Going tomorrow and not sure what the best way to go is. Not from Edmonton, can drive in Edmonton fine but prefer not to. Was wondering if there was a place we could park and take LRT or if the best way to get there is to just drive. I’m sure it’s not that bad of a drive but might still prefer train to get there just to avoid congested traffic after the events let out. We are coming from the east side of Edmonton. Thanks in advance!

Looking to adopt a cat or two, If there is a shelter that puts down animals that aren't adopted, I'd prefer to rescue some cats from there.

Any advice would be appreciated.

We had way less kids this year than last year, I thought it might just be one of those trends dying out, but when I checked the doorbell camera I noticed so many groups of kids come up to the door, look through the translucent glass, and when they didn’t see anyone, turn around and leave.

I had all my front lights on, as well as a red lamp in the front window, and the front entrance light - I was just watching tv laying on the couch instead of sitting right at the door.

Is there some new social convention I’m not aware of? Why would the kids not knock or ring the doorbell?

Are there any pig pens or other farms who would like pumpkins for live stock or is it best to just compost them?

Or any other methods of disposal that could benefit someone?

A young kid probably around 6 or 7 years old was trick or treating alone in our neighbourhood last night. After we gave him some candy, he asked if he could use our phone to call his mom, so my partner grabbed his phone and dialed the number for him. His mom said she said she was still out grocery shopping, asked her kid if he was cold (he said kind of), and asked when she would be at the meeting spot as, according to him, she should have been there 5 minutes ago. She said she would be there soon. He thanked us and continued on.

Not many people on our block had their lights on and my partner and I both felt so sad for him, as it was dark and quiet with no kids around. After leaving our home, we saw him knock on 2 doors without their lights on before stepping out to let him know that the homes with lights on would be giving out candy, and that our neighbors lights are on + are giving out candy. He thanked us and ran over to our neighbours.

The kid came back to our home about 15 minutes later to use our phone again and the mom said she would meet him at their meeting spot in two minutes. The kid thanked us again and left.

What was shocking to me was that the mom called back 10 minutes later, my partner answered and said that he had left. He stepped outside to have a look to see if he was still around and said that he didn't see him. She stated "Well, he used your phone to call me..!? * in an accusatory tone*. Pause. Oh, we see him." And hung up.

It makes me sad and frustrated for my partner as he was just trying to help, but instead of kindness, it was a weird, accusatory interaction. To me, it felt like she was trying to pin the responsibility of her kid on him.

Anyways.. interested to hear your thoughts and if you've experienced anything similar. Mostly just sharing the feels. I realize this is probably just one of those cases where the mom may be going through her own personal issues, and that most people would be appreciative and kind.

Otherwise, it was lovely seeing all the kids dressed up. Seeing a family taking their son who was in a power chair trick or treating made our hearts so happy as every kid deserves to be just that... a kid & to enjoy the spirit of Halloween! 🧡

I’m aware this is a shot in the dark, but is there any way to get the content of myself walking through the haunted houses? I know they have cameras throughout

Hi, am new to Edmonton and trying to use marketplace to buy a few items.some ads just don't seem legit. I see lots of add with store closing soon One guy just kept sending me messages after I made inquiry and another told me to make sure I let him know before going when I asked where store is located.

Looking for my old hair stylist. Name is Logan and used to work for Tommy Guns in Windermere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but to the majority of edmonton drivers; DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO INSTALL WINTER TIRES. This is alberta, not some tropical wonderland, November is the time to do it, so don't hesitate. For the sake of my rear bumper, please don't make me have to replace it.

It's a pain to find a good condition bumper at pick n pull and I'd rather avoid buying a brand new one.

After years of avoiding car ownership, I’ve caved. Have a road test next week at the St Albert AMA.

I can drive and know the rules well, but we all know you have to be the perfect flawless driver during the exam.

Does anyone happen to know the route for practice? Any St Albert-specific tips?

Thanks in advance!

Hello 👋 32/m, I've been an introverted gamer my entire life and I'm probably not going to meet the love of my life at the grocery store or on my commute to and from work. Was wondering what people are doing to find new friends and get out a bit!

Our Halloween had a slow start - just a handful of adorable little ones with their parents making the rounds. But things really kicked into gear after 7:00 PM when the teens (or maybe pre-teens?) showed up in mass! Sure, some costumes had that last-minute vibe, but their energy and friendliness totally made up for it. The kids are gonna be alright! 🎃

Was out for a couple of hours with my boys last night and they definitely received some cool stuff that wasn't just candy. Of course there was pens, pencils and erasers. They also got glow sticks, led necklaces, and little keychains and trinkets to hang on your backpack.

The coolest one though: one of our neighbours was giving out 3D printed little fidget toys (see picture). Each segment is a separate piece and the whole thing wiggles and flexes. He made like 200 of these to give out last night!

Curious to see what temp everyone keeps their heat on with the current weather

Hi there, I'm coming to Edmonton today for a couple of nights, I will be traveling solo and was looking for some recommendations for restaurants and bars/pubs that I can hang out at where I won't feel out of place by being by myself. TIA.

Hi Edmonton!

I have an idea for a project and just want to get feedback re if anyone would actually carev/ attend.

I had the pleasure of meeting the fellow who was "trapped" in the silver balls!

If I could track him down and make a low quality mini documentary about his experience would anyone be interested in buying tickets to watch said low quality doc at Metro cinema or similar?

All proceeds would of course go to charity.

The bitch In me wants to donate the monies to the city of Edmonton so they can perhaps keep our property taxes lower and provide services other than armless lrts and bike lanes.

There would of course be merch. Christmas ornaments, postcards, maybe even keychains and t-shirts.

Would anyone pay good $ for this?

Thank you for your feedback!

Hello, anyone have advice how or where to rehome a couple dogs? This would hopefully happen soon

My daughter ex boyfriend had a dog for 5 years, she's about 6 and also got a puppy from his friend a year ago. He has left the relationship and the dogs.

She is a full-time nursing student who works in Healthcare when not in school.

It isn't fair to the dogs both female to be alone all day. I'm disabled and unable to walk them for her.

Being a student she also cannot afford the costs of keeping them.

6yr old is fixed female part blue healer. Black, brown and white mix. Good temperament. Crate trained and outdoor potty time. Favorite activity is chewing stuffed animals. She gets along with dogs and cats.

1 yr old female mixed breed, very gentle and usually quiet. Also crate trained and outside for potty. Is not fixed. Brown in colour except one paw partly white. She also gets along with other dogs and cats. Favorite activity is chasing the other dog or chewing on chewing toys.

I appreciate any advice... please no rude comments and yes the ex is an a$$ hole for abandoning the dogs, but it's a blessing he is out of her life

Very large flames engulfed at least one home. Fire is nearly out as of posting.

Let's say you are having a mental crisis, where would you go for treatment/intervention?
