I prefer menz to reflections anyday. God, I remember when it first opened...that makes me old in the gay world lol.
Despite the apartment tower, I dont' think having reflections go where they are proposing is a bad thing. If I look at Whyte Avenue or the Red Mile, there is a huge number of bars in those areas with high density either directly next door or a block or two in behind. I think part of living in an urban area is having these sorts of things next to each other. I lived in Plaza 1881 for a few years and got used to the loud people coming home from downtown - it's all part of living in these areas.
That being said, I'd like to see the block which houses Menz and Company house get redeveloped into a bit higher density (say in the 10 storey range). But if it doesn't, I wouldn't worry about it. Just interesting to see the changes happening in this area...just think 5 years ago there was hardly any interest. Now look at it...
