    Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

    Half @$$ it. It's the most Edmonton thing you can do. That has been my motto for Edmonton for a while now. I don't mean it in an insulting or pejorative sense, but it just seems to be the overall attitude by a lot of people in this city. Especially the people with the financial and political...

    ATB Place - Redevelopment

    ^ Those were the days. Head offices for Shaw, Telus and EDTel all in Edmonton likely providing several thousand good jobs. We were a telecom hub, as you stated. Now? Those thousands of jobs are likely down do a few hundred? What a huge loss.

    Edmonton Events / conferences

    Edmonton and Calgary to co-host the 2027 Indigenous Games and gathering. Calgary was originally chosen as the host city but the Council that governs these games withdrew Calgary's hosting rights last summer. Edmonton will host some of the sporting events and a powwow. Sounds like the whole...

    Edmonton Oilers

    A couple more damning stats with respect to our beloved underachievers: (1) as noted by @TAS above, the loss against Pittsburgh was the fifth consecutive home loss against teams that played the night before. Tonight could be the the sixth as Washington played in Calgary last night. (2) Spector...

    Edmonton | Coronation Community Recreation Centre | ?m | ?s | City of Edmonton | Dub Architects

    ^Can the "average Joe" just wander in there and have a peak now or do you have to be part of the "first competition"?

    ATCO Place (former CWB)

    ^ Haha. You're not far off. Except I never had the courage or foresight to snap any pictures.

    Londonderry Mall

    ^I'll say it again. Zellers in the ground floor of a new mixed use development on the BMO site downtown named "The Tegler". Maybe if we all say it/wish it enough times it will happen.

    ATCO Place (former CWB)

    I'll look to see if I can find a picture or two. Over the years I was up there many times. Maybe too many. When you were called to a meeting up on the 20th floor it was usually with the C-suite types and it was, more often than not, a rather stressful time.

    ATCO Place (former CWB)

    I spent a good chunk of 25 years of my career in the "Red Square". Will be interesting to see what becomes of the old gal.

    Downtown

    ^ Half @$$ it. It's the most Edmonton thing you can do!

    Edmonton Oilers

    YUP!!! The 8th time this season they have been unable to win that third game in a row. They are one of only 2 teams in the league that haven't won more than 2 games in a row. The other is the mighty St. Louis Blues. And they haven't had a winning % above 0.500 since game 3 of the season when...

    Beaver Hills House Park & Michael Phair Park Renewal

    I always wondered if they could have finished the Churchill Station entrance, right across from the AGA, with surplus zinc and stainless steel left over from the the AGA construction. This definitely has the potential to look really cool. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    Edmonton | Rogers Place | ?m | ?s | Katz Group | HOK

    My apologies. In no way was I trying to insinuate that events at Rogers resulted in 2.02 unique individuals coming in to downtown. I guess I should have used visits or person visits or ....something else.
