The Plains Ex-hospital

The Plains Hospital. Or it was. I remember being there as a kid, and as a teenager... It's also where my paternal grandfather was being brought to, from 2 1/2 hours away, when he died.

It's not a hospital anymore, however. Now it is SIAST, a technical college. It was converted a few years ago. It was the newest, best hospital at the time, but it was on the edge of town, on an edge that never grew, so basically it was in the middle of nowhere. So... closed!

Construction at the U of R... again

Construction continues on the Lab Building addition at the University of Regina.

Downtown Regina from the southeast

In the foreground left, the Imax section of the Science Center. Behind it, from left to right, the Hotel Saskatchewan where the Queen always stays when she is in town, then the SaskPower building (has the antennae on the roof). Almost completely obscured, Regina's twin towers, the Hill McCallum buildings.

It's not all pretty

The Co-op Refineries at the north end of town.

Yes, that's it's real name.

Another day at the park, part one

The science center and Imax theatre.

The bridge

I could have sworn this was attached to the shoreline... yet it appears to have floated off aways.

April

The thaw has begun!
