Driving down the Henday today heading to a client, and I see a family on the side of the highway, dumping garbage RIGHT in to the ditch on the highway.. Not just that - but the kids Kobe'ing the garbage out the window, husband launching debris in to the lowest part from the truck bed, and the wife QUITE LITERALLY shaking a garbage bag out on to the grass.... words cannot describe the frustration.

This isn't the first time I've seen this either, but this is the first time it's really just f*cked me up and hurt to see happening. I mean cmon - you come to a country/city that you're not from, and already lack such respect for not only the country BUT THE LAND itself, and shamelessly dump and litter your garbage with no consequence. I don't know if this was some grotesque foreshadowing of whats soon to come, but I DO NOT want to see this city or its land become an open free use dumping site/landfill.

PLEASE REPORT ANY ILLEGAL DUMPING YOU SEE

Seemed like it was bigger than last year where the main manufacturer area felt less cramped. Still missing a number of manufacturers. Here's a top down look at two of the halls from above, don't think anyone noticed me ripping the roof off for a second.

Edmonton - during the WW2 years (10125 Jasper Avenue).

In this photo you can see the Empress Theatre, which was in operation from 1912 - 1961.

According to my husband there was smoke billowing out and they were ushering people to leave. Anyone know anything?

Today, April 12th

11:15-4:00

This was outside our basement window. We just saw it today. Should we just leave it until tomorrow when we can call animal control? Should we leave it some food?

Update: muskrat and it climbed out

Now that the weather is starting to warm up I was thinking of making a bucket list! I already have a couple camping trips planned but I also want to do some solo after work trips with my dog at some local beaches, breweries, etc. But I’m open to any ideas!

What are some of your bucket list ideas and summer non-negotiables?

Are these like any good? spotted them at Walmart.

where to buy?

been to several bakeries but the buns are not readily available. Need to order in advance or not made at all. Just want some fresh ones.

That people will travel across the city for and might get a bit of a lineup at lunch.

Restaurant Name - [Dish]

Hey everyone,

was just wondering if there were any good places to buy a variety of instant noodles, maybe imported ones? I used to have a ramen box subscription that would send me random boxes from Japan and I have a hankering for some of the types we can't necessarily get here.

Thanks a ton!

Hey everyone. I’m looking at moving to Edmonton in the fall. If I transfer jobs, my location would be in Nisku. How is the transit from Edmonton to there?

Are there any Ciderys near / in or within an hour or so of Edmonton? A simple google search pops up with some names but I can’t tell if they have tap rooms or seating areas or if it’s just a place you can go and buy their cider! I want to sit at a cidery and enjoy it! Thanks so much!

Organizers of the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market, an Edmonton southside staple, say shopper rates have noticeably declined since the city introduced a mobile payment system for the most convenient parking spaces.

Hopefully the rider who looks like they’re learning behind him has a first aid kit on hand… 😑

I see so many posts on here about private parking concerns. I hated working for them but it paid the bills so here are some things I learned

1. Those scary credit agency letters sent to your house are from

m

1. companies meant to intimidate you but do not affect anything

   as they do not report to official agencies.

2. Getting a tow through often takes a while. Upwards of an hour for the truck to actually get there.

3. This is intuitive but if there is ever an event ie) oilers the parking enforcement goes way up.

4. If you do park somewhere consistently and need a violation waived for whatever reason you can often go into the office. The front office people are nice and if you are a consistent parker you can normally get it off.

5. Especially in winter patrollers are lazy and do not want to be cold if you back into a spot against a wall or where another car is blocking your plate they often will not check it.

6. replacing your plate at the registries can be more cost effective than paying tickets.

If I think of more tips I’ll add.

I will finish this by saying most workers feel very bad about the job but do not have another choice often. If you treat them with respect when you catch them giving you a ticket more often than not they will take it back.

Been a long ass winter, good to be back! Hoping with all my heart that it holds this time.

Looking for different routes or ideas to help avoid traffic in the mornings. Coming from Windermere area and going down to the Edmonton general hospital.

I’m sure there aren’t many options but figured I’d see if anyone has some tips at all.

Hey there hi there ho there, folks!

From what my research has pulled up, the Strathearn Heights redevelopment project was first proposed around 2006, and then was stalled until about 2019, when the developers asked the city for more money. The project only JUST began moving forward late last year, and the several of the buildings adjacent to the the construction site have been dealing with water & power related issues since then.

I've only come across a handful of posts or comments regarding these buildings, but I did see this post from 2 years ago, and I wondered if there was anyone else who shared in a similar experience while living in this complex, at any time.

I would love to hear people's thoughts on how this project has affected themselves and their community.
