Edmonton

“The real opportunity is innovation and recognizing that, as much as it is quite controversial, the traditional 50-foot lot is probably dead in the region.”

I do find it sad when walking around the older neighborhoods and between all the interesting looking houses and gardens there's this growing number of bauhaus style houses squashed into lots that used to have single homes. Sure, I get that there is a need for more homes, there absolutely is, but seeing the future is going to be more density and less individual personality is saddening.

Actually though. I kinda like the sideways rain we were getting this afternoon. I walked across a parking lot and only one side of me was wet :D

I'm looking for a hand to build out this community and raise awareness. The r/Edmonton mods on Reddit are not interested in supporting this community nor did they shut down during the Reddit Blackout, so it looks like we're on our own.

I'd love to see a thriving community full of interactions, events, stories, and updates. News articles, festivals, and even garage sales would be great!

Nice thunder crackles near downtown so far at 8:30 in the morning. I was already at work typing away when it happened, but I'm guessing some folks got a startle!

We have pride month, indigenous peoples month, sustainival, drag fest, blues fest, and pride week in Fort Saskatchewan. There's lots going on!

Hey everyone,Here is my updated neighbourhood crests map from 2015! As Edmonton continues to grow, so will the number of neighbourhoods. The crests below reflect the stories and histories of Edmonton's neighbourhood. Please share your stories of your neighbourhoods below (these crests are not final and should evolve too!). If you neighbourhood is not on here let me know and let's collaborate on a crest! If you want to see more of my project you can visit https://www.wherewearefrom.com/

Mine is that we have the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America
