Not keeping
up the façade, you say --- call out the by-law officer --- or give them a
carrot? |
|
So
which absentee landlord facades were they complaining about? |
|
Worrisome
too that three of these Councillors own downtown buildings – so they may be
getting close to conflict of interest |
Been here
before |
|
The
Innlander was object of same ‘what will the
tourists think’ argument some years ago – so a façade was put on --- but
inside nothing improved – see earlier for its
facade |

All Native
Basketball Tournament – brings in the crowds to Civic Center complex Northern View has
daily results --- Civic Center huge draw on local taxpayers |
Northern View has online
story for the Library closure: cuts in budget by both City and Province
requires service reductions etc |
|
|
|
|
Civic Center
needs to cut back ‘services’ too |
|
See my previous where I show
the Civic Center actually complex costs taxpayers about 3.2M$ per year ---
info left shows only one segment --- but as I said earlier: we need better
info for the discussion – and unlike the library there is no public oversight
of facility other than City Council |
|
The
Red bar is the monthly Average temperature and the blue is the actual number While
January 2010 is the warmest of the series it was held ‘down’ by a cold spell
at beginning of the month – unlike January 2006; unfortunately the online
data does not give January 2005
which was the last El Nino |
Looking at
El Nino year & January temperatures |
|
|
|
Above
I have used ‘Heating Degree days’ from the Weather Office
web site – shows there has been a gradual cooling till 2008 for January
temperatures and rapid warming since |
Shrub in
flower outside Zellers on 2nd Avenue |
|
Strange
to see flowers this early – but Snow Drops
out too |
|
|
Freighter in
background and Cosco on RR tracks |
|
Is
this the Garv Prem? Need binoculars – if so it is here for wheat |
|
|
I will return to this

City has sold the
old CN Via station – but was not finalized until January 2010 --- Too late
for the hoped for Via station transfer which has presumably renewed its lease
for 3 years at present location --- Some suggest ‘delay’ in transfer ‘caused’
by City – more later – see March
2009 where rezoning—and declared heritage
site – More later
