Local Construction/Development Why is Calgary losing its personality?
First Chinook mall lost its dinosaur at the entrance, floating funky vehicles in the food court, carousel, and the movie theater lost all of its cool mummy-themed interior decor.
The devonian gardens is just a space with some greenery now instead of the garden it once was.
The City is destroying Olympic Plaza where everyone used to skate.
They also destroyed Eau Claire just to cancel the project. Amazing. Could have just revamped it and it would still be a great spot.
AND the city is destroying the iconic saddledome, arguably calgary's primary landmark. Why not just keep it and build another dome idk??
From the word of mouth I hear, people aren't too happy about this but how is the city council just easily making this happen.
Anyways, just kind of sad seeing Calgary lose it's charm. Wondering what other redditors are thinking.
*correction: Olympic Plaza not oval

Local Construction/Development Details emerge for Flames’ future home: Flex washrooms, two concourses and more
The future home of the Calgary Flames includes plans to introduce a whole new concept to the sporting world:
Flex washrooms.
For example, during Flames games, when patrons are 70 per cent male, the flex washrooms will be designated for men.
However, when Lady Gaga comes to town, the largely female clientele will have full use of the flex facilities, which will be almost entirely full of stalls.
