            Another surprise in downtown Calgary.  After many years of being enshrouded in scaffolding, our gorgeous sandstone City Hall building is nearing the completion of its renovation. As you know, sandstone is not an ideal building material, as it can deteriorate under some conditions, but it's looking pretty fine now! Can't wait for them to open the inside!

I quite like our downtown, but Larry isn’t as enamoured with our downtown as I am.  When he retired, after working most of his life in a downtown of some sort, he said that he had had his fill of it. And so now I need to exploit any opportunities to visit and explore. Downtowns need exploring, as they can change so quickly, and are so different in each season. With COVID, there’s a pall of sadness to much of it, with stores, restaurants, shopping and pedestrian malls, parks and such that are open, but with so few people in them. On this walk, I started at City Hall, walked west down Stephen Avenue Walk to the huge indoor Devonian Gardens park, then on to Eau Claire Market and Prince’s Island. After seeing some wonderful wildlife at the Island, I continued east along the pathways to St. Patrick’s Island, then headed to the stunning New Central Library via the condo jungle of the East Village.
