I was worried that once tenants move in and all have their shades drawn it would look bad with the very clear glass, but I'm happy you can barely see it!

Ha - I've had that thought at least once a day for the last 35 years since it was capped.
The answer is - the skyline would look superior with it.

Why would you recommend that one. It's $800.00!!

Here's a good cheap camera that will do the job for $79.00.

That's not a construction site. It used to be a gas station so now the site is sitting for a while.

Yep, was a gas station as early as 1979, and still was in 2002, gone by 2005.

Perfect site for a mixed use project.

Great shots by 1ajs. Overcast skies are not always the best, but it does allow for a totally different perspective. Thanks for contributing! Hope you enjoyed your visit to Calgary.

That site has been empty for about 10 years or so. There used to be a gas station on the lot.
