Farmers Market Brings “Community” to Terwillegar, Riverbend
”It’s like the heart of Terwillegar-Riverbend finally came alive.” Edmonton Journal.
The Terwillegar Riverbend Farmer’s Market opened in May and has run every Wednesday night since from 5:30-8pm. It’s the culmination of years of effort from many volunteers, and brings a real community feeling to a sub-urban part of our city. According to their web site:

Video Killed the Photo Star
Two years ago we blogged about doing wide angle, HD videos for our listings. Like the song “Video killed the radio star,” video is in the process of murdering the photo virtual tour in real estate. At a recent conference we attended a Senior Executive with Google indicated that You Tube is currently the second or third most popular search [...]
The Buzz Around Sustainability

Every year, 1/4 of the City’s local roads are inspected for the condition of the pavement, curbs and sidewalks. The program has identified a number of neighbourhoods slated for renewal in the coming years – is your [...]
Spring is here – a.k.a. basement flooding season
So we’re coming out of the worst winter in 40 years in Edmonton, and there is a lot of snow out there. Foundation and restoration companies are expecting a lot of calls this spring as the snow melts, and basement flooding begins. If we have a quick melt, followed by spring rains, a lot of us could be “underwater” this [...]
Building Code Changes could put an end to “bonus rooms”
What things eventually determine the way we build our homes? Preferences for open spaces, gourmet style kitchens, new technologies and materials – these are just a few of the factors that affect the style of new homes. Much of this is wrapped up in the building code to which builders must adhere. From time to time [...]
