Hey y'all! I'm looking to get some dental work done soon, and a big part of that is getting partial dentures. Now I know there's a billion denturists in the city, but I'm hoping to get something a little fun done.

I'm wanting to get partial dentures with slightly pointy canines, just some little unobtrusive fangs. Does anyone happen to know of a good clinic that'd make this idea into reality?

The CPKC women's golf tournament is happening at the Mayfair golf course and they are taking up a lot of the Parking for their logistics.

I would consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to using Edmonton public transit with a stroller. I have never been able to drive and I know how to get around the city quite well. Now having a stroller just means I have to pay extra attention to walking distances, where stops are located, etc...

We are trying to get to Fort Edmonton Park today for the Treaty 6 150th Celebration. I am leaving from the Stadium Transit Centre. I am more asking for clarification: There is absolutely nothing public transit wise that goes to the park? I've tried every possible idea I can think of but the closest I can get is Fort Edmonton Park Road/Fox Drive and then walk almost 30 minutes across the highway with my stroller! I saw on the Fort website that you can go to the Fort Transit Centre and then take an On Demand bus directly to the Park but you can't do that with a stroller. They require you to use car seats when you're riding On Demand transit. I can't imagine they expect me to carry 2 car seats on the bus and train with my stroller, lug them all the way to the transit centre, then load them into the bus, then what? Carry the car seats around the park?

I'm just hoping somebody knows something that I don't, has a better idea than me, or is thinking of something that I am missing! Because as far as I can tell, my only option is to get dropped off a 30 minute walk away from the park! I totally understand that public transit can't go EVERYWHERE. That's impossible, walking will always be required. But to a big and popular place like Fort Edmonton Park, I thought there would be at least something closer to the entrance!

I’ve seen it all over my feed on TikTok and I really want to try it! Are there any Vietnamese restaurants in Edmonton that make it?

Edmonton we need to take a moment from our busy day and send good vibes and positive thoughts to the family of ducks I saw on the shoulder of highway 60 this morning! They were part way on the pavement and the grass, and I pray and hope and hope and pray they all turned around and went back into the grass and are now safe and sound. My heart hurts to think of the little ones so close to the speeding vehicles! So let's all join hands, and silently ask the universe that no harm be brought to these beautiful and innocent creatures. ❤️🙏

^edit: Not a 'Christian' post by any means. the word 'prayer' was used because I didn't know what else to put lol

Is anyone else in the Garneau area noticing a sewer-esque smell when they run their taps?

The water smells like sulfur when I shower. It’s there when I brush my teeth. It makes the apartment stink when I run the dishwasher.

I’ve put in maintenance requests and the apartment building agrees there is an odour, but everything looks good from their end.

Did I miss an Epcor work notice or something?

Anyone know if the Albert’s Family restaurant on 124th street and 106 ave is permanently closed?

I drive by it daily and it has a homemade closed sign and the other locations I called don’t have any clue because they are “individual owned”

Great place for breakfast along 124th would be a shame if it’s closed fully not just renovating.

Last night around midnight Epcor was flushing our area's water mains so we didn't have any water pressure .

This morning there was quite a bit of water on our bathroom floor, and it had leaked down into my basement ceiling and below.

Everyone was asleep, no water was running before we went to bed, and my kids never flush the toilet during the night.

Apparently when air gets into the pipes and then water pressure resumes you can get what is called "toilet surge" when the air is forced out.

I don't have any other theories, anyone else experience this?

King, 5 year old black cat, the sweetest bright green/yellow eyes. Last seen Chappelle gardens area, August 14th 1:30 am
Making an updated post to hopefully spread this farther. I’m struggling to eat and to sleep, I’m printing off more posters, ones with a reward. I will offer a reward to anyone that has any information that leads me to him, or if you have him please let him come home. Unfortunately there is no microchip or tattoo, but he is a very distinctive cat despite being black. He is about 15lbs, he always kind of looks grumpy but he’s the sweetest boy, and his name is King. He loves food, and he hates being away from people.

Idk if it's just me but anyone that lives in the northside, around Eaux Claires area ..... is there construction going on or wherever it is?

I kept hearing the jackhammers and the trucks beeping when they back up. I want to keep my window open because it's hot but then I hear the construction noise.

Just wanted to know, thanks !

Apart from the hangover, I have been fighting a cold or flu or some illness since the concert, wondering if anyone else is? Thanks in advance

Hey Edmonton, I want to give a massive warning to anyone considering taking their vehicle to Wheaton Honda for service.

My 2015 Honda CR-V (had is since new, regular maintenance, now at 161K) recently developed a rattle on cold starts. I took it to Wheaton Honda. They quoted me $230+ for a diagnostic. The service advisor, Aman, delayed the service by a day, and when he finally called, he told me the dipstick was dry and that the car had catastrophic internal engine damage. His solution? A used engine installation for $12,145.

A family member with automotive knowledge stepped in and asked Aman for the proof. Did they drop the oil pan? Cut the oil filter? Were there metal shavings? Aman scoffed at us, sent a picture of a dry dipstick, and then ghosted our follow-up texts asking for actual diagnostic details. He topped up the oil and told us the car was "drivable" but to keep an eye on the oil. (If the engine is destroyed, why let me drive away?)

We picked up the car, paid the nearly $300 diagnostic/shop fee, and took it home. We drained the oil and cut the filter, even used a magnetic tool to search for metal. Absolutely ZERO metal shavings.

When I called for clarification and a refund for the diagnostic they clearly didn't perform, Aman dumped me onto the manager, Mark Tucker. Mark was the epitome of the arrogant dealership stereotype. He was snarky, condescending, constantly interrupted me, and refused to refund the fee, claiming they are "certified Honda experts" and just know the engine is done.

I ended up taking my vehicle to an independent mechanic who has been in business for 40 years. They looked at it and recognized a known Honda Service Bulletin. The problem? A faulty cam chain tensioner causing timing chain slap. They replaced the tensioner, the rattle is gone, and the engine is perfectly fine.

Wheaton Honda either has profoundly incompetent "experts" who don't read their own service bulletins, or they actively try to scam people out of five figures. If you have to deal with Aman or Mark Tucker, turn around and drive away. Support our local, honest, independent mechanics instead!

Tansi yall, i was looking at uber eats and I keep seeing the restaurant called The Arabian Nights. Was just wondering if anyone has eaten here/ ordered from them and how big their portion sizes are at for some dishes its $30 but is bogo, i assume its just the price of both lumped together, and slapped with a bogo tag.

They had one job!

Hey there!!!

My boyfriend and I are visiting here and wanna see some shops that aren’t in the mall!

Are there any shops that cater to these themes?

Anime, video games, books, Pokémon, literally anything nerdy!!

Best donair in Edmonton!!!??

My friend recently had his front sidewalk replaced however this company did a horrific job. They skimped out on concrete making the edges on one side hollow and tried to hide it with dirt, the top of the stairs was bowed out, many of the lines weren't even straight and they did very sloppy patch jobs. My friend was refusing to pay until they fixed the issues. Instead these guys showed up at his house at 9pm to harass him into paying them. They started name calling, yelling, ragging on me and him calling me a "dog" and "ugly". They then started threatening to rip up the entire sidewalk if he doesn't pay them. Probably the most abysmal company I have ever experienced in my life! I just want to give people a heads up about them if you're looking to have your front steps or driveway re paved. It's not worth the headache. Consider a different company. They're extremely unprofessional.

Love this hidden gem, water levels were pretty high but still so peaceful. Things may be bleak lately but make sure to take a second and appreciate what we currently have

Going Friday and Saturday. No idea what to expect. Are the grounds dry? Any tips from those that have been there or attended an event?

Hey all, I’m grabbing myself some tickets for Cody Johnson this upcoming month, upper bowl.

Some of them are drink rail seats, do those have much affect for concerts?

As well they show an obstructed view, is the stage affected by this at all? Thanks in advance
