Tiny door update

A few days back I mentioned we had found a smaller-than-normal door at a parkade near the Winspear Centre.

Well…it turns out the place is full of these tiny portals, which I can only assume lead to some other world.

This one isn’t even on the ground. So that other world must have hover-technology we don’t.

I repeat my earlier comment, what is up with that door?


Scrambled #yeg

Totally random and with nothing to do with this post (outside of name); I had scrambled eggs in my breakfast burrito this morning. It was delicious.

Now, here’s some weird stuff I’ve spotted around this fair city of ours. I like to call this scrambled #yeg to combine one of my favourite foods and Twitter’s Edmonton hashtag. Oh, and I’ve done this before.

I can only imagine the first day of school, and this is your first classroom.

There has to be upwards of $12 on that boat.

The lady is real-size, the door is not. What's up with that door?!

This is over in Old Strathcona's theatre district. I don't know why. But it's cool.

Insert pants joke here.


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.


Doorwatch ’09: Day 7

IMG00002I know you think you’re winning this, Commerce Place. You think I can’t go the distance – but you’re wrong. There is one thing you must never underestimate about me: I am an incredibly petty. I’m so petty, I’m practically Dini Petty over here. This is UNEQUIVOCALLY a hill that I will die on.

So let’s discuss the “Please excuse our appearance, we’re renovating” poster. Because I don’t see any renovating going on anywhere else in Commerce Place. It’s just this door. And after months of being “under renovation”, this door had better be pretty spectacular when it’s unveiled. I’m thinking like, a thin film of pure energy that protects us from the elements without requiring us to open or close it. It also hydrates us and heals any minor cuts and scrapes we may have acquired throughout the day. I’m talking like the Osmosis Door 3000 brought to you by Polysporin(patent pending).

G.D. it, Commerce Place, it’s been 7 days. Just fix the door. 7
