Uncertain, but costs came back quite high.

Looking out my office window this morning, noticed the river flowing again. Then noticed the river boat was pushed up the bank a bit. quite high piles of ice along the banks as well. So I figure an ice jam moved in the night. with the temp being so warm this might be ongoing.

Hey guys,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong sub to ask this but I couldn't find a chat thread so I figured I'd start here. If there's a better place for this, please just let me know.

When I return to Canada, I'm hoping to make Edmonton my home. That being said, I'm not familiar with the city. Where are "bad" neighbourhoods and where are decent ones? Looking to get a home in a decent neighbourhood but don't want to wind up in a some slum without knowing it. Bear in mind that originally I'm from Winnipeg and I've never had the impression that Edmonton has "bad" areas by comparison. Can anybody give me some tips?

Google streetview can give you a general 'feel' for the neighbourhood.
This site can provide you a 60 day (or less) summary of crimes in the neighborhoods you are interested in.

Also, this is 2016 data, but Edmonton's open data catalogue maps the city neighbourhoods by census data, including average income, age...

What are you looking for: more urban, mature, sub?

New CRU filling in that 'gap' east of the former HSBC building. Initially, I was told that it might be a Circle-K.

Filling in the gap, with the cinderblock simply for separation.

You're aware that they use masonry block wall practically everywhere between building-to-building walls in order to satisfy code requirements.

Of course I'm aware. Just poking a bit of fun.
