I just finished deleting about 50 posts of garbage. It's as if nobody here is capable of posting something intelligent. You guys are supposed to be adults, this isn't kindergarten.

Not sure why my post got deleted in the mix. Anyhow...reposting it.

This is why YWCA has moved to Inglewood. Great Gulf purchased the old YWCA. Below is a rendering of the project. Projected start time is late 2019 or early 2020.

Thanks D-M! The picture doesn’t show up here but I saw it via your link. Definitely an improvement to that block!

It’s called Highcliffe. There’s a thread over at SRC with all the info and more renderings.

You used to get mad anytime someone posted a link to SRC, and now you’re posting a link to SRC...

It used to bother me when people posted stuff for SRC, but I’m spending most of my time there now, and liking it a lot to be honest. I wouldn’t have posted it but someone had asked.

But it's such an aseptic place, I guess it's great for those who don't like having a bit of color or spice in their life.

You’ve mentioned ‘color’ and ‘spice’ several times, but I can only assume you’re referring to content like those 50 posts that got deleted, because that’s the only color and spice, and reason I still come here. I don’t mind that stuff as it’s good entertainment. Yes, there isn’t any of that at SRC, but that’s where I go for intelligent informative discussion. I’ll take intelligence Hoover Trainwreck entertainment anytime.

There are other places if this forum bothers you so.

On topic, I am a bit surprised at the size of the new metal structured place going up, it appears it will be the new big kid on the block.

Also, a row of five lots were raized/cleared on the north side of 23rd Avenue NW backing out on to Confederation Park (east from 14th Street) - it will be most interesting to see what goes up there.

Factcat’s not going to be happy about this lol

PS don’t forget those sunset pics

I'm glad I'm not using the port-a-potty. It looks like it could tip over at any time, and it would suck to be in it when it does.

So apparently Bad Grizzly and O-tacular have been suspended. I'm not surprised, and frankly, it was overdue for both of them.

Actually it was Octacular, grizzly, suburgatory and Jcyycca, but yeah, it was long overdue for all 4 of them. Otacular has already been suspended a couple of times, you’d think he’d know better. I’m surprised it took this long to suspend Grizzly and Suburgatory.

Octacular and Badgrizzly like to argue, I think it's the only reason they show up to this thread.

Fishthebow · #**1957** Posted **Jul 24, 2018, 8:49 PM**

Another mansion to grace Crescent Road.

Yah, would be pretty shitty.

Fishthebow · #**1959** Posted **Jul 24, 2018, 8:51 PM**

Has anyone seen a design?

But Otacular and Bad grizzly are the ones that always get the gong show rolling.
