriers) because the customer lineup was jutting right out in the common area space and was a bit annoying to veer around during the busy lunch rush. Looks great, otherwise, though.

Great now I can stop by when my wife is in Vandenburgs.

I don't know if the space on the east side is meant to be for queueing or waiting, but it seems a bit tight. And if so it would also make sense rather than being all glassed in, there could be an exit on that side.

ACE Roasters at noon hour today. I love how they kept the tables outside of the shop. There is an empty CRU behind ACE.

Yes, it is good how they kept the tables outside. With all the people returning to the office, it is often quite busy now when I go by. I am surprised another retail space or two hasn't been filled yet

On this day in 1931, Edmonton's premier hotel was offering a Sunday dinner for 50 cents.

God, what did we do to our downtown. What did NA cities in general do to their downtowns. We could've at least mandated that skyscrapers have pedestrian-scale street frontages but no, we got windswept plazas and empty faces instead

^^^ Definitely worth reproducing -- maybe on CPKC land in Old Strathcona.

I thought you were already talking to CPKC about that or am I confusing it with something else?

The Edmonton way is to beautifully rebuild period correct buildings that exist/existed, but place them in Fort Edmonton instead of downtown for some reason.
