a strip of bars on 1 St SW. Since it was a Tuesday night, it was fairly quiet. I didn't mind, I didn't get a Big Slice in the back.

Coming soon! The old Old Spaghetti Factory got torn down in the last boom which turned to a bust before anything could be built there. In the nineties it became a large municipal parking garage. Now the new Old SF is the site for a potential office building project by Cadillac Fairview.

The Westin Hotel with the first Starbucks to be located on the corner of 4 Ave and 3 St SW. Soon the other 3 corners will have their own Starbucks. No not really.

Fifth Avenue Place, two 34 storey towers, head office for Imperial Oil - EXXON/Mobil. Since they moved their head office from Toronto, IOL has been squished into several office towers. Maybe they will build a new head office?

in the last boom in the early eighties, this was going to be a small office tower. However, by the time the foundation and underground parking had been completed, the boom was a bust and it sat for at least a decade.
In the mid nineties, this building was completed over the original parking structure. There is retail on the main floor, offices on the second floor, and a residence on the third.

Impatient 4X4 going out of bounds trying to escape as there were 5 lanes merging into one for paving on the causeway - west bound traffic was backed up for kms.
