Seen and Heard in Edmonton

Today I am thankful for all of the good reading that bloggers in Edmonton provide me every week. Here are some goodies for you:

Katt Adachi shares her passion for comics on Marvel Made Me Do It. She reviews purchases such as the above-pictured haul, and links to the podcast she co-hosts, too.  

Some musical notes:

• Vintage Edmonton unearths a 45 from Tommy Banks and the Banknotes featuring Evelyn Quaife.
• Rylan Kafara shares the video for And We Will Mend Our Broken Hearts by the Edmonton band F&M (the drone shot is cool!).

On the subject of food:

• On Eating is the Hard Part, Chris explores the fall menu at Earls. 
• At Wine + Dine, Cheryl Cottrell-Smith warms up at Chili Hot Pot.
• Elyse Chatterton turns to bacon butty to survive family chaos amid a challenge to reduce food waste.
• Meanwhile, Jerry Aulenbach shifts from bacon to beard.

Regarding this place where we live:

• On Spacing Edmonton, Paul Giang argues it’s not the entrance signs that are the problem — it’s the entrances themselves.
• And his colleague Tom Young takes a look at West Edmonton Mall.
• The Journal’s Elise Stolte tours Edmonton through the eyes of urban design consultant Sonny Tomic, via Twitter.
• And her colleague Cailynn Klingbeil celebrates the power of small community projects.

And, miscellaneously:

• Glenn Kubish sounds out what we’re talking about when we say something resonates.
• Make Something Edmonton interviews Aaryn Flynn, studio general manager at BioWare.
• Chad Huculak’s latest End of the Earth cartoon riffs on #yegwords and #yegtraffic.
• Lowetide reminisces eloquently before setting up the new hockey season.
