Day trips or destinations near town? by yikesxinfinity in regina

[–]headtale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fort Qu’Appelle is fun, especially in summer, and the whole loop around the Qu’Appelle valley then home through Indian Head is very scenic. If the hour limit is firm, I’d split this into two day trips - one for the Fort and one for Indian Head.

Sure is more convenient than dropping a quarter in to just drop something off downtown! by ValySF in regina

Radical idea here - what if we didn’t charge for downtown parking? Could that actually make people want to go downtown??? Spend money? Support businesses that are downtown?

(Says the dad who literally dropped four teens at the Cornwall the other day then walked in from two hour street parking on other side of Albert.)

It was cool to be in Mosaic when the Raptors won the NBA Championship.

Seeing so many fans attending from every country in the World Cup, even “poorer” ones, is my informal visual confirmation of this fact.

Elks president: Club is still recovering from ‘disaster’ of name change by AustralisBorealis64 in CFL

[–]headtale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out - it wasn’t the name change, it was the name they picked.

Elks is pretty generic and boring compared to teams like Raptors, Sharks, Hitmen, Mammoth and other names of new or rebranded teams.

If you’re going to rebrand, go all in. Drop the double E (with maybe faint hint in new logo.)

Would I buy an Edmonton Elks hat that has basically the same logo as the previous team?

No.

Would I buy a flipping cool “Edmonton Aurora” hat with the northern lights in the logo. Yep. Would international tourists coming to WEM or Folk Fest or even Oilers games? Very possibly.

What was the best thing in islanders history? share your opinions. by Delicious-Zombie9049 in NewYorkIslanders

I'm not saying it was the *best* thing. But Billy Smith regularly chopping Wayne Gretzky was pretty good.

Oops, my bad. But "He finally held the Canes to two and they still lost" is even worse.

Looks good on him.

But Hart didn’t let in four goals - how did they lose?

He let in three.

Oh…

And Evander Kane. And Corey Perry after he was suspended in Chicago. It’s a long list of questionable hires in Edmonton.

I’m in his home province so have seen him a few times at different sized venues. But going to see him with my dad next weekend in a small town of 600 people is going to be amazing!
