Maybe someday our great-grandchildren will witness the groundbreaking.
Here's pics of the original model. Obviously the townhouse aspect is no more. But I have yet to see what the new rendering will look like:

So you're reminded constantly of this new reality when it comes to developments, that some of them are getting built...and many are not.
Um, that should be "most of them are getting built, but some are not".
Folks, if you want the silly thing to get built then work with the developer and get it built.
It seems unbelievable to me that such an innocuous little project has been put through the wringer like this.
It's also funny to me that the guys in the interview are lamenting getting stuck with parking lots. What about all of the existing parking lots that people defend tooth and nail when developers (finally) decide to build on them? You can't hate parking lots in one instance and celebrate them in another.

Today, I asked the check-out girl if that schedule was still on track and she looked at me as if I had asked her when the Martians were coming. She said there were no plans to close the store. In fact they're still hiring for several departments.
So I don't know what the hell's going on. Max has permission to go ahead with the reno.

Not too many changes as far as more family oriented units are concerned.
I plan to extract some of these and post zoomed images of the plan pages once I get access to a program that can extract pdf's to jpegs.
I can't make it to the council meeting. Anyone planning on going, and taking pics? Huh, huh?

I guess this is good news since a supermarket is more useful than a gelato shop and a scented candle store, but still--this whole process has been a debaucle.

But this is good IF F.C. stays open. I know a lot of fans of Oxford Foods, but I personally think it's garbagio. Hopefully this theoretical expansion of F.C. will fill the gaps other grocery stores have filled as far as selection is concerned.

I'd like this renovation more if a floor of residential were being added.

Neither are very interesting though.
I find Oxford Foods to be kind of depressing, much like the Wellburns on Pandora & Cook.
Victoria needs an Urban Fare.
