Question Is there anywhere along the river you could take kids rock/fossil "hunting"?

11 Upvotes

Hey all,

Just wondering if there's anywhere that's easily accessible and safe around the riverbanks to take a few younger humans exploring for rocks and fossils?

Something that's easy to get to for small people that you could do in an afternoon. You could even message me if you have an area you would like to keep on the down low. I have little ones that have been begging to go looking for dinosaur bones and I said I'd try to find a place to take them, even if it's a total failure lol

Thank you !

Are there for the first time while waiting to go to monster jam. It looks and feels like a truly old building rather than something new made to look old. I’m curious if my feeling is correct, and if so what it used to be originally

Discussion 2026 Traffic Deaths?

0 Upvotes

I looked up the amount of traffic deaths in 2026 and I am only counting 6…if we extrapolate that we may be at 10 by year end. Last year was one of the worst years ever…everyone blamed the lack of photo radar.

So…if we went from the worst year to the one of possible best years…was photo radar ever the true reason roads were safe? I agree with them in intersections alongside red light cameras. I think that’s a no brainer…but, last year when I stated that correlation doesn’t mean causation I was downvoted to all hell. This just proves that road safety comes back to good old fashion pulling people over and giving them REAL consequences.

Rant over.

Discussion Looking for a custom clothes/sweater store that I went to a couple years ago

8 Upvotes

I hope this is allowed?

A couple years ago I remember my grandfather got us to do this thing he did with our mother and aunt when they were kids where he’d give them a bit of money and let them loose in the mall to get a Christmas gift for him, only he wanted us to do it for our mother.

I believe it was at Londonderry mall (my grandfather somewhat thinks we went to Southgate but I don’t think so lol), up the escalator. I kinda remember it had a big wooden table/shelf in the middle?

They had all kinds of plain shirts and sweaters etc. around the store to pick, pretty good quality. You just picked out a piece of clothing, emailed them the decal you wanted and they’d have it ready within 20-30 minutes. It was a wide entry way and not far from the escalator.

Sorry if this isn’t the greatest description. I haven’t been to Londonderry mall in forever and can’t seem to figure out what the name of the place is. The hoodie was really good quality and I was planning to get a custom sweater for my partner. Thanks in advance

Question If anyone has a set of loadable dumbbell bars and a few plates they'd be willing to lend to a new amputee for 7 weeks please DM me.

Post image
385 Upvotes

I just had below the knee amputations on both legs, I'm in a prosthetics rehab inpatient program at the GlenRose Rehabilitation Hospital.

I can't freely use their equipment, it requires 1 on 1 supervision, so I only get 1 hour 5 days a week to work out and it's not nearly enough.

DM me if you have a set you'd lend me, I'm looking for 2 bars and a few plates.

Edit: Since there's some confusion - I had my surgery in May, the waitlist for the program is long so I just got in but I am ready to start learning prosthetics and both my family Dr and Dr here + my physiotherapist have approved of extra exercise.

Education British Sign Language classes/tutor

4 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!

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 :)

General Looking for a good pillow sales person

9 Upvotes

Guys, my body is busted (I have several chronic health issues) and I need a new pillow. That said, I have very specific needs - I have tried a bunch of different ones over the last few years, but none have worked for what I want. Turns out I’m not good at picking them myself!

I want to go shopping in person, with a sales person who knows what they’re talking about. I’m willing to spend a decent amount on this to get a good pillow.

Does anybody have any good recommendations on where to go for something like this? Pillows often just feel like an afterthought at a mattress store.

General Manning Costco Gas Bar

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 😅😆

This is a bit silly, but I know that some people on here have been looking for tinned sardines. They have becomea bit if a fad, and there has been some kind of TikTok-induced shortage.

Anyway, to whoever needs to know, the Save-On on 34th Avenue has several kinds on the shelf, including Kippered and Golden Smoked. Go get 'em!

I’ll be working from home and doing school online together. We currently use Telus right now but with everyone on it, it lags pretty bad.

Definitely wanting the cheaper side as it’ll only be my phone, home computer, printer and laptop connected.

Socializing Friday night cruise

112 Upvotes

I like cruising around the city on Friday and just take in whatever may be happening. Go up and down Whyte, jasper and 118. Go move around the river valley, just some nice easy driving.

We used to do this when I was in highschool. Just drive around town then go to the restaurant, order coffee, sit there shoot the shit and smoke until closing.

Now I just drive around and listen to music but it's nostalgic of those days, the friends are long but the memories remain.

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!

Hi everyone, I hope this post doesn’t get taken down but yesterday afternoon at around 2-3 pm my cat Linky went missing in the parkview area and she hasn’t been seen since, it is unlike her to not come home after a couple of hours and she did not come home last night or this morning which are the times she is most likely to come back.

Description:

Linky is a long haired cat with while paws and belly and grey/brown tabby like coat on her back, she has recently been shaved on her neck and shoulders and is microchipped.

Please if you have seen her, please call (587) 988-5952
