Great video! Great musical accompanyment! The sad thing about Edmonton...and Calgary, for that matter....is that they destroyed some of the beautiful architecture during the oil boom of the 70s and 80s in favor of natural light hating edifices with absolutely no character. Only in the last 20 years has that begun to change.

I'm constantly looking for pictures of Jasper Ave. & 97 St. showing the WW Arcade, Dreamland Theatre, Family Drugs and the Coffee Cup cafe. If you have some I would love to see them.

Nice Guess Who tune. Cool photos!

The original version of "No Time". IMO the best thing they ever released.

@5:29 That is Jasper and 95st, along with 102 ave on the Far Right. Way better than it is in 2024.

Epic stupid city councils tore down and ruined downtown. Unbelievably sad

[@robertembury6094]

Remember the Coffee cup Inn ?

[@BrentWelch]

Yes... I have pics of it, but they're not a good resolution. I also have drawings of the plans for it. :)

Yes we used to take the bus downtown and it stopped there. My mother used to say it was a rough place. Highwaymen and rogues.
