Edmonton actually is a pretty nice city on the south side of the ditch but they're ruining it with the skidtrains pumping bums into the better areas.

I lived there in the 90’s, and then again for a couple of years in 2004-8.

In the 90’s, it had a kind of blue-collar community vibe which was good, in an honest way. Yeah, the LRTs and the stations could sometimes be a zoo, and Chinatown was sketchy AF, but I liked it.

Come back, and it’s gone cold. Everybody just there to make their money and spend it, and fuck anyone else. Just not the same place.

But don’t get me started about their fans when they’re winning - same as it ever was.

It really does have a great system of parks, trails and green space all through the river valley as well as the ravines.

It's the sketchoids meth freaks lurking in those bushes that make it not very nice.

I like Blob's party barge idea

Edmonton, just like Calgary is great, except for the people, climate, crime, meth heads, traffic, etc.
In other words, not places I would want to live. Yeah I know - the climate here in Olds is about the same, but everything else is great.

You've got great meth-heads there?

Yeah we do - they actually have places to live other than on the streets

Whenever I am in Olds I see a lot of old people and think... did they come for the name? Like a geriatric batman beacon?

Yeah I moved here to Olds a year ago. PM me when you get here - I'm always up for going for a beer!

Yeah, that's one of the first things my wife said when we moved here - lots of retired people. I'm in a new area and it is at least 80% retired people, including many retired farmers and people from other provinces such as BC and Ontario. So, I fit right in

Next time you're down here, we should go for a beer
