Hello! I am new to town and looking to get a massage next week (gotta use up those employees benefits). I have very sensitive skin to pressure and truly enjoy a softer relaxtion massage. Anyone have anywhere they would recommend and with a specific massage therapist?

I'm trying to look for physical games for the Series X. Other than big box stores (EB, BB, LD, WM), the only other shop I know is Nex Wave Games. Are there any other used/new game stores in town?

Halloween always makes me feel a bit nostalgic of what it was like as a kid. So I’m wondering what fond memories others have of Halloween in Edmonton?

Some of mine that come to mind:
-Field trips to the Scarecrow festival at the expo centre.

-Going down to the “rich” houses along Ada Boulevard and getting our king size chocolate bars or cans of pop.

-dressing up for school and having a huge school wide pumpkin carving session in the gymnasium.

Please keep the Halloween spirit alive for the little ones! I’m so excited I get to take my toddler trick r’ treating for the first time this weekend. Hope you all have a great one!

I used to go to Matrix salon for my hair when my stylist was there. It's been years, so I'm genuinely curious what the salon is like right now? Is Kelly still the owner?

I need to get an all over trim and my undercut reshaved. I've had some terrible cuts and worried I'll get another one.

I love the idea of using the pedways in the winter, went to a movie and had drinks at District 102 last night! was great.. so questions:

1. Do you live in a pedway connected building/what is your experience?

2. Is the new "station lands" pedway open yet?

3. Is the city ever planning to try and keep the pedways open later? would love to go for walks on cold winter nights and check out shops/entertainment

4. I know their is rogers, landmark, some restaurants but any other things in there that are cool on evenings/weekends?

Hey Edmonton artists!

Just dropping in to let everyone know about the Doodlebugs November Calendar

Discord full of art chat, resources, collab opportunities, and memes

Coming up: Doodles and Grand Slams! Come on down to Dennys downtown from 600PM-900PM for a non-instructural drawing hangout! I'll bring a few supplies but feel free to bring anything you want to work on.

There is no theme, no instructor, and no pressure. Just grab a coffee, and sketch whatever catches your eye.

I have experience and certificates and ways to get into certain industries.

What are some good jobs to go after?

Im open to answering guiding questions in the comments, thanks.

My wife I have been spending our weekends enjoying Hawrelak park. We live in the Capilano neighborhood, and walk our dog daily through this park. An on occasion, Golbar, Fulton and Rundle. All of which we love, and are beautiful in their own way.

The one thing I noticed right away about Hawrelak park that I love, is the mass planting of grasses and dogwoods. It looks amazing and seems like such a simple way to add interest along the paths. I wonder if others feel the same. It has me walking the Capilano Park paths thinking, if they aren't adding more trees along the path, why not more native grasses and shrubs.

Anyone have experience at Kids included for the Developmental assistant role? just wondering if you're paid mileage and how the work environment is.

Hi all!
To keep this as succinct as I can: a couple months ago a lady we have seen in the neighbourhood since we moved in almost 5 years ago approached me in my driveway stating that she had become unhoused. We knew she was always lower income and used to leave our empties out for her and she’d stop to say thanks and chat or whatever. When she mentioned she was now homeless she asked if she could keep a couple things on our driveway-kind of hiding out of sight. Fine, no problem. Then she mentioned that she noticed an empty shed on our property that was accessible from outside the yard. So she asked if she could move some stuff into it. Then she told me a story about how her AISH had gotten messed up and she couldn’t always afford to stay in a motel. She asked if she could hang out in the shed every once in a while. She ran an extension cord from the garage, was smoking in there, tripped the breaker a few times, and was urinating and defecating in the driveway. I sent her a text message politely informing her that she couldn’t stay in there anymore. I got no response so I wrote a note and left it with her stuff. I happened to peek into the shed and see what looked like an entire houseful of stuff in there. She sought me out and told me she found a room and would start moving her things. That was 2 weeks ago already. She’s obviously still staying in the shed. There’s been more garbage, empty booze boxes, food packages, etc. And yes, still evidence of bathroom activities.
I called 211 and they suggested the best course of action is to involve the police. She has been grateful and kind and I really don’t want to have to call the cops.
Any advice? Unkind comments will not be tolerated-that is not the point of this post.

Took our little space loving dude down to Churchill Square to check out Galactic Atmosphere!

To those who live in Edgemont/The Uplands, how do you guys commute to university? Do you guys take the bus or drive entirely there. I am living in the neighborhood now and there are no bus routes close to my house and I unfortunately don’t even fall in the area for the on demand service. I go to the UofA (living on the west end of uplands) so I would appreciate any tips.

Caught the moon over Mill Creek (south, at 17 St) on my way home from the Meadows Rec Centre this evening.

Looking for recommendations on a good auto insurance broker

Hi!!

I’m a loyal Calgarian, but due to life circumstances I found myself being forced to moved to Edmonton 😅

Whenever I say this in Calgary all I get are condolences haha.

Has anyone moved from Calgary to Edmonton? What are the pros and cons?

To Edmontonians, what do you love most about living here?

Thanks in advance lol!

I grew some chocolate mint (Mentha x Piperita F. Citrata) this summer and discovered that it's great with English Breakfast tea. Sadly I have run out and spearmint just isn't scratching that itch. Does anyone know if I could buy dried chocolate mint anywhere?

I'm not looking for tea that tastes like chocolate and mint, I'm specifically looking for Mentha x Piperita F. Citrata. I have already checked Acquired Taste's catalogue and done some google searches. I have found one person in Nova Scotia who sells chocolate mint, but shipping is expensive.

How is the East/West Whitemud as well as the Terwillegar Drive rush hour traffic now that the Rainbow Valley Bridge construction has wrapped up?

We get it. It must be so hard living with a micro penis. Thoughts and prayers.

Replacement of existing unit. No hvac/duct work or whatever the it’s called. Just remove old unit and replace new one.

Also suggestions for suppliers/ vendors?

Edit: 3.5 ton Lennox unit, 42000 btu. It uses R22.

Thanks

I was so disgusted to see you standing on the corner of 90ave and 175st making your young kids approach random people and hand out religious propaganda while you sat and watched them. Not only are you endangering your kids by making them approach random people, but they were also going close to the road to hand out your pamphlets.

Let your kids go home and do better.

I have a lot of mini holes in my walls that I want to get repaired. I tried doing it myself but clearly I am not good at it. Does anyone know of a handyman or business that is reputable for this type of stuff?

Hey from the Czech Republic! I'm a hockey journalist heading to Edmonton for the World Juniors, and I've got a question for the locals...

This year, I was put in charge of booking my own accommodation, so I just typed "Rogers Place" into Airbnb, hoping to find something within walking distance so I wouldn't have to deal with buses or public transit. I found a nice place for a good price north of the arena, about a 15-minute walk away, and booked it right away.

Then I started reading the reviews, and a few people mentioned that the neighborhood wasn't exactly the safest. I checked Google Street View and noticed quite a few homeless people and drug users hanging around the area. Unfortunately, I didn't think about anything like this before.

So... should I actually be worried and maybe start looking for somewhere else to stay? I'm fully expecting to come across some people high on drugs or passed out on the sidewalks, but what I'm really wondering about is my own safety, especially when walking back from games at night.

Minneapolis and St. Paul weren't exactly great last year either, but I survived.
