Complaining about todays youth is about as old as society itself.... Not saying service wasn't bad, but "todays youths are lazy" is a bit of an eyeroll.


"[Young people] are high-minded because they have not yet been humbled by life, nor have they experienced the force of circumstances....They think they know everything, and are always quite sure about it"
  • Rhetoric, Aristotle
    4th Century BC

"Whither are the manly vigour and athletic appearance of our forefathers flown? Can these be their legitimate heirs? Surely, no; a race of effeminate, self-admiring, emaciated fribbles can never have descended in a direct line from the heroes of Potiers and Agincourt"

“Many [young people] were so pampered nowadays that they had forgotten that there was such a thing as walking, and they made automatically for the buses… unless they did something, the future for walking was very poor indeed.”

I really dont understand the economics of doing this, and why its so common. The nearest TD is literally 2 blocks away.
 
Ran some errands downtown today and parked in the Connect Centre parkade and must say I'm very impressed with the progression that's been done in the area! The skating rink was decently populated and was just nice to have a central area that people/families could come for an outing. It's almost like we're in Toronto hehe
 
I walked to the Connect Centre about 5 pm. The Icehouse had a lineup, so I went upstairs to the Banquet which was busy - their Bahn Mi Burger was good, my Stella went down fine, and my bartender Madison is awesome, with the only blemish being that they were out of Guinness. The Oilers Store was packed with shoppers, and the Grand Villa Casino was hopping. After the game, I went back to these places and they were still busy. The Banquet was in nightclub mode c/w a DJ spinning tunes and spinning lights. I'll try the Banquet again during a non-game night.

We were at the Marriott hotel last night for the game and after and the place sure was hopping. Friend from Calgary was very impressed as were the rest of us old Edmontonians.
 
I echo all of the comments above. Went to the game and sticked around after, and the place.was hopping all around, up until at least 1am, when I went home.
We need to have more of this happen in non-game days... It really felt like a whole different city!
