You're a beautiful person Ken, thank you for helping to save our history for future generations

Excellent work, Ken! and thank you for puting trust in me to keep your secret vis-a-vis the Ring Houses until you had time to complete your agreement with the University of Alberta. Your vision for the "art campus" is brilliant and I am ready and willing to help in whatever ways may prove useful going forward.

Ken Cantor for Mayor of Edmonton! j/k

It might be a bit early to say, but any idea where these Ring Houses will be relocated? I'm guessing either The Quarters or in the now-abandoned Galleria site. Lord knows there's plenty of parking lots to choose at either site.

I have an idea but I think it is up to Ken to release news as negotiations are cemented.

Huh? Not likely. This could well be catalyst project in the Quarters or along the Ribbon of Steel or expansion of the arts area in Old Strathcona or Fort Edmonton, or even tied into Blatchford. These and more options IN Edmonton.

This is amazing news, thanks Ken. I can't wait to see where these houses will find their new home.

240 as well i heard? Thats a huge parcel. Could hold a few thousand people potentially. Will be interesting to see what they do. It's pretty far from south campus with few local stores.
