This week there's been a debate

here in Edmonton as to what to do with the Coliseum grounds area. The Mayor wants to have the building demolished. Council is more or less on board but then what? There have been some other proposals previously to this week. One was to repurpose the Coliseum for a senior student housing complex. I was on board with this. Now any idea of repurposing the Coliseum building is off the table in these recent set of proposals advanced this week. The four proposals can be seen here. My pick was the last one C2, mainly because it was a balance of the 4 and would move the lrt/bus loop to 117th Ave and line it up with the Edmonton Expo. This proposal is many years away and I doubt I'll be around to see any of it. You can read up on this here. 

The Oilers are now 2/7 pre season W's on the board. Last year the team did well in the pre season and didn't make the playoffs. Oilers brass made a few tweaks here and there during the off season, and basically the pre season is all about players getting contracts.

The Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo (Edmonton Expo) is this weekend. We get the usual Doctor Who, Star trek, all things science fiction and pop culture etc in a 3 day event. I like the panels, all the costumed people the swag and autograph photo ops, all kinds of cool stuff. Last year over 20,000 people came through the doors for Fan Expo Unfortunately like last year I wont be able to get there. Anyway that's all for now.
