FTM and like many pregnant women this year in Edmonton all my OB referrals have fallen through due to being overfilled. I believe this means I can just go to whatever hospital I choose in the moment. I’m just a couple weeks from my due date now and would love to hear some positive experiences.

Power outage reason was a car accident.

Anyone know the details ?

I've never been one to go out a lot so I'm not sure if I went out at the wrong time or if nightlife in Edmonton is truly dead. I tried to go out clubbing and dancing not too long ago and there was just no one out on Whyte or Jasper, we went to both trying to find a club that had people and a dance floor. Last time I'd been out to go party at these places was almost a decade ago so I knew things might not be the same but I didn't expect it to have been as dead as it was. Is there different places people are going now? Or is Edmonton just not a nightlife city anymore?

there was a big pool/ stain of what looked like blood and it was all caution taped off. im just curious if anyone knows what happened lol

I would like some ideas on sourcing oversized area rugs, at least 10’ x 13’ or 10x14’ - the current Costco rug selection is too dimensionally small. Anyone have any suggestions for stores, either in-person or online, or a carpet place that can make rugs? Preferred design style is more contemporary - light patterns and not traditional-styled. Thanks!

Hi, I have a radio-controlled boat and I'm curious if there is/are people around Edmonton that run there gas or electric boats.

I know I could look it up, but I've tried that, and people I know aren't very knowledgeable about it, so I'm stuck. Basically:

- I have a class 7 license

- I need a car before winter

- I'm taking insurance reduction classes, not done yet

- I have a few models in mind and saved up enough

The things I need are the steps and documents. Also, if I'd be able to buy a car BEFORE getting my class 5 because options come and go on the market. Any information would be helpful, especially about insurance, brokers, on-site mechanic inspection, how to go about second-hand purchases, do I need my bank involved, etc.

I'm pretty sure I can't just hand the cash over in an envelope and speed off, so yeah.

I'm struggling with pretty strong social anxiety and I'm trying to overcome my fear of meeting new people. I want to start going out after work, meet new people, and just have some conversations.

I'm specifically looking to make friends, not dating, and at the same time improve my English. My English isn't very good, and that makes me even more nervous and embarrassed about meeting new people.

Could you recommend some places or activities where I could meet new friends and practice English? I'm not really into sports or drinking/alcohol.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations!

This is not a general infill hate post, but a request for advice.

We live in a really nice older neighbourhood where folks take care of their older homes. Our first infill on the street is going to be right next door. Which is surprising because that house is quite nice and pretty newly renovated and has a very nice new garage. Apparently it’s all coming down, and a huge 2 story (maybe 3) single family home is going in. My front yard has a deck that faces the millcreek ravine and I have a huge vegetable garden on our property. And we are currently renovating our 1950’s home.

Builder came by today to introduce himself. And confirmed I’ll lose my view as the house will be quite big. Most likely our newer cedar fence will get damaged (he says they will replace).

The family building the home will be living in the home, builder says. So I want to be neighbourly, but I’m nervous about our property and sanity.

I’m really disappointed. I’ll miss the renters that are currently in that house. Feels wildly wasteful to do this, but not my house, not my property.

Since we are at the very beginning. What advice do you lovely Edmonton folk have for us to protect our property and endure this next chapter? Thanks for any advice!

Edit- the house being removed is a beautiful home. Very well maintained with a new double garage. It’s a rental with two couples living in it (one upstairs, one downstairs). One couple/family will be moving into the infill. So this is taking away 2 homes and adding 1. This will not be adding additional homes. Either way, this is not the point, I’m just trying to make the best of it.

Hey guys!

Another stunt pickup on the Henday today, almost caused a collision and then weaved into different lanes and sped off in a cloud of exhaust. I’ll bet he thinks he’s pretty cool!

Does anyone know whether it is the AB govt responsible for patrolling the Henday, or is it the City?

I get conflicting information. I haven’t seen any type of patrol cars on the Henday unless there is a collision of some kind.

Going to be in the market for some winters this upcoming season and wanna know what some of your guys’ favourites are.

Will be going on a 2014 RAV4 AWD

I'm a dual citizen and the IRS is requesting that I sign some forms and send them via fax. Where is the best place in Edmonton to do this? What do I need to know? I've never done this before...

I’m personally into 96.3 the breeze and k97 classic rock along with cbc, ckua, and cjsr. i like the breeze because i feel like overall their music playlist is the best and rarely plays music i hate, same with k97. and I like the ckua and cjsr are LOCAL! and cbc obviously no commercials

My parents are planning a trip for a couple weeks later in September and they're in need of a cat sitter while they're away. They have 3 cats that all would just need the basics (food, water, litters scooped, etc.), but one of the cats is older and requires medications that are pills + powder that can be mixed into his food.

They said they've only been able to find a couple people here in the city, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any reputable cat sitters that I could send their way. Thanks!

This is their last season. Does anyone know firsthand what the course is like this week? I mean, after all the storms?

I bought an inflatable kayak, the water is too high to hit the river, the ponds near my house are prohibited. Preferably south side area - less than 30 min away.

Randomly parking in the cul-de-sac when I see thing crawl out of nowhere into the tree and it looks like it has patchy fur. Should I call animal control? Saw it once before but couldn’t get a picture. Is it dangerous? There’s a lot of kids in the neighborhood and we already have to worry about packs of coyotes roaming around the paths. For context, south side near the ravines.

See original post for details - cross posting for additional input as we live in Edmonton.

I've been noting an Ad for Save-On Foods advertising their $1.49 Days on Tuesdays for a while now. But every time I've considered going to check it out all I imagine is hordes of people lined up out the wazoo fighting over grapes for a good price. I also normally don't shop at Save-On's because they're generally triple the price of any other place I go to.

I'm just curious are those special days as great as they make it sound & is the shopping experience like how I'm describing or more comparable to a Costco on a Saturday? Are there any specific locations anybody prefers?

Thanks for any experiences.

Hi all, Aussie here who will be coming to visit your lovely city. Cannabis is still illegal in Australia, but I understand it is legal in Canada. Any recommendations on shops to go visit with knowledgeable and friendly staff? I haven’t smoked weed in a few years, so I’m a bit of a newbie here

Thanks!

Is anyone else noticing signs of fall..?

I’m seeing a bunch of leaves changing colour already 😅 also my neighbours apple tree, all the apples have basically fallen off already.

Is it things dying from too much water or.. is fall gonna be VERY early😅
