Edmonton Walkabout
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 12/09/2007 09:10:46Updated by Joel Dixon at 09/09/2008 14:32:43
This past Saturday I needed to go to the local Save on Foods grocery store, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to provide a short guided tour of downtown Edmonton.
Around the town in Edmonton
Now, a disclaimer: I won't be showcasing the nicest parts of the city, but it's fairly representative of Edmonton. Firstly, my personal hill:
I've gotta climb this hill at least once a day, maybe twice. I'm getting used to it now - but it was hell the first few times. I surely didn't notice the hill when I was researching the place!
An example of the very common Edmonton construction
Canada has US style crossing signs. I don't know, call me colourist, but I prefer the green guy.
There are heaps of these single-story, unfenced public car parks throughout the city.
Street newspaper stands
A certain Australian comedy group made big news over here as well - probably wouldn't have heard of it if they didn't pretend to be Canadian
There's more phone booths over here, as far as I can tell
No ordinary plumber? You're damn right!
My local foodary
The local electronics store, Future Shop. They've got lots of cool stuff - but their customer service leaves a lot to be desired
I've also added geotags to all of my photos - so if you go to my flickr page you can see a map of where each photo was taken, for example:
