Something went down on Anthony Henday — Reddit's buzzing but details are still coming in. If you're commuting the ring road rn, expect delays.
Someone referred to Kipnes Urology Centre in December 2024 is still waiting — it's now October 2026 and still no appointment scheduled. The system sends a reminder letter every 90 days like clockwork. No date. No queue position. Just "you're still waiting."
Someone witnessed what looked like a police chase or evasion on Whitemud at the exit to 91st this morning, but nothing's shown up in the news yet. Anyone else see it?
LRT peace officers are now pulling up passengers' info when you tap your card to verify it's actually yours. Never happened before — is this a new random check thing or what?
Three Edmonton pharmacies gave different (and more limited) eligibility lists for free AB Blue Cross COVID vaccines than what the AB government website says. Mental health issues qualify on the government site but not at some pharmacies. 811 says pharmacies should cover it. If you're under 65 and think you qualify, public health clinics might be safer.
Calgary Trail and a residential road near Midway are blocked off by police during rush hour, forcing detours for commuters heading home. Nobody seems to know why yet.
New indie bookshop Second Shelf Books has its grand opening this weekend in Edmonton's French Quarter — cookies and all. The store is dedicated to Noah, the owner's son. Go support local.
Free film festival at The Roxy Theatre this November 12 — African storytelling, short films from diaspora filmmakers, interactive games, and audience voting for the winning film. completely free, grab your tickets on Eventbrite.
Someone quoted $1,500/month for a 2-bed basement suite and asking if that's the going rate or if they're getting overcharged. Thread's full of people weighing whether it makes more sense to just buy a condo at that price.
Someone tried to buy Nickelback tickets for their dad's Christmas gift this morning — 50,000 people in queue, 15 minutes to the front, and almost everything was already resold at $500 a pop. Ticketmaster says they stop bots; clearly not happening.
Someone spotted tiny points of light moving in different directions over 42 Street and 122 Ave NW around 8 p.m. Thursday — not satellites, not planes. One stopped then zoomed off. Still unconfirmed.
Picklefest sold out but someone's got the day off and is desperately hunting for tickets. Will hop the fence. Probably won't. Will definitely cry in their room.
flu and covid shots just started rolling out early because so many people are sick rn. Crestwood Apothecary on 142 and 96 has Novavax if you want it; some Safeway pharmacies too if you call ahead.
advanced voting's already rolling and people are saying get there if you can—under 15 minutes, though you gotta fill out 10 separate ballots and they're asking for QR code check-in. parking's tight, don't wait til Monday.
someone on r/Edmonton got so many sunset pics from their window yesterday they asked the community to share theirs too. whole thread is golden-hour magic rn.
the autumnal colours around YEG have been beautiful the last few weeks—trees are absolutely hitting their peak right now.
yesterday's wind storm left its mark all over the city. people are still posting photos of the damage and debris.
someone's reading books 13 stories in the sky. pretty serene way to spend an afternoon if you've got the height tolerance.
someone on Reddit is asking which McDonald's playplace beats the Calgary Trail location for kids—trying to break the repetitive cycle. sounds like there's a whole network of them around YEG. any good recs?
Advance voting for Alberta's referendum is happening at Hall H in the Edmonton Expo Centre — and parking's free if you show up to cast your ballot. The facility owners aren't allowing Elections AB to post directional signs in the lot, so complaining to Administration on level 4 might help.
