In the nostalgia, things people miss thread there was a lot of talk about the Palliser Tower complex and how it used to be a huge passenger rail station with shops and retail and the movie theatre where the Empire Strikes Back premiered in Calgary, etc.
I worked there for years and it was a desolate ghost town brutalist place in recent times.
Lately, the Palliser One tower was recladded and it has been announced a lot of it is being converted to residential. I also just saw this article about taking over a lot of the empty record room space and turning it into an urban farm. That's pretty cool.
