Looks decent, but most importantly it'll add some much need residents to the downtown.

Exactly my thoughts. Put a basketball court there in the summer and try for an ice rink in the winter, at least until it's ready for build out.

They seem to be building steam finally. If they can carry on with a 3 wins to 1 loss ratio the rest of the season and into the playoffs, we'll be good.

That's fair, especially for females. It's a different experience for them, and myself, being a 6'2" 220lb male sometimes forget what it's like for others. I was discussing this issue with a buddy on the weekend, and he sent me a link to this Youtube video. Edmonton seems to be front and centre...

The latter. I get that there is a real issue with sketchiness around downtown and the lrt stations, but to swear off it from one incident seems a bit much. I use the lrt a fair bit and don't encounter issues very often. For a lot of people the issues get blown out of proportion.

So frustrating. I have to keep reminding myself, this is only the regular season, and as long as the make the playoffs, that's when the real hockey starts. I look at Colorado on paper, and if we get solid or decent goaltending, I don't see Colorado being a better team, yet they are 33-4. We...

This is great. Uzbek, isn't a powerhouse, but they're much better than the countries we used to play against like the Cayman Islands.

The public perception is the most frustrating part. Most of the time things are fine, I've used Churchill numerous times and never encountered anything other than a few sketchy types here and there. My sister rarely uses the lrt, and the last time she used it at churchill there was a fight on...

Beating the Jets is great and all, but they suck. If the Oilers beat the Kings, I'll feel like for sure they've turned things around.

They only go once or twice a year, and she does most of her shopping in Edmonton. It isn't so much for the stores itself, but more to have a 'downtown' shopping experience I think, for example the last time they went, she came back with bags of stuff from Simons and H&M, and we have a Simons 10...

It’s a vicious cycle. My wife and her friends go down to Calgary fairly often for shopping trips but rarely go to downtown Edmonton. It’s not that they’re afraid of downtown, downtown Calgary also has crime and homeless people, but they claim in downtown Edmonton there aren’t enough options. I...

Re: The nail salon, I would prefer a restaurant, pub or cafe, but a nail salon is still a business and it still beats a bank. At least it will be open after hours. At this point I'm happy for any business wanting to open downtown. We all like downtown and would like to see it do better, but in...

Flames are back to normal now, so I guess even the worst teams have their winning stretches.

Man, Winnipeg sure has hit the skids though. I thought they would be right up there, but they're even below the Flames in the standings. 😲 Nice to see the Oilers pick up a win at the Jets expense.

Residents are a big key, but as IanO mentioned, we need at least twice the amount, maybe even triple the amount. There's a critical mass that brings about more retail, and more retail brings more people into downtown and more people out of there apartments. More events is another thing, but I'm...
