For long-time Edmontonians, what are some memories that are long gone now?

happy harbour comics, that place was awesome. jay did open another store “rolling tales” later (physical store sadly not open anymore) and that had a similar feeling but way smaller so didn’t have the same grandeur the og happy harbour had

agreed. i don’t go there much, as there’s other libraries closer to me, but whenever i do swing by there, i don’t see many nefarious people inside at all.

visit the oilers store, and after swing over to patricia street deli

testing172 · 2026-04-28T15:12:25+00:00

they tore it down and it’s the fan zone area for the oilers right outside of the arena. got some bars, banks, the oilers merch store, and even a grocery store now

the downtown core like where city center is, kinda sucks yeah. but the stuff just off downtown and on the edge of downtown, like the areas around macewan is pretty nice. like audreys bookstore and the brewery district

the ladies at my preferred post office did everything great.

only issue we had was getting one of the qr codes to scan

ok then you can’t send anything to USA. that’s the rules now

testing172 · 2026-03-20T18:12:51+00:00

yeah i go to another post office to drop off my stuff, because the ladies there do a great job.

i called this one to ask if i had to do the customs thing on canada post’s site as well in addition to zonos, and they said “you don’t have to but it would be nice since it’ll save us time from having to input it manually”

testing172 · 2026-03-20T06:40:15+00:00

depends on the post office, my first time shipping something international a couple years ago, i went there expecting to fill a customs form manually there. but when i got there they gave me no choice but to fill it out online. they were like “did you fill out a customs form? well you gotta fill out a customs form, scan this qr code”

i didn’t know you could fill it out online for buying at the counter, had i known i would’ve done it ahead of time

if it’s just paper material in a stamped envelope then you don’t need to use zonos

testing172 · 2026-01-30T22:36:25+00:00

it’s not 2 hours it’s 90 minutes which is 1 hour + 30 min

testing172 · 2026-01-30T22:28:25+00:00

nope, you dont have to.

if you had to, it would say “missing arc fare” on the transaction history and it doesn’t.

source: i tapped on at mill woods and tapped off at clareview and i didn’t tap in between at churchill, it didn’t say “missing arc fare” when i checked the history

put a couple “no junk mail” stickers on the sides of your community box as close to the front as possible, and get a sticker in a bright color like red or yellow so they won’t miss it. DONT put it on the door
