Always believe
We did it!
Alright, we, as in the edmontonian or Edmonton as a whole, didn’t do anything. But Commerce Place employees, visitors and just plain everyday Edmontonians can enjoy free and easy access from the city’s premiere street to the building.
It only took forever.
Never forget.
Door Watch will always have a special place in our hearts because it was one of our first features, and one of the first stories that seemed to connect with people who would say to us “Yeah, that door hasn’t been open in a bygone.”
We talk to a lot of old people who use terms like bygone.
Our only complaint was that the door was broken for so long that it had already become lore of unfixable items by the time we hit the scene.
Gee…I wonder if anyone else is being lax in fixing major items around this town…maybe we can get on their case next.
Sadly, when they were trapped inside the boarded up door in 2008 there were 10 of them.

how about th dead tree that is prominently on display at the top of the granite column in Rice-Howard way? please apply pressure to have the person/persons responsible for this embarrassment to act…
It doesn’t jump to mind…but I’ll check it out.
I’m also looking at the ETS…they have been “working” on the escalator at University station since December…
Why can’t people just fix stuff?
I remember hearing a news story about the dead column tree years ago when I was in the City newsroom… The person who designed that sculpture on Rice Howard Way apparently intended for the tree to die at some point and become a part of the artistic statement of the piece, something about how nature and man can never co-exist…?
I think that’s right, anyway…
