City Centre

The city centre seemed quite forsaken to me today. I took the LRT from University Station to Churchill Square and wandered around town. Shopping centre (hardly anybody there on a Saturday morning, which seemed strange), China Gate, City Hall, Jasper Avenue ... I discovered an Ukrainian book store and a Russian Tea House. By the way, the Ukrainians make up 7% of Alberta's population.

Architecture in Edmonton is a thing to wonder about, to stare at, to be fascinated or repelled by. But the city wants to prove where the money flows (and this is not in Calgary).
