Grandin Court Downtown

Grandin Court Downtown 

 

Grandin Court is a condominium complex located in downtown Edmonton.  It is a 'walk-up' wood constructed, four story building.   

There are approximately 50 units available, and the prices range from $250,000 to $400,000, in today's value.  

Today is July 30, 2014. 

The location of the complex might be in my opinion, at the best liveable spot, if you are looking to work and live in 'downtown'.

It is in a quiet spot of busy downtown. 

The address of 'Grandin Court' is 9828-112 Street. 

I live here now and work on jasper avenue and 97 Street.  

It takes me 30 minutes to walk to work now, instead of driving for a minimum of 30 minutes per day.  

My recommendation to everyone is that, if able, try to live and work in close proximity, to save on time.  Particularly 'downtown' living has considerable amount of benefits, which I will write in detail, in another blog. 

For now, I would like to focus on the beautiful complex of 'Grandin Court'.  It is a nice place to call 'home'.  And I do recommend living in this complex, particularly buying in here. 

Thank you for visiting, leave a comment, if you have time. 

Sincerely,

Court Confirms Fenerbahce SK's Conviction

Court Confirms Fenerbahce SK's Conviction  

I want to give brief back ground information on 'Fenerbahce SK' and 'Aziz Yildirim'.   

Who is Fenerbahce SK? 

Fenerbahce SK, or 'Fener' as known among most everyone, is a 'Top' football/soccer team from Istanbul, with numerous trophy titles held.

The President of Fener is Aziz Yildirim, he has been at this position for 15 years. 

Now, today's news.  

The Turkish Appeals Court has upheld Fenerbahce President Aziz Yildirim's conviction for 'match-fixing' & 'trying to influence the outcome of matches' & 'leading a criminal gang'.  

The conviction of 'match-fixing' occurred in July 3, 2012; and afterwards, Aziz Yildirim was sentenced to 6 years in prison. 

          Mr Aziz Yildirim

The 'final appeal' is the last avenue available for Mr Yildirim, who denies any wrongdoing.  

However, if the stated conviction above is confirmed, Mr Yildirim is expected to return to prison and be forced to step down as Fenerbahce's President. 

Due the conviction on July 3, 2012; Fenerbahce SK was expelled from the UEFA competition for these past years and is barred from qualifying for next season's competition.  

I will monitor the future outcomes from this scandal. 

Thank you,

Ben
