Edmonton:
The City of Champions - We've won 5 Stanley's and 13 Grey Cups (in the past...) Yes, this slogan is outdated. We all get it, BUT have too much pride in our sports teams to take this label away from our city.
We have West Edmonton Mall - the largest mall - and although it could use some sprucing up, it has been under some construction and is finally starting to get some decent shops.
During the winter there is prettymuch NOTHING to do in this city. It's FREEZING and the nightlife sucks BUT the people are genuinely warm and you can usually find a pub with cheap beer and wings, or an ODR open somewhere.
During the summer is when you can appreciate the city and it is no longer 'Deadmonton' or 'Ed'monotone'. While the summer is short, is is jam packed full of festivals such as the Fringe, Taste of Edmonton, Capital Ex (K-Days), Folk Fest (one of the best folk music festivals in N.America), Heritage Days, etc... You can always find something to do - even walking in the beautiful river valley, etc...
I have read all the posts on here dissing Edmonton, dissing Calgary, etc.. While I was raised in Edmonton and have always learned we're superior to Calgary, I feel no need to bash other cities - it doesn't make Edmonton any better. Edmonton ISN'T the greatest city in the world... but it is a damn good place to grow up. If you're concerned about the violence and gangs... then don't be... unless you roll with that sort of crowd, then you will be safe.

You're from Edmonton?!? Where's that?
In Alberta, Canada. There's not much to do there, and I won't live there again, but it is definitely a nice place to be FROM :)

Get the Edmonton mug.A small town in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a IGA, i mean, family food center, a burger king, and a football field, also known as deadmore, on M46 between Alma and Six Lakes.

Get the Edmore mug.The Edmonton telegram is useful to convey a serious message on the street and as a kill shot when hunting birds.

Get the Edmonton telegram mug.People from Calgary will say that we have nothing,
and that they have ooh soo much.
But that's a lie,
We are the festival city , we have like, a million festivals, which include the fringe, Capital Ex, The Caribbean Festival, Taste of Edmonton, and so on.
Plus we have the largest mall in the world (so far) which includes Sea lions, Penguins, and other animals, The water park, and the amusement park Galaxy Land. , and we're better at hockey and football than Calgary.

Get the Edmonton mug." Remember her first pop-up exhibit ? It was in an abandoned factory downtown. She left all the dirty needles on the ground as some sort of statement. The whole scene was SO EDMeh."
Damien Hirst...Kitschy, cute, I get it. He's just too EDMeh for me.

Get the EDMeh mug.Usually guys with this name are the most funniest, coolest and famous people at their schools. A guy whose name is Edmon usually got a big Cock and everyone wishes to be like him. Everyone knows him, respects him and loves him.
Edmon is a fuckboy!
