Looks like I just missed you - I was also at the New Years' celebrations. Great turnout!

Does anyone know where to buy some French Cognac in Edmonton? I prefer Delamain, A.E.Dor, Gautier and Hennessy.

^Edmonton has a significant Asian community with about 1/5 of the city being from SE Asia with about 53,000+ from China.

Nice pictures. It looks like Edmonton has a pretty healthy Chinese community, based on the parade and stores.

well that makes sense and explains things. i wondered about that because there arent that many anglos to fill a city that size, but i never really looked at it. its like a majority chinese foothold n.a. city.

Every major and many minor Canadian city has a lot of Chinese people, so Edmonton isn't that unusual.

It seems like that MoneyMart is going to be there forever.

The reclad on Jasper/109th looks great.

Audrey's books. So many memories. Thanks for the pics.
