Yup, the plaza and lobby is open now. It is awesome to be able to walk right up and look up at that big concave side.

The only time we'll see the inside of the Bow unless we get a job with Cenovus or EnCana:

I had dinner with someone who will be moving into the Bow and she doesn't like the flat roof of the Bow. She thinks it should have had a pointy roof like the Chrysler Building in NYC so I rolled my eyes on behalf of everyone at SSP.


2 hours after this shot, we had a huge hail storm.

^Yeah, it would be really nice to see lit up at night. I can't imagine them not lighting it up.
