I still haven't gone out to get the rest of the pix yet... I have been feeling a little under the weather this week.

Maybe has something to do with wandering around Churchill Square at 1am on friday in the freezing cold, pissed drunk, trying to find the stairs down to the LRT.

Honestly, I thought they were closer to city hall. I'm suprised I didn't end up in the drunk tank.

There's just something about Edmonton that I can't quite place my finger on. Amid the old, boring buildings there is a certain je ne sais quoi that is strangely appealing. I just can't say what it is.

^ Probably sold out, no one knows for sure. No website, doesn't need one! Not for the general public!

23 cranes in E-town, that's pretty impressive. What is the most you've had at one time?

Yea, perhaps the early 80's (80-83)...
