Mystery Monday: This photo is of 5/6ths of a large linocut mural that would have measured approx 24 ft long x 6 ft tall that graced the inside of a #yyc establishment in the 60s, 70s and/or 80s. Does anyone remember seeing this & can point out where it was displayed? #yycheritage

Former councillor Druh Farrell: “Designation of heritage sites is meant to be in perpetuity. De-listing Calgary’s most important collection of heritage buildings and a National Heritage Site would be devastating to the future of heritage in Calgary.” #yycheritage #yycdowntown

A proposal was made public 2 mths ago that would decimate Calgary’s most beautiful & intact block of historic buildings and… silence from the city’s elected officials. Do you favour glass towers over heritage? @yyctkw @CWalcottYYC @JyotiGondek @gccarra

all ruins are here to teach us lessons, and all ruins teach us different ones. The big lesson all ruins teach in common, though, is to replace your roof every 20-30 years or at end of manufacturer's warranty
