There are a few of us on here, but St. Cecelia's elementary is trying to fundraise for a new playground.

I went and donated some money yesterday, but if there are some former students, look into it.

I still remember the jingle. Denny Andrew’s American bar, let the good times, let the good times roll!

Has to be the same geniuses who did the Reveen jingle.

Wow. Krispy Kreme and Baskin Robbins in the same year. 15-yo Mike would be pumped. So is current Mike come to think of it.

I can see the old Transalta building being gutted every day out my window. Do they plan on imploding it at some point? Because that would be awesome. Looks like they are taking everything down to just the most basic structure. Any way to see what the plans are for it?

Looks like they are demolishing some of the floors.

Seems it's being taken down in pieces, they've already started.

You are right. That one Northwest column was there yesterday, now it looks pushed in and the level above is drooping. Looks like they bashed it down. Imagine too small a footprint for implosion.

They demolished the much larger tower that was at the corner of 4th street and 17th avenue without doing an implosion, Transalta building will most likely be the same.

I have always wondered what it would look like when the time comes for the Calgary Tower to come down- how will they manage that?

CSB- I once skipped out on a parking ticket(free camping) in Key West because they put the Alberta license plate down as Alabama, and there was no way they were figuring that one out in admin.
