Apparently, the face of Whyte Ave has been changed again. Shit. According to the radio report on this, Uncle Albert's Pancake House on the corner of 104th burned right to the ground.
Sadly, this probably won't be the last time this happens. There are a lot of old wooden buildings around there, and even the most diligent care taken to reduce fire hazards doesn't stop things like arson or electrical shorts. I have to (rather shamefully) admit that as sad a loss as the Uncle Albert's is, I'm glad it wasn't the old post office.
The University is changing it's face too. The old quad is set to be demolished, although it effectively was demolished years ago by those hideous cheap-ass trailers. They're going to get rid of the Alberta Research Council building as well. My parents met there :-/
