You mean Deadmonton.... Personally I think its a shit hole. I get in and out as fast as possible. White Ave if you want a night club/patio drinking hole. I hate country music but the country bars are pretty popular and full of sluts. West Edmonton mall can eat up an entire day if you want, its something to see. I dunno what you like to do when you visit a city so cant really give you much more to go on.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh I'm not personally fond of Edmonton, only ever go there for work or hockey games in the past. HondaBilly might be able to give you any recommendations since he lives there. You should come to Calgary instead

I'll be up your way April 25-29th what's the haps in the Edmonton area?

Come to Calgary? Ok, See you May. See how easy that was?

Anyone coming to the Calgary auto show this week?

What do you like doing? Where are you staying? Renting a car? Able to get around?

I'll find us a karaoke bar

Don't bring that up. God I'm terrible and I know it but you get a few beers in me and it's Bon Jovi time!

If you like walking, the river valley trails are pretty nice. It's such a tough time of the year though because of weather. But, if it's nice, Hawrelak Park is a great place to start. If you stay downtown it's pretty close to everything.

I had no idea where the Matrix was and had to look it up. I'm pretty close to it at least. You'd be a quick walk to the Legislature, which is not the most entertaining for sight seeing, but the grounds are really nice and there is lots of Alberta government history to see and read. The new visitor center is pretty nice. They usually have some neat government related historical stuff at all times. They recently had the Magna Carta on loan for the public to view. It was pretty interesting.

If you stay there, there is a great Thai place worth checking out. They even have a real ladyboy server. My wife and I go fairly often. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Matrix+Ho...41!2d53.5370342

High Level diner and Sugar Bowl are also great places for some decent food. Sugar Bowl has a great beer list, and it's nice to sit on their sidewalk patio and have a drink and people watch. They are local and have been around forever. They are a "quick" walk across the High Level bridge that has some pretty nice views of the city and downtown.

Why are you coming? Business? I would suggest a trip to the mountains, but it's a 3.5-4 hour drive. I would save it for your Calgary trip. It's much closer and easier to just do a day trip.

If you've never been, West Edmonton Mall is still pretty neat to see. Once you live here though you avoid it at all costs. Unless you have some shopping that needs to be done it's just a big mall with an amusement park and a water park inside it.

I've marked you in my calendar, so I can be reminded that you are coming. I will try and keep an eye out for interesting things that are coming up in the city that might be worth checking out.

Are you a golfer at all?

If you stay downtown, there are all sorts of pubs, and bars to check out.

Whyte Ave is close. It's the University party area if clubbing is your thing, but it also has a lot of good pubs and places to eat.

I will update as I think of other things.

Thanks for the write up! I'm coming on business, but I'm not a golfer at all unless you feel like teaching me.

wait a min... so you show up roughly 30 mins before the flight leaves and you dont understand why your baggage cant make it on? If they would have made it through security and made the gate they would have been fine. But that isnt nearly enough time for them to get the bags on the plane.

Oh and fuck westjet. Their seats a tiny. Every 2nd trip I take with them they leave my shit in another city. No free upgrades to 1st class. I avoid them like the plague.
