Paging @nationaltrustca: you can move that entry for Hangar 11 on the #TopTenEndangered list to the "saved" column.

While many tried valiantly over the last few years to find a way to prolong the life of this little #yegheritage gem, the City has proceeded with demolition.
There is a chance to preserve the memory of the Graphic Arts bldg - albeit a teenier version. Learn more and donate! 👇

Since this has come up, here's a 1913 photo looking south along today's Scona Rd. (near 99 St & Sask. Ave.) during streetcar railway construction.
The 9* subject properties are visible on the left.

2021 vs. 1942 • El Mirador / Rochester Apts.
This overlay combines a rare photo of the El Mirador & Rochester Apts. (recently demolished) looking north along 108th Street. The other photo was taken today from a similar location.

In Toronto right now, where the casual, ever-surprising beauty of the place is absolutely built on the fact they didn't tear everything down. Walking like crazy, zigzagging all over, basically every residential street is bubbling with early 20th century architecture. And cats!

It's demo day for the El Mirador. I feel lucky I got to have a peek inside and hear some of its stories way back when. edmontonjournal.com/news/loc…

SUNDAY: the @RiverValleyPark is holding a free nature walk in #yeg’s MacKinnon Ravine. I’m co-hosting this walk w/ Suzanne McAfee; she’s 1 of many #yeg citizens who helped save the ravine from being turned into a freeway in the 1960s & 1970s.

Well, folks, today is the day we've long been dreading. Demolition of the historic El Mirador and Rochester Apartments has begun.

When you get word that the [reportedly] oldest grain elevator in Canada is scheduled to be demolished, you do what any sane person would do -- get in your car and set off on a four day road trip covering nearly 3000km across the prairies...

We're not saying anyone forgot our birthday but we’re relating to Samantha Baker today. Did you know that on Oct. 8, 1904, Edmonton was officially incorporated as a city? #117candles #yeg (Image courtesy of Peel's Prairie Provinces, a digital initiative of @UAlberta Libraries.)

Connecting Edmonton to the stars & 1960 to today, the planetarium continues to captivate. Now fully redeveloped and blending a mix of function with maintaining the original look & feel, we’re thrilled the planetarium will remain a pillar of our communities. #yegHeritage
