Even more disturbing. And yeah, I thought it looked familiar, thanks! It sorta looks like a moonified Mike Myers, doesn't it?

On the agenda: Budget adjustment, transit garage, community halls
This week, council is set to make some adjustments to the final year of the 2023-2026 capital budget, examine options for building the southeast transit garage to its original scope, and hear an update on the state of community league facilities.
...one new funding request is for $600,000 to demolish the Koermann Block, one of the few buildings along The Armature, which the city had listed for sale for affordable housing. The report said the building needs to be demolished immediately due to critical structural failures, safety hazards, and ongoing liability risks. The interior of the building is collapsed, there are large holes in the roof, and the basement is flooded, posing a risk to unauthorized occupants, the city said. The building is listed on the inventory of historic resources, meaning it is deemed to have historic value, but it doesn’t have full legal protection from alteration or demolition. The building is historically significant for its connection to the local German community prior to the First World War.

This is a gem and should be restored and included as a key/cornerstone element of the armature.

Guess who is a huge fan of demolishing heritage buildings?

It looks like there might be work happening at the Lester Allyn house? But it still has the For Sale sign up. The Chenier-Beauchamp residence is moving along.

Yes, workers have been on that site for the past 2-3 weeks now.
