Ok, so I have lived here my whole life and never knew we had a "Little Italy"

You've never been to the Italian Centre? Giovanni Caboto Park (which is wonderful btw)? Tony's? Zocalo (maybe the best gem in all of Edmonton)?

 

[KyleBlanchett]

I have been to the Italian Centre on 170th but never to the " Italian Centre "

I don't ever recall seeing this angle befroe.

I am fairly sure that we built this back in the day as my great grandfather only took photos of his own signs. This would be a awesome sign to go in the neon sign museum.
