Talk about 50 shades of grey! Sixteenth Avenue is a major gateway road in this city, but it leaves a little something to be desired aesthetically. We'll explore why this roadway looks the way it does, its unique history and if there's any hope for a better, more colourful future.

Starting on April 9th, Jenny Howe is the new host of This is Calgary. She can't hop in front of the mic though without a few words of wisdom from outgoing host Anis Heydari. New host, same obsession with the things we love about Calgary and the things we just don't understand (yet).

We talk to some residents and a developer about life on the inside of an office conversion.
