The second floor is home to the Loose Moose Theatre Company so it also serves as a performing arts venue.
If one is looking for an authentically Calgary experience with a zany cast of characters, then the Crossroads would be the place to go, but it isn't a touristy place. The ambience is not hip. The surroundings are bleak, although the new cop shop is a nice looking building.
Yes it would be nice to have a market right downtown or Beltline or Mission, but that isn't the present reality.
Actually there have been a handful of those older industrial buildings in that area bought and renovated nicely repurposed for office space .. Which is pretty cool to see

Touristy? Probably not .. But interesting nonetheless
