Tuesday's mild — 10 degrees, plenty of daylight, and a few heads up.

Morning. We're sitting at 10 degrees right now — grab a light layer if you're heading out early, but honestly, it'll feel decent by midday. Sun's up for another 15 hours, so you've got till just after 9 tonight to get outside if you want it. UV's at 5, so the usual sunscreen rules apply if you're out for lunch.

Heads up on 184th Street: the bridge is closing for three months starting soon for major rehab work. If that's part of your regular route, start mapping around it now — it's a solid chunk of time. Nothing else major blocking the commute this morning, so you should be fine otherwise.

Couple of local things worth knowing. The U of A won court approval to dissolve the Hunka Ukrainian research fund — that one's been a conversation for a bit, and it landed today. And if you've been driving past the old Edmonton City Centre mall, there's news: it's been sold to a developer with plans to build 1,500 new homes in there. That's a shift for that corner, worth watching.

Food-wise, if you're thinking lunch or an early dinner, Bazaar just landed in Station Park over in Old Strathcona — Ukrainian street food, so you know it's solid. If you want something with longer roots, Lingnan's is still anchoring family dinners the way it has for over 70 years — egg rolls that have fed generations. And if Whyte's your lane, Greg Sweeney's HOM Street Food just took over the Bibo's kitchen, so that's worth a look if you haven't caught it yet.

Tonight's pretty quiet — it's a Tuesday, so nothing major dropping. But if you're looking ahead, Daniel Caesar's coming Thursday night with 070 Shake if R&B is your thing. Grab tickets if that lands with you, then you've got something to look forward to.

See you out there.
