Is that a movie about Oiler alumni?

It's a step in the right direction. The inside barely changed, but the exterior character is more integrated into things. It's less of a siloed building now.

Are they still looking at this December to break ground?

[Bunk]

I’ve been happy with the incremental (yet important) improvements to each of the building interfaces in the approval process.

Eh next time you rub shoulders with Treliving or Darryl, tell them they should rename 12th Ave Jarome Iginla Ave, but leave the 12 on there too

I still really like it and I'm glad they are still working on improving it.

I'm sorry, 'grille' is not a word, please have it removed from the renderings, thanks.

[Bunk]

I think that most people's experience on the exterior of the building will be this, I'd say that's a win. Which is why I feel once the nucleus of the district builds, this will end up being a far more beloved building than the Saddledome - even though it takes perhaps a less pretty picture from Scotsman's hill.

[The Yen Man]

I'm coming around to it. The new renders do help a lot. Still wish there was a bit more glass to it, but the silver wall now looks pretty good. Still a lot nicer than Edmonton's from the outside. Theirs already looks a bit dated, and will not age well 10 years later.

Artwork on the east side should be a statue of Jim Peplinski in his underwear accepting the Stanley Cup or a giant red ring.

My immediate thoughts:

"I don't know, where do you want to eat?"

"Please just pick something..."

“Don’t you care where we eat?”

“No.”

“How can you not care? Don’t you have an opinion?”

“Fk it!”

I am quite certain that this statue is called "Jim Peplinski In His Underwear Accepting The Stanley Cup."

Some people just don't get art.
