The Grain Elevator is a one of those prairie symbols which are slowly disappearing from the landscape. Farmers used to bring grain to the elevators to sell and then rail cars would pass by and pick up the grain and take it to the mills.

Almost every town in the prairies had at least one of these elevators.

Edmonton's five favorite sons are soon going to be six. In this upcoming week, Mark Messier number 11 will be lifted up into the rafters and no oiler will ever wear that number again.

These numbers hang at the top of Rexall place.

Home after a day of sliding

After a hard day on the slopes, these kids are heading home to tell Mom and Dad all about it..

Edmonton Light Rail Transit...

Faster than a speeding flash blub, the Edmonton Light Rail Transit crosses the North Saskatchewan on the way to the University of Alberta.

In the summer, this walkway is light until 11 pm.

Happy Family Day

Family Day is the third weekend of February. This civil holiday was established about 10 years ago and intended to give everyone a day off during the winter.

This holiday was intended to provide family of Alberta with an opportunity to spend time together. This is one of the fun way in which can close to both family and friends. There are not many thing which will get you to hold on tighter than sliding down a hill together.

I hope that you got some time with your family and enjoyed Family Day.

What am I?

On a weekend outing, I took my parents to a local greenhouse with exotic plants.

This is one of the flowers which we saw but did not get the name of. Does anyone know that this is? My mother now wants my father to building new house so that she can have a green house.... The next family get together may have to be homebuilder.

OPEN 24/7

It is 4 am and you are in downtown with a car showing empty, what do you do? Go to Petro-Canada's gas station and fill up. Most of the gas stations are open 24 hours a day and are self service so you pay only for the gas. Full service stations cost usually half a penny more per litre.

And if you careful, you can see an independents station next door. Gas at the independent's is 4 cents cheaper per litre. Unfortunately, their station closes at 10 pm.
