Open air on 104 Street in summer and City Hall in winter cost the market and vendors almost nothing.

Farmer's markets are about the experience as much as the haul.

City Hall never really felt like a great space for the market - it did not flow well.

That it didn't, but it was bright, inviting, had washrooms, accessibility, heated parking and LRT.

^It worked for about 1/3 of the vendors that are year-round, was free, and activated City Hall and the Arts District on Saturdays.

It felt less that and more that people just didn't know it existed.

They are getting $NIL for the space now which has been empty for a couple of years and unlike the current space the market is using it is not really old with potentially high maintenance costs.

Bad news: Looks like T. Kettle is already closed.
Good news: Country Chic should be opening soon.

Chalk another one up.
ECC will no longer be hosting the Edmonton Int't Film Fest.
Are Landmark Theatres not long for this world here? Likely completely separate items/issues/decisions, but EIFF used to drive a lot of promotion and awareness of the theatres.

I don't know why they will no longer be hosting the Int'l Film Fest. I suppose its relevant because it is coming up soon, but I don't think having it or not will make a big difference for the theaters or the mall.
There are more people working and coming downtown in the last several months and downtown is noticeably busier even though it is summer. A few new stores have come in, or are coming, which is nice. In the end gradually filling up the retail space a bit more is the crucial thing, but it will take time.

City Centre Mall has added more security and it looks busy at lunch. I’m sure there will be more stores coming when the Valley Line opens.

Fingers crossed. The amount of stores is directly related to foot traffic through the mall.
