What to do when waiting for the bus

Take a picture of course. This the old Hudson Bay Department Store. Today it houses Enterprise Square which is part of the University of Alberta. It also has City Television and a radio station. The stone etching is one of many found on the building depicting the history if the Hudson Bay

Interesting history to the building...I wonder what people think of the stone etchings who don't know the history.

[Claire]

Not a bad view whilst waiting for the bus. Like the 'blue peter' ship

Are the Hudson Bay stores no longer??? We haven't been in one for awhile, but we used to shop there all the time when in Canada.

I'm glad they didn't cover up the etching and also to see the building has continued its retail history while adding in some new enterprises as well. Good shot!
