Nice shots of a city I know little about except that it has a subway!

Maybe the mods can move this to the Alberta section?

Why not? Is Edmonton not "Canadian"?. It's nice to showcase some nice photos to people who don't visit the Alberta section.

it doesn't look pretty but its a weather problem

Exactly and occurs in most of canadian cities.

with all the money and population growth, it amazes me that Ed's skyline is still so stuck in the 80's

The buildings of the current boom that will alter the skyline have only just started (re: Stationlands, Ironwood, Valleyview, TNP's highrises on 86th St, etc. etc.)

Here's a shot of the proposed skyline.

^Beats me looks like somebody's sneaking in the canterra tower from Calgary. A lot of the other stuff is only proposed. (And since when do we have 2 bell towers)?

It's a "roughed-in" Procura's Paramount. Since design is unknown, a building was borrowed that shared the same height.
