Well, when you're writing from the mainland everything south of Duncan is downtown.

Starting the haggling process implies a desire to purchase. No fair driving him down that much just to leave him with blue balls.

TC and Black Press reporters: this is what we call here an off-topic post.

But I hadn't finished the haggling process, but the tour was leaving.

I don't care about his blue balls, he had another sucker er, customer in the fold within seconds.

...This is nearing completion now...

But the CSV has been destroyed! :eek: (sarcasm font on)

New sidewalks poured a few weeks ago, and finishing work continuing. They were taking down the wood and orange plastic netting around the boulevard trees yesterday.

This 'affordable'/not-so-affordable new rental building that was aiming for October occupancy doesn't seem to be occupied just yet. No window treatments or furniture spotted, at least from what I could see from ground level. Certainly the sides on Cook and Oliphant are not ready as entry points, but perhaps from the backside of the property there is a safe entry for residents, assuming their units are complete.

I can't remember, have there been any announcements re: the commercial tenants? I think some of those ground-floor units are live-work ones.
