^^^ The "cross-bracing" X's are way off too. They're setting off alarm bells in my OCD-like brain.

Retail-Insider has a profile out of women's fashion retailer Grit & Grace which will be opening in 'The Well'.
https://retail-insider.com/retail-i...-grace-to-open-2-stores-in-toronto-interview/
Some interesting bits on the retailer, mostly brand focused; but two specific items for this thread stand out.
1) Their store opens in September of this year. Which I would imagine gives a good sense of when much of the retail will be anticipated to be open or opening.
2) The owner of the store toured the site, and R-I has pictures
I'll bring two of them forward, for the rest, follow the link above:

The fitout has begun for the two restaurants in the first building east on Wellington. Photos taken 9 March.

There is a Lulu Bar in Calgary; I wonder if it is the same one? Also, is there going to be a patio along Wellington? https://static1.squarespace.com/sta...4554cfc594/1677026744680/LL-Food-0221-WEB.pdf
There is also a Brigette Bar from Calgary. Both are chef driven and seem to be a good fit. https://www.bridgettebar.com/

Great images. I'm looking forward to seeing this when it opens. It's been in the works on one way or another for over a decade.

Wow the kerning on T H E W E L L is some of the worst I've seen. Looks like it was installed by someone who had no concept of kerning at all and just measured the minimum distance between each letter and kept them all the same.

I'm totally going to call it Thewell instead of The Well and see if it catches on.I'm looking forward to visiting Thewell after doing my banking with Cibco.
You can barely call this kerning, the letters are spaced far enough apart that there's not really an attempt to kern them, but space them in fact… and one is supposed to notice that T H E is one line of light while W E L L has two lines. I'm not saying this works great, but to declare THEWELL might be to miss reasonably obvious details?
