Oh, it was most certainly real-time texting to those who worked the railroads and the ships, who often had a dedicated telegraph worker.

That space introduces all kinds of wicked opportunities.

SHOFEAR · #**5770** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 2:49 PM**

Where on 51st ave is Sun building? The only thing I can think of is the empty feild between the old arbys and the global studio.

^ that makes more sense. With all the centrally located apartment condo buildings under construction I'm wondering if we're close to a saturation point with that type of product. I'd doubt there is any movement on the Encore until the Ultima is much further along

I just don't understand these money stores. Is it so hard to get a bank account?

I think a few of us are going to look into this one a little more carefully...
-------
910.9 (JAMSC) Jasper Avenue Main Street Commercial Zone

1. General Purpose

The purpose of this Zone is to provide a Zone that accommodates at-grade, predominantly retail commercial, office and service Uses suitable for the Downtown’s Main Street, Jasper Avenue
-----

Pawn is a discretionary use, but is it suitable for 'Downtown's Main Street'....??? I would say not.

For people who have destroyed their credit rating (or never had any) and have been getting all their cash under the table doing grunt work their whole lives, the answer is "yes".

I knew a woman (only casually

)who was an exotic dancer for the last 6 or 7 years, and she made lots of money, but it was all cash. She bought everything with cash. She didn't own anything, didn't have a credit card (never needed one), and when she got a new job she needed direct deposit, but it took a good month of asking, groveling, and looking around to get a bank account. The only bank that finally give her an account was Servus Credit Union. Before that, she had to cash all her cheques at Money Mart. And she wasn't the only one of her friends who did (not all of them were strippers, either - ha ha).

Anyway, great story...

Harrison · #**5776** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 4:19 PM**

A pawn shop AND a payday loan place do not belong on Jasper Avenue at all, let alone together in the same building. There's already way too many payday loan places on 124 St, sad that people still see downtown as the right market for one. Even worse that they think a pawn shop would be able to survive as well on Edmonton's premier street...

Overlays are great & all, but it seems like they get ignored a lot. We have a no new liquor store & pawn shop overlay on 118th ave (the existing ones are allowed to stay) but regularly, they try to get new ones in. Then it's a fight.

We always win, but our language is a lot more specific than yours

Coldrsx · #**5778** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 4:27 PM**

^You language is much stronger.

Got the DO's name and number, phone call time.

Hallsy's Toupee · #**5779** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 4:37 PM**

Who would actually approve that pawn shop? City council?

Coldrsx · #**5780** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 4:43 PM**

Council approves zoning (ie. downtown plan with JAMSC), DO's approve development applications/changes of use etc.
