If I had to archive 5 Edmonton things, they would be the following:
-an abandoned Tim Hortons coffee cup
-a magpie
-a pothole
-some river water
And a collection of ticket stubs from all of our festivals we have.
This list seems drab, but I feel that it accurately portrays what edmontonians encounter most. for some reason edmontonians love drinking the high-fructose corn syrup laden tar that is Tim Hortons coffee. The giant pick up trucks are regularly submitted to nearly being engulfed by even larger potholes. Yet, we survive the harsh conditions just like our neighbor magpies. Who also appreciate the river valley just as much as we do. And populate the streets of our much longed-for festivals.
I can't think of too many things that describe Edmonton better than the ones you listed. "A pothole" made me laugh out loud. You'd think, with all the technology that we have nowadays, that we would be able to construct roads that don't compeltely fall apart from winter to spring.
ReplyDelete3/5 of yours were mine as well. I don't know what it says about this city that some the things we consider to be the most representative of it are a) trash, b) pests, or c) a road hazard.
