Holt's does this pop-up every year.

Yes, they have done it for a number of years as their material indicates. It must be at least a bit of an undertaking to do. I had thought the interest might wane a few years after closing their store here and perhaps it may eventually, but so far it seems they are still at it.

So we like the colonies are good enough for occasional visits for them, but not for something permanent. Perhaps that is where the sense of snobbery comes from here in that we should be grateful someone came up with this wonderful idea and it somehow makes up for closing their permanent store here.

How long has it been since the Yellowhead Brewing Company was permanently closed? I wish one of the bigger microbreweries would take it over. And I also want Gene Dub to stay far away from them.

Having lived in a few communities around the province, I would love to see a Medicine Hat Brewing Company sister location pop up in Edmonton. Their creamsicle ale & their prickly pear sour are my two all-time favourites.

YES. Medicine Hat Brewing is fantastic. I also really love Valley Brewing out of Drumheller—they've got some incredible seasonal beers. Sea Change/Shiddy's could also use a cool DT location.

A few years ago the other half and I found a bunch of equipment from Yellowhead in a stairwell of her condo building. It was expensive diagnostic stuff for monitoring the fermentation. It was clearly labelled as theirs so we set about trying to figure out how to get it back to its rightful owner. We ended up contacting one of Dub's companies (Dub Architects, I think) by email because Yellowhead had shut down and that was the only bread crumbs to follow. Eventually we got a reply, and Dub showed up to pick this stuff up himself and gave us a Starbuck's gift card that we never used. It was such a surreal way to run an... anything.
 

Downtown Construction Updates​

  • Construction on Beaver Hills House Park and Michael Phair Park Renewal is progressing and the parks are expected to be open by the end of 2025.
  • Construction on Mary Burlie Park began this summer and will continue in 2026. The park is anticipated to be open in summer 2026.
  • Drainage work for Valley Line West is underway on 102 Avenue between 102 Street and 107 Street.
    • Traffic on 102 Avenue between 103 Street and 107 Street has been permanently reduced to one lane eastbound only.
    • Traffic between 102 Street and 103 Street has been banned. Pedestrian access has been maintained, but detours are in place. Northbound and southbound traffic has been maintained along 103 Street, 104 Street, 105 Street and 106 Street.
    • To accommodate this work, the bike lanes on 102 Avenue, between 103 Street and Railtown Park Trail (110 Street), have been temporarily relocated to 103 Avenue. The 103 Avenue bike lanes are connected to the city’s existing bike network and will be in place until the end of 2027.
    • The City and Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) continue to make steady progress on the 2025 accelerated roadwork plan, and construction continues along 104 Avenue between 105 and 121 Street. The work has reduced 104 Avenue to one lane eastbound and one lane westbound. This work is anticipated to continue for the remainder of the construction season.
  • Rehabilitation of Dawson Bridge is expected to begin late November and is anticipated to be completed in spring 2026. Construction activity is not expected to impact traffic in 2025 due to the introduction of a unique method.
    • The use of a barge will allow for installation of scaffolding from the river rather than the roadway.
    • In early 2026, single-lane alternating traffic will be in place for approximately one month to complete repairs. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are asked to follow on-site signage and direction from on-site personnel when temporary closures are in place. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of construction.
  • Imagine Jasper Avenue Stage 1 from 114 Street to 117 Street is expected to wrap up with all traffic lanes reopening on November 15. Construction will continue in spring 2026 on Stage 2 from 117 Street to 121 Street.
  • The 99 Streetscaping and Waterproof Project continues to progress. Work will continue throughout the winter and into spring 2026. The 99 Street entrance to the Citadel Theatre parkade has reopened, and waterproofing of the Stanley A. Milner Library parkade in front of the Westin Hotel has begun. Judy Padau Way will remain open to traffic until early 2026.
  • With the final design of the new Chinatown Gate now complete, the project team will be hosting two public information sessions to share details and renderings of the new gate.
    • The first session will be held November 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The second session will be held November 25, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Both sessions will be held at the TD Explorer Room on the second floor of the Stanley A. Milner Library in downtown Edmonton.
    • There will not be a formal presentation, so people can come and go at any time.
    • Project staff will be available to answer questions and share information about the design.
    • A small 3D model of the new gate will also be available to view. The same information will be available at both sessions, so there is no need to attend both.
