Great pics!

I really like this project, same for the other project at 1450 West Georgia street, definitely some nice improvements.

Looks weird without the round top.

Yeah, goes to show how much a "crown" at the top adds to the look of a building.

Oh man, I remember that old white spot chicken logo. I'm old.

That White Spot is a piece of nostalgia for me. Have been going there since I was a kid. When we fly down we usually get lunch there after we grab our hotel.

It is, and always has been the best White Spot in existence

Robson Street used to be a one way street?

I didn't even notice the top was missing when I was down there on friday :O

There hasn't been a white spot on Robson for a long time.

Let's make Robson(East) & Alberni(West) one way again, with reduced car lanes and an expanded pedestrian sidewalk.

Redo the streetscape, spruce it up

Make Robson Great Again

I like that location, newer one.

But I think you're referring to the true nostalgic White Spot for many British Columbians, Georgia and Cardero

Gonna be a sad day once it's gone

^ yes! That’s the one I was referring to.

Sorry i get my street names mixed up in Vancouver a lot. Don’t spend enough time there unfortunately

I assume the scaffolding was brought down during the windstorm and not because they're stopping the demolition?

Three weeks later. I think there are two floors gone in that time.

Four weeks later. I think there are four more floors gone since December 31st. The pace is picking up a bit.
