I definitely didn't know that. I stand corrected, thank you.

Well, I dunno if you're asking this, because it's been discussed.

There's no market nationally for grocery expansion, never mind downtown wpg

Crane is due mid/late July, I heard. As far as 2021, well, REIT's are conservative bunches. Hopefully sooner.

As we well know – winters are the biggest factor.

Let's face it: with online grocery delivery becoming a huge thing, it's even going to further diminish the demand for a grocery store. It's not like there aren't options that are close by. You have two Safeway stores- one in St. B and one in Osborne Village. Plus, you have Family Foods next to the Don. It's not like there isn't any access to a grocery store downtown.

Society is reverting back to the old days. Get your milk delivered, get your ice delivered.

Not news papers or mail though. Sheesh, what am I cave man?!

Fixing a damaged roof would be far more expensive than a couple truckloads of OSB.

It's official, 300 Main is beginning to rise up!

It's not wasted, that's how it gets done

Can we update this to under construction yet?

GrammarSlammerBammer · #**2335** Posted **Jun 29, 2018, 7:35 PM**

Why is no one working today? There isn't a single person on site. Do they not work on Fridays before long weekends, or the day after an overnight rain?

Ya they were working on the columns last week when I went by the site.

Just the one column rising above grade so far...they haven't done much to this one since I took the pic. Right now the focus is on the elevator shafts...a couple of wooden forms are rising up. Maybe they are preparing this area for the crane base?
