Not sure why. Calgary has a bigger population, the stampede, closer to Banff national park. But it's Edmonton people know about. Thought you guys would want to know that.

So, here are 2 photos of what construction of the valley Line West looks like from 102 Street station, and it seems like they are digging up the ground to place more tracks, and as you can see the frames for the tracks.

Dear stranger who said they really liked my haircut while I was leaving River City Revival House and walking past The Gardens.

I have been having a terrible week and feeling very lonely, lots of trouble with my self worth. As someone who who doesn't get compliments very often, you simply saying you thought my haircut was amazing really made me feel happy in the moment and got me through a tough couple of minutes.

I really appreciate you and I hope I never forget this interaction.

Slim chance you ever see this, but your haircut looked amazing too and you had a really nice outfit. Keep it up!

Shout out to Gz2Gentz barbershop for the sick skin fade.

Seeing all the talk about restaurants closing has me thinking about my favorite small chain here in town, and how I need more people to know about it to ensure it lives on for future generations.

Farrow has four locations in the city, and the best dang sandwich I have ever had in my entire life. The Grick Middle. (Also known as, “The Grick”)

Crispy bacon. Delectable tomato jam (I didn’t even realize tomato jam was a thing before this). Fresh Arugala. The perfect amount of cheese. Rosemary aioli I would actually write home about. The most perfectly cooked egg you will ever have in your life. All on top of some of the best bread I have ever seen used for a sandwich in my life. and the best part? Under ten bucks baybeeee

They also have other sandwiches, some of which are vegetarian for those of that persuasion, but I’ve never bothered to try them. My heart belongs to The Grick alone.

They also have really good cronuts (donuts with croissant dough), and a different specialty flavor for those every month. This month is blueberry lime cheese cake, and both my husband and I both found it to be phenomenal. These ones are a bit pricier than your typical donut (still under five bucks), but if you think of them as its own dessert rather than something in the same category as the monstrosity that has become of Tim’s donuts, then it’s quality and price make more sense.

I have literally no affiliation to Farrow, I just need more people to know they exist and to try them out. If this chain goes under, I will genuinely move out of Edmonton, I’m not joking.

Edit: to everyone mentioning their favorite sandwich shops in town, thank you. While I shall remain a humble soldier in The Grick Army, I do appreciate getting recommendations of other spots to try out when my husband gets tired of me begging to go to Farrow

Hello cat parents!
Does anyone have a good recommendation of a cat boarding business within and/or around the city?

Things that would be preferable:

-Cats only OR one where you cannot hear dogs at all.
- A window in the individual Kennel
-$25 per night or less.

Play area optional.
Would even consider further outside of the city if they had a window in the individual kennel.

We have some options…but looking for recommendations from others who’ve had good experiences! Thanks for your time :)

Guys I’m genuinely so sick of hearing so much bad news in the world and especially bad news with Edmonton. From fires to gas prices lol! Tell me some good news in yalls. lives. WHATS UP WITH YALL?!

Is anyone else’s humidity higher than usual inside the house, with all the rain we’ve been getting?

My thermostat shows 75% humidity inside the house, and it’s usually much lower than that.

Just wondering if my humidistat is broken and/or if anyone is experiencing something similar.

The press release comes from Nova Scotia but seems national in scope. Facing an investigation from the Competition Bureau of Canada, the parent company of Sobey’s/Safeway/Freshco announces it will no longer seek restrictive covenants to prevent new grocery stores from opening in discontinued locations, nor enforce those currently in effect.

Would anyone locally take advantage? Food is a tough business in Edmonton right now.

Hello. I'm currently visiting Edmonton and the surrounding area. Our group is composed of people with very bad knees and not a lot of patience/appreciation for nature. I'd like to change their view a bit with a small trip through the Banff/Jasper area.

I'm looking for a 1 day trip, the route passing through/close to Calgary is a welcomed addition but not necessary.(Car available)

Does anybody have any suggestions that would help me convert these people without physically exhausting them?

Just saw Odyssey at WEM, good experience, good movie.

Just a few bits I figure would be useful to people considering it:

- There is barely a pre-show, only about 4 min of a preview of Dune Chapter 3 (also on film). Film starts pretty much immediately after. So get there early, especially if you want concession (lines were long even 10 min before at 10:50).

- I was in row E, and it was probably the last "comfortable" row. Idk how Row D was in terms of comfort, but I would strongly recommend against rows A-C unless you don't mind craning your neck.

I had an edible and saw The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm last night. On the way home, there was a man playing a real-life Didgeridoo on the bus. To think people avoid ETS and miss out on such entertainment. SMH.

He was also giving out Belgian Waffles, complimented my beard, and claimed his Uncle won the Canadian Beard Growing competition three times in the 1960s.

Zeus' law is truly alive and well on the Edmonton Transit System.
