When they closed down the old Legion and sold off all the chairs and glasses etc. ... they let their interior sign mascot get away.

 

I am saving it for them for when they start up again.

Amazing! Good work, Sparky!

[Sparky]

The darn thing is immaculate. It must have cost a fortune to make. I bought it from a guy that bought it from a guy that was at the clear out sale. 

 

I'm a member of Pro Pat's so I felt compelled to make sure it didn't get away.

Was getting the locks shorn today and took this one from the Constance St side of the site.....

This meccano-style construction goes up fast.

This meccano-style construction goes up fast.

 

It does and there is a full crew working on it today; must be windy and cold as hell on those upper floor plates.

 

Can't say I was too enthused about whatever was blaring full volume from their boom box - although based on those so-called lyrics posted on the "Deaths of Notable Victorians" thread whatever these guys were listening to just *had* to be better than DMX, whoever or whatever he was.......

The Vista has relocated to an undisclosed oceanfront location.  Previously it was here:

 

 

(I'm sure there is a nice sandy beach there by the Canex label, right?)

Oh I see, it's like a ship, so it can move closer to the water maybe.

 

 

“Our communities are often compared to a cruise ship on land, where everything that you need is provided,” says Wayne Melvin, general manager for The Vista. “That’s what is most appealing about us, so that when people move in, they’re not worried about home maintenance, housekeeping, cooking, shopping or the cleaning - that’s all provided for them.”

Does anyone have any information on the status of this building?  Is it still actively under construction?

[Mike K.]

Yup.

[ChrisA]

Thanks, but do you have more information than that, and how do you know?

Yup.

It's been 15 months since the photo above was posted. It would be nice to see a shot of the progress since then.

You have to pay the monthly VV premium subscription fee to get more than 3-letter answers from Mike K.

And there's no long term member, loyalty discount either.

[Nparker]

Which makes me think VV might be a subsidiary of Telus. 

[Mike K.]

Thanks, but do you have more information than that, and how do you know?

 

Cuz.

[Nparker]

I want my subscription fee back.

[Mike K.]

No.

[Sparky]

Geezus...do I have to do everything around here?

 

As of a half hour ago there WERE crews on site...but they were hiding behind the blue curtain.
