Thanks KF. If you'd like to clean up that list of tallest too, it's a mess... so many things that shouldn't be on there... or the otehr way around too. No idea about true height of Icon I and II???

Kevin_foster · #**7485** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 8:29 PM**

I think they are 92m/30 floors and 112m/35 respectively.

That's what I put anyways.

Daveography · #**7486** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 8:50 PM**

Wow, another day of C2E pissing me off on an enormous level. I don't know why I bother sometimes.

240glt · #**7487** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:03 PM**

It's pretty irritating over there as of late. I think it's a victim of its' own popularity. So much whining and complaining about nothing.

Kevin_foster · #**7488** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:04 PM**

Wish Edmonton had some kick ass podiums...
An idea I threw together recently

Some raw images:

and perhaps a tower on top? Just plunk one down.. doesnt need to be special!

Daveography · #**7489** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:07 PM**

I'm sorry, but it's true.

I ughed at the vinyl siding on my brother in law's brand new house out in Leduc... but he paid $310,000 for it. I'd rather buy a $310,000 house with vinyl siding on it than to not be able to afford a house at all. Try to keep that in perspective... I love the west coast but I wonder how I'll old I'll be until I can afford even a townhouse.

Edmonton has some pretty impressive buildings going up in the core, but really not every business can afford to build impressive buildings when a simple utilitarian building that serves the purpose quite well will do.

Using the URL as links let me see the pictures, and then they started showing up embedded as well. Not sure why, exactly, but that seemed to work.

Interesting design, tower is really slender but I like the design of it.

Daveography · #**7496** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:34 PM**

^ Weird, I get a 404 on those links too.

Stoopid internets.

Yeah, not only that, but when I clicked on one of those links, the IT guy came to my office and punched me.

Kevin_foster · #**7498** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:51 PM**

Tower is just fodder

anyways, what the - picasa...

Kevin_foster · #**7499** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:52 PM**

edit: internets be damned!

oiler-dude · #**7500** Posted **Aug 11, 2009, 9:54 PM**

Ah, it's on a Picasa album so could it be possible that if you don't have a Google account, you can't view them?

Links work for me, and I'm signed into my gmail...that's the only thing I could think of.
