Local Love List Edmonton-1

Thanksgiving Pizza

Dog Advent Calendar

  • I know, I know. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and we’re talking about advent calendars. I had to pick one of these up for Moses at our favourite pet shop Fox + Tux Pet Boutique because they sell out fast. The first day your dog gets a treat-dispensing toy and then a different treat for the rest of the days leading up to Christmas. All of the goodies are made in Canada with all the best ingredients and none of the junk. Shop here.

Local Love List Edmonton-4

Delicious Juice

  • We discovered some amazing juice while at the 124 St Grand Market yesterday (the last market of the season.). You have to try Hutch + Howl’s Harmonize juice made with grapefruit, fennel, mint, and apple. It’s SO yummy and (obviously) so good for you. I loved it and Wyatt loved it. Hutch + Howl delivers throughout Edmonton and also has a storefront in St.Albert at 17 Boudreau Road.

Local Love List Edmonton-5

Driverless Transport

  • You’ll see this Mr. Bean-esque shuttle driving around Edmonton over the next few weeks. ELA is a 12-passenger driverless electric shuttle (the first one open to the public in Canada) operated by Pacific Western Transportation. From October 9-16, ELA will be touring around Blatchford, Chappelle Gardens from October 17-21, and through Old Strathcona from October 22-November 4 as part of PWT’s pilot program. Book your ride online and learn more here.

  • Find some really fun Halloween books at The Prints and the Paper on 124 Street. This shop is so fantastic for those really unique finds and the owner, Sandy, knows everything there is to know about every single item in the store. Be sure to check them out!

The Marc Party

  • Champagne and fries. Sounds like a perfect night out. The Marc is celebrating its eighth birthday with a Champagne and Frites special. Liebart-Regnier Brut Champagne for $25 a glass or $60 a bottle, both served with delicious house-made fries. Do it.

  • All squished into one little square - my whole world! (Sorry I cut off your head, hunny). ☺ Swipe to see the same shot two years ago.

We had the best Family Day weekend just hanging out not doing a whole lot of anything. It was really nice. We hope you had a fabulous Family Day!

  • I love Edmonton. Truly. When we moved here 12 years ago I thought we would maybe stay for a year. It was meant to be a stop-over in our journalism careers. Well, friends... Edmonton latches on to you and never lets go. It's passionate and proud and full of heart and now I hope to never leave.

I found out about this cool wall from my friend @lindork hosts photo walks where you can discover the best Instagrammable walls in Edmonton. She also has a section on her website (link in her bio) where she shows off Instagrammable walls from the places she visits.
