Some interesting stuff is on the way soon. But yes, I would say Calgary is about 50 years from having that Dundas feel.

I know that - but I was responding to the post that said the volume of pedestrian traffic at Robson and Granville is about the same as Y&D.

Yes, it's awesome!

What a quiet charm!

I'm a fan of that kind of architecture, and really proud to see it in our country

Not the best quality, but a great angle.

Your shots are great. And, apparently, you get Newfoundland weather.

It's been pretty gray the last couple of days, with rain, turning snow and back to rain. Can't make up its mind!
