Winnipeg is a very underrated city and a much better comparison to Edmonton than Calgary.

 

[David A]

I agree underrated. However, I hope the point that nice things are developed or built there and here, not just in Calgary, Vancouver or Toronto does not get missed.

If I heard things right, I was told by someone at the Icehouse that The Banquet is now closed during lunch and won't open until 4 pm.

Not surprised at all. I think they’re close to bankruptcy

Banqueruptcy

But no, that's disappointing. While I've only gone a couple times, I quite enjoyed it overall, and the concept is needed in Ice District, as it at least has some entertainment options.

Went for a work event once where we had the whole space rented out. Tried to activate the bowling and they wanted us to pay an extra 90$ per lane. Never went back

From an optimistic perspective, maybe it gives the Canadian Brewhouse a chance to focus on just doing one thing instead of having to manage that whole complex and several concepts. I found there wasn't a ton of differentiation between their venues there and was confused on where I needed to go.

Which bank is licking its chops to get in that space?

 

[SMayo]

Banquet is so hidden on that second floor that they've been doomed to fail since day 1.

Would a modern movie theatre have worked in retrospect? Better off not having it? Other?

 

[johnnyboy]

I think CINEMA is a Finnish bank... we just didn't realize it at the time

Ahh 2014
When the Stantec Tower was nothing more than a Proposal
When the Staples stood right next to Offices

When the Bow was still the Tallest building in Western Canada

It’s easy to be negative about the state of many things but that’s a photo that’s also a reminder that sometimes you have to zoom out a bit to see the progress.
