Hello fellow Edmonton goon! I've been living here a few years but mostly working from home and hiding from the snow; do you have any specific tips about the culture of Edmonton in general, or specific things I should do and see and eat? I live in the river valley.

Also as someone from the American deep south I can definitely get why Alberta gets called the Texas of Canada.

As far as 'eh' goes, I don't actually hear it that often in the city either so I don't think Nessa is just exposure blind to it. It tends to be more older or small-town people in my experience. Quite different from y'all in the south, as you will find that almost everyone raised says it, regardless of upbringing or social status. The guy at the Taco Bell says y'all, your average college student says y'all, your doctor says y'all.

On Saturday mornings, there is also the outdoor farmer's market downtown. It's a great place to pick up fresh veggies and grab a bison burger.

Summer is a pretty good time in Edmonton, I'd say.

Is this City Market? They have a liege waffle place I've had my eye on.
