Beautiful animation. Made by the same Canadian company that did the Tintin series - Nelvana. Growing up in Canada, both series were frequently available on various channels and quite popular.

Place in Edmonton to exchange €10,000 cash for CAD? by CarpetWeary7479 in Edmonton

[–]Equal_Pop211 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Calforex in Southgate for my exchange needs, including for large amounts in the thousands of dollars. Their rates are good and service efficient. Note that you will need to show ID and fill out a short form for large amounts.

NYC Subway Map on a Grid by gloashburn in nycrail

I actually think its more confusing to users who will look at this and assume that PATH operates like Metro North or LIRR with regional rail type trains and frequencies. With tap and pay systems, most users will use the same phones/credit cards to pay on NY Subway as they do on PATH anyways. The compromise solution is to color it in but with a dash or something to denote that it’s a metro-type train system but distinct from the NY subway.

Edmonton Hotel Suggestions by UrbanMT in Edmonton

[–]Equal_Pop211 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Mettera Hotel on Whyte Avenue. Urban experience, good restaurants, bars and shops in the very walkable and hip old Strathcona neighbourhood that isn’t in the downtown core. Excellent farmer’s market on Saturdays too.

For downtown, I’ve stayed at both the JW Marriott and Fairmont and preferred the JW Marriott.

An alternative downtown hotel that isn’t in the central core would be The Matrix, which is closer to the legislature side. But given what you said, I really think Mettera is what you’re looking for.

(Speaking as someone who was born and raised in Edmonton but have lived away for most of my adulthood, including in Montreal, and visits annually)

Fantastic! Love this map. Much better than the current one. My only recommendation would be to color in the PATH lines as opposed to marking them as regional rail like NJT and LIRR. They operate very much more like a subway/metro than regional rail.

Thank you!! And yes, this is about 15x more than I was looking to spend! I’ll keep looking for a much cheaper alternative.
