It's such a shame.<br /><br />@SRQ: the north side stands you see in the first pic are original, though they did some serious restoration work on them during the building process. The south side stands, where I was photographing from, was a complete rebuild. The condos and retail are mostly to the north side of the stadium, as well as some of the buildings on the west side.<br /><br />@MB: Lansdowne was a hard lesson: never, ever trust the word of a developer- it's absolutely worthless.<br /><br />@Marleen: I'd probably have to make inquiries of the artist!<br /><br />@RedPat: a lot of people have been commenting on it.<br /><br />@Bill: these guys claimed the retail and restaurants would be unique boutiques. Instead we've got a Winners among the mix. If they could have gotten away with it, they'd have torn down the Aberdeen Pavilion and built a Wal Mart.<br /><br />@Beth: I have no idea what football songs would be, though the stadium does double for a soccer team. And there's a hockey arena beneath the north side stands as well.<br /><br />@Linda: one of my favourite shows!<br /><br />@Halcyon: a lot of people think so!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-56454461132019648032016-05-04T16:27:27.034-04:002016-05-04T16:27:27.034-04:00The sculpture is really impressive.The sculpture is really impressive.Halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729819462354019534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-20657570429069869702016-05-04T16:27:21.338-04:002016-05-04T16:27:21.338-04:00The Cabal....makes me think of The Blacklist here ...The Cabal....makes me think of The Blacklist here on TV.Linda Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237332954767037400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-13788505996776044462016-05-04T15:21:02.649-04:002016-05-04T15:21:02.649-04:00i am feeling the need to sing.
