Connors Rd NW and 98 Ave is currently a mess after the flash flooding that hit Edmonton 😳 Several vehicles are partially underwater, the road is impassable, and the Low Level Bridge has now been closed.

BREAKING; Calgary’s iconic Cowboys Dance Hall is closing after nearly 30 years. The venue announced it’s shutting its doors as Penny Lane Entertainment shifts its focus to expanding the Cowboys Music Festival, Cowboys Park, and new events.

Following several downtown Edmonton business closures, we asked our Instagram followers what keeps them from visiting downtown Edmonton. Top 3 concerns: 1. Homeless people and open drug use. 2. The parking situation. 3. Expensive prices.

Every Edmontonian should read this... An entrepreneur's lament for our city. Let's hope our civic leaders are paying attention to what job creators are saying.
Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud, Chris. It needed to be said. gretabar.com/greta-yeg-is-cl…

A third downtown Edmonton restaurant, PlayWright permanently closes this month due to construction. When will this city learn their current approach of wishful thinking and no proper planning to support adjacent businesses impacted by major projects isn’t working!? #yeg #yegcc
