I stand to be corrected but was this not (in it's earlier life) The Casbah night club back in the late 70's? Quite sure I recall being there a few times.

According to Colliers, it was built in 1926 as a warehouse.

Apparently there is 1930's picture of it at SPL, but the link is broken. MacDonald's Consolidated warehouse

Most of the larger buildings along 1st Ave were built as warehouses because the CN rail yards spanned the entire length of 1st.

This would be a nice addition to the Warehouse District.

Sounds like the lease has been signed by a local coffeeshop. Don't know if it's going to move or be a second location. Should bring the area some needed energy at ground level.

^ Good stuff!

The construction crane for the Children's Hospital is going up today. Watch on the webcam: http://www.earthcam.net/projects/childrenshospitalofsaskatchewan/

It looks like in the background there's a base for another crane - will there be two?

am surprised you can remember the seventies but yes it was the Casbah I think something else before that owned by Don Yip who owned Yips and Jacks on second.

The last plan I heard was two cranes at the Children's Hospital.

May have been mentioned before not sure. But the old Mint space on Broadway has signage starting to go up for a new pub called the Burning Beard. Looking forward to a new pub space on the block as the Yard and Flagon has continued to decline in quality in my opinion.

Anyone know what is going in at Taylor and Clarence where the Tempo gas station used to be? They remediated the site over the last couple months and now I see a LEASED sign up.

You're correct. Two cranes are up.

That's great news! Broadway nightlife really needs a shot in the arm.

Anyone heard any news or rumours on what else might be going into Meadows Market? I have read there is a lot of speculation going around but have heard nothing myself. Only thing I have heard of is a possible theatre.

It's a cycle studio.

Could you explain the workings of a cycle studio? Music studio, I understand. Yoga studio as well for that matter. But cycle studio?

I thought cycling was primarily an outdoor activity. Indoor spin classes? Bike shop? The website doesn't add a lot of clarity.

I'm not sure exactly of the form that Ryde is going to take, but here is a good overview of the story behind YYC Cycle in Calgary. Perhaps Ryde will offer an experience similar to this Calgary studio? I guess we'll see.
