The Gresham Block above (and the kitty corner old blue 1920s dance hall) are two exceptions, no idea why when the Alberta Mainstreet program came through with grants to clean up the facades those two owners didn't take advantage.

Hmmm. this rings a bell for me, but just can't think of where it might be.

I'll take you there if you want!

Ok, I'll offer a description and see if anyone can provide address/streetview/photo:

There is a huge old tree trunk in our city with all the tree's branches cut off. Where the branches once were, now there are 3 gargoyles who like to dress for the weather.

I remember it now. I kept thinking it was somewhere in the Southeast, but just couldn't remember where I'd seen it.

That's that house in Mount Royal isn't it?

Bumpity bump - where, or where in Calgary would these 5 painted jersey barriers might be?

Northski · #73 Posted **Feb 10, 2015, 2:35 AM**

Center a ST AND 36 ave ne

speedog · #74 Posted **Feb 10, 2015, 3:11 AM**

Yupp, there's at least another 6 painted up jersey barriers scattered about the community of Highland Park - so much nicer to look at then regular jersey barriers.

Now I promise this one is going to be tougher - drop a link to the Google Maps location where you think this tunnel might be.

Please note it's not a sewer line/tunnel or anything like that - it's completely accessible by someone on foot and it will be wet/soggy/muddy at certain times of the year just by the nature of where it's located although I've never seen water actually flowing through it (just pooling). Cliff swallows also build their nests inside of this tunnel which is about 110 meters in length...

Under 10 St NW in Confederation Park?

Nope that one is only about 42 meters long and has a bicycle path that goes through it - the tunnel I want people to find most definitely doesn't have a bicycle path going through it. I've also never seen any cliff swallow nests in the one you've identified.

Here's a pic of a large human head sculpture in someone's backyard - the sculpture must be 7-8 feet tall. Post up the address where you think this might be in Calgary.

Goldeneye head is gone, anyone know if it moved elsewhere in the city?

Nope, that one is only about 18 meters long and it also has a bicycle path through it plus it's almost 19km away from the one I've got you all looking for. Note that there aren't too many tunnels that a person can walk through in Calgary that don't have a bicycle path through them and that are over 110 meters in length - this might be the only one in fact.
