As Wormius always says "a little crack smoke never hurt nobody". In fact you are a piece of crap for complaining about it.

They should just tear that building down, have some sort of voodoo ritual to scare away whatever haunts that location and start fresh.

And throw the remnants on the grave of whoever designed access there with the 4 way stop. Just awful. I have no doubt that factors into the revolving door of restaurants that have gone under. So visible and yet so inaccessible.

We need to do that with the retail spot on the NE corner of Memorial and 10th Street NW too.

I remember when you could get in over by the Tims from NB deerfoot. Still had to go thru that 4 way to get out though, but it wasnt as bad back then.

I really like the design of the new Olympic Plaza. Seems much more intimate and focused in its design approach. That large pavilion on the east side of the plaza could be quite a desirable location for events depending on how it ends up being used.

I think the 'voodoo' is that its a nightmare to get in and out of.

Not to mention the record number of drug deals that will go down there.

I apologize for all of the times you, or others, had to be naloxoned from second-hand crack smoke at Olympic Plaza. Must have been traumatic.

I do recall the couple of days when they tried to improve that 4 way, get people to use it differently (cant exactly recall what they tried, made a 2 way stop or banned turns...something stupid anyways) and it was worse. So they gave up on fixing it.

Everything they have done has made that place worse.

And what annoys me most is that it was a 'planned' shopping area. This is the culmination of all of their great planning.

And its not gone well.

That's probably the standard most people use for deciding whether a spot is desirable for recreational purposes - is my death/near death likely.

Fun fact, 130th AVE SE is further north than Midnapore!
