It was just a grassy area along Pasqua St. Not sure what they're doing, but they were digging a hole right beside the building yesterday.

Maybe they are going to enlarge Sobey's? I haven't seen the actual hole... but I can't imagine there being enough frontage there for another store due to the exit from Pasqua.

Regina people aren't really big on tacos. This should have been seen when Taco Bell tried to merge with the KFC locations and failed miserably.

Open a donut shop, burger place or other fatty food establishment and they'll be set! Sad, but true.

Taco Del Mar does alright near the university. Attracts the late night student crowd.

Is Metro moving from downtown or just opening a second location?

Their website says "coming soon Regina North location"

http://metropetmarket.ca/?page_id=114

I would imagine that they will remain in the downtown area. Great store btw!

I agree, great store. Very helpful people. This is a local business we should all try to support.

I miss Harveys, I'm hoping 5 guys can replace that good burger feeling if it opens up and is good.

I'll continue to shop at Metro, looking forward to the new store opening. Also, some issues with the building going up behind them, but won't get in to it. There is more to this than just saying they are against it.

Moose Jaw River Street Development

Does anybody have any information about the huge theme hotel and street redevelopment on River Street in Moose Jaw across from the new Multiplex? Plans? Renderings? Status? is this thing real, or just a pipe dream? I have seen their website, but the images on it are small and hard to interpret...

To me it's remarkable (not the good kind of remarkable) how the city of Regina could replace (nearly) every one of its bus stop signs, and within a year the city has a new logo and the signs are outdated.

There are some renders and info on the other developments thread. Also on this site there are large renders.

Agreed on the logos. Rebranding and re-logoing is a gigantic waste of money. You only build a brand through time. Redeciding on a slogan and graphic for yourself every five to ten years does nothing to build that brand in the long run.
That's not really the point I wanted to make. My point was that transit should have known the city was planning a rebrand, and held off on the signs. Doesn't one hand know what the other is doing?

Fair enough. But if you give more than a passing thought to branding, then you know this is a bad way to go about it. These are brand new signs. They'll be up for at least a decade.

Furthermore, I'm of the belief that transit needs its own brand, distinct from the city's overall brand. They had that in the 1980s with the bus symbol... but then someone decided that transit shouldn't be advertised differently than any other city department, with the City of Regina umbrella logo.

I'm surprised Lee Valley Tools hasn't opened an outlet in Regina yet. Harbour landing might be a desirable spot for them one day.
