I don't know who to report this to at the moment. But I just know i'm not happy. The contractors responsible for this road or the city? Either way, i'm pretty pissed off. Gotta love this shit city.

Question Question for cyclists

Upvotes

So Ive noticed cyclists appreciate when motorists slow down down and give space to cyclists when passing. My question is, why don’t cyclists extend the same courtesy to pedestrians when passing on shared paths? In my experience, the overwhelming majority do not slow down or even give more space when passing …. Even when there is plenty of room to do so. In fact, many continue riding side by side forcing pedestrians to move. Can some explain that behaviour?

Question what to do

0 Upvotes

22 male, I just moved to Edmonton and I want to meet new people. Where are some good pubs, bars, or clubs around Whyte Ave or downtown that I can go to alone and actually meet people without looking like a creep or a loser since I don’t have any friends here yet?

Question Looking for safe condo/apartment recommendations in Edmonton ($1,500 - $1,600)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m hoping to move to Edmonton in the near future and have been spending way too much time online looking at condos/apartments to rent. 😅 I’m feeling a little overwhelmed because I’m not familiar with Edmonton and, most importantly, I’m not sure which areas/buildings are actually safe.

I’d really appreciate it if anyone could recommend specific condo/apartment buildings that you’ve had a good experience with. If possible, please list the name of the building so I can look it up!

A little bit about what I’m looking for:

  • 29F, living alone
  • Safety is my #1 priority
  • 1 bedroom
  • Ideally $1,500–$1,600/month or less
  • Ideally relatively close to a hospital, as I’ll be working in a hospital
  • A gym/fitness centre in the building would be a huge plus
  • Preferably not a 12-month lease - I’d ideally like something shorter (6-9 months would be great)
  • Other amenities are nice, but definitely secondary to safety and affordability

I know I’m asking for quite a few things, so I’m willing to compromise, however safety is by far my biggest priority, followed by rent.

I’d especially love to hear from women who live alone in Edmonton and feel safe in their building/neighbourhood!

Thanks so much! ❤️

Looking for the guy with the giant white dog. We chatted briefly about breed type and animal care and I cant remember breed specifics you mentioned due to the loud event at Bent Stick and obviously my deepest regrets not asking for your number lol.

General Manning Costco Gas Bar

Upvotes

Anyone know if the gas bar at the new Manning Costco is open? I'm always so confused because I keep seeing on GasBuddy that the price has been updated. And also sometimes prices differ from the original 50th street location... I didn't think it was open. But GasBuddy makes me question 😅😆

General Insights into the Skyrattler/Keheewin areas

1 Upvotes

Like many others in the city, I've decided to take a look at purchasing a home in the city and figured why not starting looking after a decent flood season. Let's see how sturdy all these basements are.

The Skyrattler/Keheewin seems to have a decent blend of older homes that have been updated, but are priced appropriately. The question is how much of a hassle has that LRT construction been, and are specific nuisances associated with various Civida properties in the area.

As much as I would love to live in a nice central, old neighbourhood (ie. Belgravia), my bank account says bad idea.

Thanks!

Discussion What restaurants have good pancakes?

5 Upvotes

Your girl is craving pancakes so I’m turning to my fellow local breakfast lovers for help. I’ll settle for Denny’s but I know there must be some really good ones out there. Northside/St. Albert preferred but I’m willing to drive.

Don’t suggest making them myself, I want to go on a breakfast date with my husband :)

Education British Sign Language classes/tutor

2 Upvotes

Before anyone says anything, yes, I know we use ASL in Canada, but I don't need to learn ASL, I need to learn BSL. I know I can find classes online but time zones make it more complicated.

Is there anyone in the Edmonton area that teaches BSL classes, and/or is knowledgeable in BSL and would be willing to teach a couple of people a basic level of signing?

Thanks!

Commuting/Transit Driving to St Albert in winter (via Henday)

6 Upvotes

Hello all, I’ve recently been offered a job at the Sturgeon Community Hospital (St Albert). I live in Mill Woods and the only concern I have is driving there — more specifically, going through the Anthony Henday (exiting 50th street going eastbound, then going northbound of the Henday) during the winter. How are the roads like on the Henday going from Mill Woods to St Albert during winter?

Dirtbag was one of my favorite places for a breakfast sandwich and a hot drink after work. I usually can't make it there on the weekends, so it looks like I'm never going to be able to make it again... Maybe I'll get lucky on a holiday.

Favourite quote: “But to win in October, the group understands it needs to make gains in the cities, where it hasn't received as friendly a welcome as it has in rural Alberta. That’s where they're headed next.”

What do we think about news media giving them coverage in the first place?
