I cradled it, held it and put it to bed each night, all without a protective case and everything seemed fine. But my luck had to run out at some point. Down the iPhone went and crashed onto the hard floors of Mongoli Express, shattering its back.…More »
Whether you are heading out for a casual dinner or late-night drinks, this location of Original Joe's consistently serves yummy food for a reasonable price, without music blasting right in your ear at full volume. I also love love LOVE that the…More »
This brand new Shoppers location, directly across the street from its previous incarnation, opened up and has become and overnight sensation. (No, really! Literally, one night, the old location closed, and the next morning, the new location opened.)

Go long! This store goes much further back than you might expect. Usually seasonal items up front - holiday or sun dresses - and a great selection of casual and office kind of items stretch all the way back. I've found great basics here, like tanks…More »
I was lucky enough to receive one of these fruity bad boys. Well, not me, actually, my roommate, but how much fruit can one person eat, am I right? These things are huge! That means you either need to have a team working to devour it, or you really,…More »
Staples, you are totally deceptive in an awesome kind of way. You don't sell staples at all! Well, you do, but you sell so much more than that.
As a recent convert to the "working-from-home" movement (which I highly recommend), Staples really does…More »
A great selection of flat shoes and boots for a gal with a sky-high fear of heels. I snagged a cute pair of pink and gold flats here for a moderate price, and a beautiful pair of tall brown synthetic boots, to boot!
I have one of those agonizingly…More »
I was cold and hungry today, out and about with no clue as to what I wanted for lunch, so this Tim Horton's and the familiar fare it offers called my name as I drove past it.
I was kind of disappointed with the wait time when I got in - only one man…More »
This might just be my favourite Second Cup in the Edmonton area (but as a St. Albert girl born and raised, I might just be biased)!
The staff here are great, and always try to get through multiple customers in the line-up at a time. The drinks come…More »
If I could, I would give 10 stars to Cactus Club.
My first time at CC for dinner, and I was left with my jaw on the floor. Even without a reservation, the staff jumped on us to get our table of seven into the restaurant. Every staff member I…More »
If I'm in the mood for something quick and healthy, I usually run over to this location of Subway. At peak hours, a line-up can form because of its proximity to the University of Alberta and the U of A hospital. But the staff here are friendly and…More »
It looks tiny from the outside, but this is a cute and rather roomy Subway location. Windows all across the front of the store make for a bright, sunny atmosphere and make the place feel bigger than it is.
A yummy sub here for lunch - nothing out of…More »
I've gotta agree with my compadre Michael J's quick tip: this is the classiest Subway restaurant I have ever been to!
I wonder if this used to be some kind of fancy cafe that went bankrupts. Upon entering, you are greeted with tons of brick and a…More »

I could spend a day in Ikea. Picture lounging in the morning in one of their bedroom set-ups, stopping into the fast food lounge for a hot dog at lunch, going back upstairs to hang out in a living room, and rounding off the day with a full chicken…More »
I do love the rooftop patio at this location of Chili's. A perfect place to sip a Texas Bulldog and watch the shenanigans of Whyte Ave down below! Only in summer though, of course!
I stopped in here for an impromptu supper out with a good friend. We…More »
I had good luck here picking out Christmas presents for family and friends.
It's a big store with applicants in one corner, computers to the right, plus TVs, video games, cameras, and more. The staff helped me pick out the right armband my iPhone, and…More »
If you're looking for a good pub with a full menu and beer that is flowing, Hudsons on Campus is a safe bet. With two levels (main floor and basement), there is plenty of seating, although the place really fills up on game nights.
The food here is…More »

Wooden floors and old Canadian sports memorabilia on the walls makes this a great location to watch the game with some friends with a few pints.
Visited this downtown location of one of Edmonton's favourites for wings and a beer after work. Wing…More »

I really don't understand the difference between Coles, Chapters, and Indigo stores. Aren't they all part of the same giant brand? So isn't Coles just the small, kind of crappier version of Chapters?
While this store isn't exactly large, its selection…More »
On Saturday night, Michael J and I bought our tickets for Sherlock Holmes 2. That was at around 6:10 and the movie started at 7. No time to head out of City Centre Mall for dinner but we didn't have to walk far to Elephant and Castle, where a quick…More »
I rented a storage unit for the first time a couple of months ago. First I went to Sentinel, who were very expensive. They helpfully directed me to South Edmonton Storage, who had storage lockers in my price range, but not in the size I needed. They…More »
If I have to chain it, I take my bizness to Second Cup. Yep, it's a big company, but at least I know I'm supporting Canadian - yay!
I've found myself at this SC quite a few times. They've got very convenient (early and late) hours, and it's easy to…More »
I can't remember the last time I had a grocery store shopping experience this poor. And like, I really love grocery store shopping. It's usually one of my favourite things to do all week. But it was late at night and I was already parked there to…More »
I don't know if I've ever had a normal experience at this Tim's. I've been here twice. Once on Halloween (so you can imagine, of course, that there was quite a cast of characters) and then again the other night. It was around midnight and I was full…More »
I was on the hunt for printer ink and it wasn't going so well. Future Shop was a bust, with a sales guy telling me, "Um, well this is where all the printer ink is, so if we have it, it will be in this section." Oh, OK. Wow. Helpful. (That bit was…More »
As far as fast food-y type restaurants go, Wok Box reigns supreme in terms of taste, flavour and health factors. I love "Asian Fusion" and although it's all pretty westernized here, it's still delicious. Both meat and vegetarian options, with…More »
A quick review for a quick visit! I haven't spent more than a few minutes here on any given visit, but why would I need to? It's a very handy location, right downtown. I spend quite a bit of time downtown and often find myself low on gas, so this…More »
I've said it before, of course, I'll say it again. I love our local cafes. But when almost every local biz downtown shuts down by 8 PM, where's a girl and her book club supposed to meet?
Although I think it's ridiculous that there are two other Second…More »
Let's just start off by saying I don't really like chains, but as far as chains go, Original Joes is one of the ones I like a whole lot more. Because as a restaurant, here's all you need to do to make me love you, even if you are kinda chainy: offer…More »
I've been bad. I've been visiting this Starbucks more frequently that I should be, but it's all in the name of good health. Scout's honour.
One, it's exactly 4.0 km from my place, so husband and I have been taking more walks here in summertime. It's a…More »
