This picture is actually from January.

Look, we don’t want to be typecast as the blog that points out stuff that doesn’t seem to get fixed.

(Although others clearly like the idea.)

One day I will take the LRT and not see these awful yellow notices. One day.

But it’s been five months. Five. Months.

And the escalator on the east side of the University LRT Station is still broken.

It made for absolutely jam-packed crushes up the working escalator all school year. At busy points it’s still really annoying.

LRT Station, we want two escalators!

It’s Escalator Watch ’10 – and we’re already at five months…

Do you think the escalator will be fixed by the time the new LRT stations open at Southgate and Century Park. That’s a race to watch!!!

Next time…we may actually ask the ETS what’s up…but we also like just sitting on our high horses and demanding things be in working order…

I peered into the work area months ago. It's still under construction.

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.

We first called out Commerce Place, on their inability to fix one little door, in August.

Hey, traditional media, anytime you like one of our stories we can save you guys some time working on it if you just drop us a line. We’ll do it for standard freelance rates, nothing fancy.

Then, you know, you could work on investigative news that people (like us) with day jobs can’t do.

But it is super-flattering.

SEE jumped onto our bandwagon nearly 3 months later.

(No, they haven’t re-opened the doors next to Tim Hortons.  But the sawhorse is gone on the second set of Jasper Avenue doors.  Just let me have this one.)

There never seems to be a shortage of odd things.

That’s a nice basket of rocks you’ve got there.

The next one was kind of funny at first. Then we found a second cough syrup bottle at Clareview Station and it wasn’t as funny.

Spotted on the Clareview LRT grounds.

This cough syrup bottle was on the LRT tracks.

I’ve had this one for a while. This mask was found at the University. Surely that means it has something to do with education of some sort. Right?

In case of emergency, find this mask at the U of A.

Remember when this guy (and his pal) were on the main level of the City Centre mall? Now they’ve been relegated to the back corner of the smaller food court. Sorry buddy.

It ain't what it used to be, because they put you in the basement.

I think, by this point, our love-hate relationship with Commerce Place and its Jasper Avenue doors is documented. That they have but one door, of four, operational on the city’s main downtown street is funny, but not “ha-ha” funny. Oh, Commerce Place…

Two doors broken, one door saw-horsed. You're next, remaining door.

And for those wondering, #yeg is a Twitter reference. Get on Twitter, already.
