HAHAA.. I noticed that today.. i have a great view of it from my window.. and i am miles away

I saw that from the Dartmouth Sportsplex today. lol The views from that building are amazing!

I work right across the street from the Sportsplex on the eleventh floor of Metropolitan Place, the views from there are pretty sweet too. I suppose generally anywhere on the Dartmouth waterfront is a great place to view Halifax. I also recommend the NSCC Waterfront Campus. To anyone that hasn't been there yet, it's easily accessible to the public, and the views are amazing! Bring your camera!

Maybe they're just going to wrap the whole building in green plastic.

And I was down in front of the NSCC to watch the Parade of Sail. It was such an amazing view.

Yep.. its time to call in the heavys.. a little arm-twistin'

LOL

Jonovision · #**550** Posted **Jul 28, 2009, 12:04 PM**

LOL All I was told was that it would that the plans would be made public.

I was driving Gottingen yesterday and they have scaffolding erected on the building that has sat as a plywood shell for the past few years. Hopefully something will happen with this.

I also noticed some digging going on up on Spring Garden right next to Smitty's. Couldn't get a close look so no idea what they are doing.

Ok so here's a potentially wild stab in the dark...

is the project to expand the Metro Centre as part of a potential deal to bring the Coyotes here for 5 games??? Just curious given that the time line for the Ice Edg group to submit a formal bid is within a week or so. It occured to me given that the other potential site is currently expanding their rink from a similar size to the Metro Centre to something like 14,000 seats.

Just a crazy thought! :-)

Maybe the NDP Gov. is going to build a stadium? "The Dexter Dome"

Even better maybe they have decided to build a new arena and convention centre together to replace the MC and WTCC.

Jonovision · #**554** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 2:52 AM**

Nope. I don't think its that wild and crazy. lol

worldlyhaligonian · #**555** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 6:17 AM**

Something to do with the Salter Street development? or The Alexander maybe?

Takeo · #**556** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 11:44 AM**

Maybe it will be a 6 flags amusement park on the Cogswell lands! Oh please let it be a 6 flags.

Its a new submission, therefore wouldn't be either of those.

hoser111 · #**558** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 2:50 PM**

40 story, in the likeness of a lighthouse, built on top of Citadel Hill, inside the ramparts so as not to obstruct viewplanes?

Doggard · #**559** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 3:42 PM**

third bridge, maybe? or tunnel?

Dmajackson · #**560** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 3:46 PM**

I think we've pretty much guessed everything possible

I put my money on a redevelopment of a lot somewheres on the Peninsula like the Waterfront Warehouse, Bishops Landing parking lot, Shed/Pier 22, Robie at Pepperrell, etc.

Quick question though. Is the lot Downtown or elsewhere?
