I drove by for the first time yesterday to take a look, and my goodness, they looked like real people sitting down on the bench. Very realistic. Haven't been up close, but hope the color doesn't fade easily.

Indeed... amazingly lifelike.

Thank you. It would be my pleasure if you did. Ian’s right, your former brother-in-law did a great job. The first night I saw them I thought they might be a couple of homeless people drinking late. It’s only when Ian posted here did I realize they were actually statues.

@Sonog great, great photos!

I think the skyline view in that second photo of Keith's won't be changing much until the ICE District Tower BG starts construction (which likely won't happen until the podium is completed at the very earliest). When completed though, it should fill in the gap nicely between Manulife and Stantec.

BMO and Falcon...

Rogie · #**5069** Posted **Mar 31, 2020, 10:59 PM**

Is there any coordination of the different led colours among the buildings and bridges?

Edmonton looking great in those photos above.

What didn’t you notice about 99st ?
I just realized there is no 98st downtown.

kcantor · #**5071** Posted **Apr 1, 2020, 7:07 PM**

i think what he didn't realize prior was that 99th street didn't connect to jasper avenue.

98 street dead ended north of the tracks at 105 avenue. it's a "side effect" of trying to merge/integrate edmonton's two different grids.

That must be from the early 70s, judging from the construction.

Haha...great shot. Reminds me of my dad. Busting perps back in the day.

Long story short...he got me into this. But after doing this for one year.....Enough lol. It's a very tough career. Back to school for me
