^ Looking at the post, you aren't actually linking to the images themselves (no extension ... .jpg or whatnot, at the end of each link).

^ That's not the issue (URLs don't need a file extension, the type is derived from the MIME type in the HTTP headers); the issue seems to be that I grabbed the photo links before I had actually shared them in a Google Photos album. Once they are shared publicly, the link actually changes and the old "private" link stops working.

I've gone through an updated the earlier posts with the new image URLs.

This image worries me a little. I thought that there was suppose to be at-grade access to 104th Ave between the Winter Garden and the Delta. Looks like it is fixed, and therefore, will be a wall on the other side too.

EDIT:

OK, it isn't that bad I suppose seeing how open it will be on the west side, but still....:

^ That big pedestrian-only space on 102 St. and 103A Ave. makes up for it too.

The residential portion yes. The wider footprint I believe is the mid tower roof atop the office portion. Image not inserted due to high res: http://www.rogersplace.com/wp-content/up...-tower-top-edited_high-res-stamped-2.jpg

Johnstone Walker, I never heard of that department store in my life, and I was born in 1976.

I wonder what the store was like?

Noticed a new sign for zone parking on 104street and signs with black bags over them all along 104. I guess the parking meters are getting taken down.

Someone please tell me that they are finally getting rid of the 20th century coin meters and replacing with the Calgary style street parking system?
