The magic that wasn't: goodbye to the 90s teal of Eau Claire Market

Update: 2024-05-08

Description

The Eau Claire Market is soon to be demolished, so it's time to look back at what went right, what went wrong and what's next for the downtown project that never really worked. Failure or not, Calgarians felt strongly about the now-dead mall and the magic it promised, so we talk to a literal magician about what it was like to perform there, and a former city councillor about what it's like to finally say "eau" revoir.
