Reddit pulse
Every post from Reddit, newest first.
Someone's asking if fleece-lined tights will work with sweater dresses and skirts through Edmonton winter, or if it'll be too cold. Also hunting for thrift stores with good plus-size sweater selection.
River valley foliage is peaking right now. If you haven't been down to the river valley for a walk yet this fall, conditions are right.
People are asking which HomeSense location in the city is worth the trip. Main draws seem to be selection and the vibe of the space itself.
Winter birthday coming up? A parent on Reddit is hunting for cheap party venues—pottery, play gyms keep coming up wildly expensive. They're hoping the city has budget options that won't break the bank while keeping their five-year-old happy.
Redditor asking if Edmonton has anything like those wild synchronized holiday light displays — knows about the 97st house that's walk-through and impressive. Looking for similar spots in the area for Halloween or Christmas.
A five-person band (three members 17, two over 18) is looking for open mics or jam spots in Edmonton where they can play without staying out too late. Problem: most venues won't let minors perform. Asking if anyone knows places that'll book young musicians.
Someone in an older Edmonton home (built '91) can't find shut-off valves for outdoor faucets — their newer place from 2014 had them. Wondering if they should be worried about freeze damage this winter or if older homes just didn't have them.
Someone posted a yearly appreciation for Deadmonton House haunted attraction, saying the scare actors and workers put in serious effort to make it fun and spooky. They're comparing it to Dark at the fort — both are running right now and hitting different. Deadmonton House has better scares, apparently.
Someone's giving away a free Sabaton ticket for tonight at the ECC because his wife caught the flu. Hit him up on Reddit if you want it — it's claimed now, but worth knowing for next time.
A massive 125,000-square-foot fitness club is getting ready to open in west Edmonton. Altea Active Club is coming soon — details are still rolling out.
Someone moved from Toronto 3 years ago and says Edmonton drivers are way worse — slowing down when you try to pass, speeding up once you're behind them again, then brake-checking. They're witnessing extreme road rage daily, even not directly involved. Way different vibe than the biggest city in Canada.
Someone just discovered Edmonton's neon-lit late-night strips and is posting about how gorgeous they are. Worth the walk if you haven't been down there in a while.
We're only at intermission of the Citadel's Murder on the Orient Express, but the set design alone is worth the ticket—costumes, acting, story all strong, and someone already started a round of applause at the first transition.
Environment Canada's air quality reading just hit ten, and nobody's sure why. Check current readings if you're heading outside.
Telus scheduled maintenance from 11 a.m. to noon, but internet in south central is still down hours later. People resetting everything aren't getting service back.
Traveling Tickle Trunk, the shop known for helping people find what they need and feel comfortable with taboo topics, is shutting down. Staff are devastated but grateful for how the community showed up.
Felice Cafe is closing its doors. Tough loss for the neighborhood.
Local artist's been applying to volunteer and show work at Edmonton Mural Fest for 3 years straight — no responses to either application, not even a confirmation they were received. Another muralist told them the event organizer is just swamped. Seems odd for a whole festival to hinge on one person.
A car driver cut off a Lime rider on the sidewalk Thursday, got out and tried to push him to the ground, then chased him across the street and circled the block for half an hour looking for him. Lime guy escaped and hid in an alley. Whole thing got caught on video.
Someone on Reddit just moved from Ontario to Calgary six years ago, visited Edmonton for the first time, and can't stop talking about it — fell hard for the river valley and Kinsmen Park area, impressed by how clean the whole city is. Already looking for a realtor.
