More from the urban transformation of western West 4th Ave - the Safeway at 4th and Vine is now demolished, rubble mostly cleared:

Has Fränk tänked?

This site on Oak Street has sat with no activity now for almost a year. No sign of demolition, the hoarding looks like it has been hit by cars a couple times. A shame that around ten perfectly livable dwellings were emptied of residents for nothing.

I really don't see how they plan on fitting 10,000 in the New PNE amphitheatre.

Maybe this includes estimated capacity for the lawn?

"Freedom Mobile Arch can hold up to 10,000 spectators, including 6,000 seats under the roof and another 4,000 in a flexible open lawn area in the rear."

Reading anything longer than the headlines is for suckers

RedArbutus · #**1970** Posted **Apr 20, 2026, 8:02 PM**

Suckers and those of us with limited attention spans

The change along Hastings in Hastings-Sunrise is pretty dramatic these days.

SpongeG · #**1973** Posted **Apr 20, 2026, 11:35 PM**

yes, I don't often drive down it but especially where that old 7-11 and shopping plaza was, so different looking now.

Seems to be called Alba

The Anthem project further west is probably well underway as well.

We knew it was coming but that’s the first time renders or details have surfaced, thanks.

I can't find it but it looked like there was LED "string" lighting under the Freedom Mobile Arch roof.

Nice!

Hopefully it has multicolour control à la Hollywood Bowl…
