The pun in the title was irresistible! This is from the window display of a Calgary toy store.

Here’s one to kick off your weekend. It appears as if the thought of a nice, icy cold one causes inanimate objects to smile as much as some humans do. This happy sign was seen outside a pub in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood earlier this week.

Very glad to see plaques with historical information pop up on buildings all over the Kensington business district.
And in case you missed it, I wrote about the state of historical preservation in Calgary in my Sun column several weeks ago.

Double take

Digging through some photos from late 2013, I came across this quick snapshot of a poster reproducing an artist’s rendition for a remake of Horton Plaza Park in San Diego, above.
It struck me at the time how much those tall metallic columns really look like the Luminous Crossing towers of light at either end of the Calgary transit mall, below.
There’s no evidence (none I could find, anyway) the same artist is responsible for both, which makes this visual/design coincidence even more striking.
