VicHockeyFan posted topic Private swimming pools - where are they?

lpoutine,

VicHockeyFan has just posted a new topic entitled "Private swimming pools - where are they?" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure we have ever talked about this.

I lived part-time in Vancouver once, and out building had a pretty sweet outdoor pool, used it lots.

I was just looking at an aerial of Songhees, due to that thread, and I see Shutter has a nice pool.

So I'm thinking, what other building have pools/hot tubs around town?

I remember many many years ago a youngster died in the pool at a big apartment on Shelbourne St.

UrbanRail posted topic Island View Beach Project

lpoutine,

UrbanRail has just posted a new topic entitled "Island View Beach Project" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This past spring, I was part of a group of students who completed a two year study on Island View Beach and its vegetation. The program at Camosun I am enrolled in (will graduate this December) is called Environmental Technology (Diploma). Each year students are asked to divide into groups and choose a final project.
I have included GIS maps I worked on over those two years, which also included our group of 3 to go out on site and map 90% of the park. We stayed mostly within the field and marsh like areas.

Anyway thought I would share this, as this park has been a topic of hot discussion over the years.

Cheers

Aaron

UrbanRail posted topic City Hall Extension Discussion

lpoutine,

UrbanRail has just posted a new topic entitled "City Hall Extension Discussion" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to admit it, I am not a fan of the 60s extension to City Hall. It dates back to an era of planners trying to suburbanize downtown cores, with many mixed results. So lets have a little fun, and I will come up with some renderings of what can be done. If we going to replace it, then lets do it right. The extension has no esthetic connection to the original City Hall building.

Now I know there are those who think we should keep it as an example of 60s architecture...but, perhaps we need to rethink this.

VicHockeyFan posted topic The Warehouse (?) | Victoria | 533 Yates St. (formerly The Reef) | opening Feb 2017

lpoutine,

VicHockeyFan has just posted a new topic entitled "The Warehouse (?) | Victoria | 533 Yates St. (formerly The Reef) | opening Feb 2017" in forum "Victoria Pubs, Bars and 19+ Venues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The concept might not be named The Warehouse, but it's by the folks that bring you The Hastings Warehouse in Vancouver.

http://foodology.ca/warehouse/

------------ QUOTE ----------

The Hastings Warehouse has ALL their food for $4.95. Drink are of course more costly than $4.95. This place is always packed and you will always see groups of people drinking. Even though it is on Hastings, it's not sketchy at all.
