NRG, thanks as always as always for the pics! I especially appreciate it since I can't view the webcam (my operating system doesn't get along too well with Java  ). |

Fresh off the SD card!
The white brick building on the left is Clyde Cooper's Barbecue, where I ate today. Some kinda good!
Just east of the RBC Plaza is the site of the Edison, where groundwork is in process.

Why, Thank you!
If I shot photos as well as Clyde's does 'cue, I'd be a regular Ansel Adams.  |

I was, initially, caught up in the prospect of living downtown and the convenience associated with it. I now get the impression that they are overdeveloping condos in the downtown area and I think that is very dangerous. I enquired about the RBC development very close to day one and was told it was sold out but they were taking back up reservations with $2000.
I read an article recently that was talking about some condos being unsold in other developments and if that is true where is everyone coming from tho fill these new units?
Don't want to be a naysayer because I do support the development of downtown and I do like the way it is now as opposed to 10 years ago but I do believe it has to be controlled otherwise it could implode. I'm also not sure how long the novelty of existing in a macro environment lasts , living, working and playing in the same area.
I think it's easy to live in a giant city with everything within one's reach but not so much in a mini version.
I'd appreciate anyone else's views
