Might encourage a few more spots in Commerce to get re-leased.

How a neighbourhood restaurant in Edmonton is defying all odds
Northlands Coliseum, the former home of the Edmonton Oilers, is slated for demolition this summer after opening in 1974. Just a short walk west is Coliseum Steak & Pizza, which is celebrating 50 years in business — outlasting its namesake. The CBC’s Sean Newton visited the neighbourhood institution to find out what's behind the restaurant’s success.

A very solid smoked meat sandy at the Patricia St. Deli; I was amazed at the size and space in there.

I went back to The Druid for dinner. The place was reasonably busy because of the Super Bowl, which I found to be devoid of interest. This time I had the Irish Beef Stew along with a pint of Guinness - highly recommended!

Ventured out to Edgemont and Aria Cafe just off Lessard road. Very much worth the trek. French style cafe. Great pastries, But I also noticed they do a dinner service as well.
My wife and I would head out on a day we had nothing planned and ho to a brewery but now it seems we are hitting up new cafes.

Solar on jasper and 104st getting very close. LOVE how it feels walking by now, especially when you come up from Bay LRT.
Expect breakfast/brunch/lunch and maybe some other surprises.

I've heard it's quite nice, and I've been meaning to make the trek out there as well. Also heard it's a bit pricey even by today's standards though too.

So I hear and it sounds like it will encompass more than that space.

Would be nice to see a bit of a facade update.

It was relatively priced and did not shock my. But we care about quality more than pricing. It was still quite busy though. One of the staff told us that we can make a reservation.

when I was working on the Covenant centre in Millwood's I knew Square one was moving in there. They had their sign up even before the place was open.
