Geez, I'm surprised they were able to get a construction permit for this...

I posted about it in the Calgary section several months ago, because I had no idea it actually existed and I didn't believe it was in Calgary. Every response I got was "Yep, West Hillhurst!" basically Just next to Kensington.
