Visiting a place periodically for me seems a bit like an LDR... intense, a short time spent in person, and the intervening absence makes small changes more readily apparent. Example: North Woods Hemp Shop "Alberta's Premier Cannabis Location" on a walk up Whyte Ave this morning.

Or liquor stores being privatised, likewise. And the local economy is doing well, a refreshing change from the gloom and unemployment at home.
When one is fond of the locale (as I have become of this place) the LDR analogy is even closer. But time to pack...

I can't find any stories on the re-building, however.
