The RAM is the only attraction

in Edmonton worth seeing. It’s large and impressive. The Viking exhibit there now is well worth the modest admission.

Parking downtown with all the roads closed is, however, another matter. If you can’t park at City Hall with its limited parking, your best bet is the library parking which is about half a mile away from the RAM, albeit underground protected from the elements, but not from spaced-out nuisance street types who can still make their way into the walkway. This is not a good choice for women, seniors, or families. So voila, you’ve got a great facility downtown (the art gallery doesn’t count because it doesn’t do significant art exhibitions), but it’s dangerous to get to even if you can find a parking spot or are taking the LRT.

Now with Hawrelak, the Muttart, the libray, Churchill Square , and Ft. Edmonton closing or closed, there are no other bona fide attractions for travellers to take in. You have to feel sorry for them driving Third World roads (like Edmontonians every day) and risking safety trying to get to the one and only worthwhile attraction downtown.

Only in Edmonton would a city make itself totally impassable, impossible, and closed to one and all. Only with Don and this ignorant City Council would such craziness be inflicted on so many. The latter has long declared open war on locals and now tourists. They have, wilfully and singlehandedly, made E-Town  one huge hideous nightmare of ashes and nothingness.
