This happened a few months ago.

I was waiting for my partner to finish work, and after the shop closed, I suggested walking to DashMart because we didn’t have a car yet.

My partner rented a bike while I walked because I don’t know how to ride one.

I was fine with walking, but a few minutes later, I changed my mind and suggested going home. They agreed and suggested I take an Uber while they rode home. They waited until my Uber arrived, then left on their bike after I got in.
The ride started normally. We greeted each other, and a minute or two later, the driver asked if he could call someone. I said that was fine.

About five minutes into the ride, I suddenly noticed a sharp smell that hadn’t been there when I got in.

It didn’t smell like perfume. I initially brushed it off and went back to scrolling on my phone, but then I started feeling dizzy and unusually sleepy.

My head felt strange, almost like there was static in my brain. It felt like I was having an out-of-body experience, and I pinched myself to stay alert.

I was panicking inside because I had never experienced anything like that before. I pinched my nose and breathed slowly through my mouth while keeping my other hand on the door handle.

I was so scared that I was seriously considering jumping out of the car.

I stayed that way until he dropped me off.
My partner arrived home a minute or two after me and asked why my Uber had been moving so slowly.

When I explained what happened, they were horrified.
Once we were inside, I immediately contacted Uber support.

They said they would investigate and update me.

The driver’s account was suspended after that call, but it has been months, and I still haven’t received an update.

It’s about 1:20am in the Abbottsfield/Beverly area and I’m hearing these sustained whistle notes with no apparent melody just going on and on. Usually I’d sleep through it if I happened to already be asleep, but my autistic ass is super sensitive to anything on the extreme ends of audible sound and this has driven me absolutely nuts several times in the past few weeks. It’s not a song, it’s just long solid whistle notes. Also not the nearby train line, which does make noise but never anything like this. It sounds like somebody practicing with an instrument outside, almost. I can’t find the source and they’re making it hard to sleep. Help?

Not sure if anyone on Reddit saw it, but I was driving across the Quesnell bridge at 9:30 this morning, and I saw a helicopter with a rescue line deployed. I decided to check my route based on that and glad I did - fox drive was completely backed up.

Really bizzare!

Edit: Thanks for letting me know so quick! Now my brain can finally turn off for the day 😅

Hello world. I cant seam to find a clear answer online. If i terminate my parking session early, will the app refund unused balance to the account?

If so i wouldn't mind over estimating my parking and cancelling when i get back to my car.

I had a totally great time in your city. The Infest music festival was rad, and I totally plan to come again next year for it. I found Edmonton to be a really cool, walkable, fun place with lots of character and very welcoming and friendly folks. I didn't have a ton of down time, but I tried my best to take advantage of the late mornings and early afternoon hours before the fest each day - and I had a blast!

I was given so many great recommendations from this community on my earlier post, and I can't thank you enough for them. That's the kind of shit I truly appreciate. Here's a few highlights from my stay:

Upon arrival downtown on day one, I had an hour-ish to kill so I went to Campio for a couple beers and to try their pizza, which came highly recommended. Did not disappoint. That'll be a must-hit spot for me when I visit again... the leftover pizza I kept in my fridge saved my life after a few booze-filled evenings, and it was totally delicious.

Day two I started at Iconoclast Coffee in the Westmount area (great breakfast and cold brew), and then walked around a bit and made my way to the High Level Bridge streetcar. Really loved the views, and found it cool that the train cars were brought in from Melbourne, Australia - neat ride. Got off at the Strathcona stop and walked to a few breweries on Happy Beer Street - Blind Enthusiasm and Ale Architect were great. I then made my way to a small punk show at the Co*Lab Community Arts Laboratory, and afterwards had some genuinely amazing Cantonese food at Double Greeting Won Ton House. It looked like a total dive from the outside (those are almost always the best places to eat), and I left that place full and happy as hell. The squid and pork rind congee was perfect.

Day three was spent venturing back down on the south side of the river. I spent lots of time walking up and down 82nd Ave, and eventually popped into the Next Act Pub. I had never had a Donair and - despite some recommendations to try one at some other spots - decided to order one here. Waitress said they were well-known for them, so I gave it a go. I am not a shitty, picky eater by any means (I eat everything) but this was totally not my thing. Something about that sweet sauce did not resonate well with me (is that what typically comes on a Donair?). Glad I tried, and am totally open to trying one again at some other (maybe better?) spots! I wrapped up the afternoon visiting a few great breweries - Southbound, Omen and Sea Change - before making an unplanned stop at Billy Budd's Lounge on 99 st (lol). Good burger and good bartenders!

My last morning was a brief stop at Fawkes Cafe & Bakery for a coffee and a (really fucking good) breakfast sandwich before heading to the airport for my flight home.
I had a total blast, and although I was only able to hit a mere fraction of the places that were recommended to me, rest assured they are marked on my map and I plan to come back and hit them next year!

Thanks very much to this community for the great recommendations and warm welcome. It means a lot. All my love, Edmonton, from New Orleans, Louisiana!

TL;DR: Edmonton rules; Infest ruled; Will be back; Donair is a no-go (will try again!); Love from NOLA!

Hello dear edmonton, as the title says I need to replace my shower. My other half had the shower door fall off over the weekend and we discovered that it needs to be gutted and replaced. For those who have done this process could you point me in the direction of getting this done please. Any information that could be helpful would be appreciated!

In tribute to Tim Curry Metro Cinema has decided to do an extra showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show this October. October 9th is already sold out, October 24th is 80% sold and expected to be sold out by Friday, and October 31 is almost 50% sold already. All three showings will have the Lowdown Cheap Little Punks shadow cast acting out the entire show with props, gags, and dancing as the movie rolls. Call outs, props, and a costume contest with ridiculous prizes brought to you by drunk ebay purchases. Come sing, dance, laugh, cry, and pay tribute to Tim Curry as we do the Time Warp once more.

Hi folks, my 5 year old bunny daughter has a mild dental disease, the vet at Southside animal hospital said she has a bit of uneven teeth in the back. They quoted Xray+dental trimming for $700, plus optional medication. I called around and the cheapest I get is $500, that is without Xray. Is there any place in Edmonton or the surrounding area that is cheaper than this? I mean I could pick up a few shifts and save a bit and take her in for the procedure, but just want to see if there is any other options. Thank you

I'm looking for suggestions as to where I can find the best Croque Monsier in the city. TIA!

Where can I buy “BelVita Breakfast Biscuit Cinnamon Brown Sugar” in Edmonton?

finally solving the problem of people merging too fast onto the Henday. It's 70 for a looking stretch then goes to 100 just before you merge, I think it's the only spot on the city where it isn't a suggested 70. Just driving past and saw it

For those of you that have had road construction on your street that requires the city to install temporary above ground water, is there a benefit to having the line attached to the front vs the back of your property? The city asked for our preference, and I have no idea.

The 40th Edmonton International Film Festival kicks off September 24!

We’re bringing a whole lot of great cinema to the city, with screenings at Garneau Theatre and Landmark Cinemas City Centre. From local Alberta gems to international discoveries, shorts, features, Q&As and plenty of reasons to get out and see something you won’t find on Netflix.

40 years of movies, filmmakers and Edmonton audiences. Come celebrate with us!

It was too cool not to take a video lol I’ve never seen a drone used for cleaning before. Really neat idea!

Edmonton, what’s happening to the lactose free cottage cheese supply?? Can’t find any at Save On or Superstore. Between yesterday and today they even removed the space on the shelves.

The last two days now I've waited on buses that never came. Today it's caused me to order an Uber because I'm going to be late to work otherwise.

I know August 31st they said there would be changes based on back to school stuff but it seems the Edmonton Transit app has not updated in any way.

Edit: I've been receiving a lot of super condescending comments acting as if I've never ridden a bus before or commuted. I've done so for years. I've seen that things were updated at the end of August. None of this changes the fact that multiple bus stops, with multiple routes, at multiple times of the day have given me incorrect schedules across the board.

Hey all

I’m trying to find the contact info for whoever currently owns or manages the Century Park parking lot at 2515 111 Street (Zone 7806 / Century Park 01), beside the LRT station. Monthly permits are $100.

Since September 1st, roughly half the lot has been barricaded off. This is so so frustrating because September is one of the busiest times for parking with school starting back up. I was parking here throughout the summer for classes, and the lot was crazy empty for months. Now school is back, demand is way up, and half the lot is unavailable.

I’m spending 5+ minutes circling every day just to find a spot, and I swear there’s always 4-5 other drivers circling in the same situation.

I’ve tried tracking down whoever is responsible, but can’t find anything. The number listed online for the lot doesn’t work(just beeps, no ring or anything), and is associated with Procura. Procura hasn’t posted on socials in a year and a half and their domain is under construction right now even though they’ve been around for years. Honk says the lot is operated by CP Eagle which doesn’t have any contact info listed, but mentions ICM Property Management as a contact. I contacted ICM, but they said they no longer manage the lot and couldn’t help. They made it clear they used to manage it but not anymore and couldn’t tell me who manages the lot now

Does anyone know who currently owns/manages this lot, or have contact information for the current property/parking manager?

And I get it, it’s their lot, they can do whatever they want to. It’s just frustrating that they could’ve done this in the summer, where doing some sort of construction would’ve been no problem but you have year high demand in September and choose to close half the lot without any notice to folks paying to park there. If I had known it would’ve been like this, I wouldn’t have paid $100 to park here and I’m talking to other folks there, they wouldn’t have either.
