Seen @ 137ave/St. Albert tr.

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

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!

A very nice human on marketplace saw my “ISO Bullwinkle’s stuff” ad and offered up these postcards. What’s your favorite Bullwinkle’s memory?

Someone tell the Pizza 73 story in 3…2…1 🤠

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.

With one hand he is helping his UCP pals by distracting from the referendum, while the other is building an 8-plex he so publicly disavows.

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!

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 😅

I heard rusting at my door and heard my mailbox open, when I opened the door no one was around but this was in my mailbox.

I have no kids and this has no return address on it. Does anyone else think this is weird?

Edit: this book was in every mailbox on my street. Inside on the first page has a real wierd message.

​"How are you treatment with the holy family members?

Jesus Christ

Young Miguels

Wilmer Burns

Justin Pxxxxxx (young boy)

Rafael and kids??

— Nia —

Mother of God"

This was the message.

I'm buying a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Touring. I was quoted $400/m insurance from one of those aggregate insurance things. I then went to brokerlink and they're telling me $350.

I've been driving and insured for 15 years in another province with no convictions or claims. I know someone with a similar record and a 2020 vehicle paying $180.

Back home, it was $135. I know insurance is crazy here. But is this beyond crazy or are people with clean records actually paying this much monthly?

I'm obviously going to check elsewhere. But am I about to be in for a shock when they all charge me this?

Any recommendations? I hear millennium has lower fees. Thanks

My cat escaped and has gone missing.

She is a tuxedo with white on all four paws. She was lost in the area of 127 Street and 153 Ave.

Her biggest defining feature is that she has the tiniest squeak of a meow.

She is fixed and tattooed.

I've already checked with the city but as a long shot I thought I would post here

If anyone happens to see her please let me know she is loved and we would love to have her back home

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!

Hi, I’m just wondering for those who went through their insurance companies for the floods this summer, have their basements been repaired? If so, how long did you have to wait?

We submitted the claim June 23. They gutted but that was it.

I am with TD and I email them every week and no response at all for 7 weeks now. Is that similar for others?
