I'm going to be a tourist in Edmonton

I'm going to be in town Thursday April 19th, through Tuesday April 24th.

Just a real general question: Is there any neighborhoods/buildings/areas I have to see while I'm there? Just think of me as coming from your typical SSP background, with a camera in tow, and an appreciation for the urban/aesthetics.

Thanks In Advance

If you are like me, you would start from the University of Alberta and work outwards from there.

That would be an awesome idea - maybe some of us would want to meet up with you before and give you a brief tour from our perspectives?

thanks for the replies so far.

I'll be with an emdonton resident already, but he's only been there for 7 or so months. so the general areas to go are a great help so far.

I'll be a "maybe" on the oil city roadhouse, for the time being. But I do like drinking....

/\ Yea, you should seriously think of it dude.

Hopefully the weather pans out and its not raining / showering.
