Product of the 70’s; Lover of history (esp WW I/II and of YEG, my hometown). Be kind to our planet and humans. I’m just hear to get my news and dose of beauty through arts/books/photography. #TeamScience #TeamDemocracy

December 3, 1891 • C&E / Strathcona Hotel On this day the Calgary & Edmonton Railway Co. open their new hotel on Whyte Ave. & 103rd Street in Strathcona - then called 'South Edmonton'. It underwent name changes, including 'Hotel Edmonton' (🔍), now known as Strathcona Hotel. See ALT 📷 • ca.1892

Magnificent homes in YEG, still around today.

1913 • The Highlands Photo of opulent residences nearing completion during the fall of 1913 in The Highlands. This view looking west from 62 Street along today's Ada Boulevard. See ALT. L-R • William T. Ash House ~ 6256 • William J. Magrath Mansion ~ 6240 • Bidwell Holgate House ~ 6210

The only way you recognize it’s YEG is by that bridge.

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

Great idea!

November 11, 1918 • Armistice Day Although today is now devoted to remembrance, it was also a time to celebrate the end of WW1 over a century ago. News of the armistice signed between the Allies & Germany reached Edmonton quickly. This view, Jasper Ave & 101 Street. 📷 Glenbow Archives
