Ahh! I love quirky buildings like this! :-) This'll be an interesting addition to DTK and I'm excited to see it come together. I also enjoyed the video you posted. It really makes you question how muc...

  Thread: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours
Post: RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours
I live pretty close to downtown and I see people out and about all the time. I walked and drove by the ice rink at City Hall frequently over the holidays and not once was it empty. Usually it was full...

Awesome, can't wait to try out that resto! Pretty amazing to see the area around King and Madison now compared to when I moved to Kitchener five years ago. I lived on Madison up on the hill and it alw...

Post: RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours
Absolutely! It's in a great location and looks half decent as well. Red "brick" precast mostly, which I appreciate instead of the current monochrome fad. Five or so stories. I'll try to snap a few pic...

Post: RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News
Too bad! Wasn't huge on their beer but I always enjoyed the space. They were one of the few small to mid sized sized venues that welcomed local bands and actually paid half-decently for performances. ...

If they can make a go if it, good on 'em. If not... they'll close and make way for something else. I'm most excited about the bakery on Park. It's about a five minute walk from my place so I hope it's...

Thanks! :-) No renders or pictures on the page but the project seems to be going up pretty quickly so I guess I'll just see progress as I drive by.

Post: RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours
Can someone point me to the thread of the building being built on the Uptown side of Union near King (across from Sorbara Law)? Seems like a nice infill project and I'd love to see the renders. Thx!

Looks like they've added planters and flexible bollards on Gaukel between Charles and Halls Lane. Wish it would continue all the way to King but still looks pretty good IMO.  Can't seem to upload p...

I was downtown on Gaukel today for an event and saw that they've installed new traffic lights on Gaukel at Charles. I guess this means they are not extending the pedestrian space up to City Hall? I wa...
