City changes

Visiting a place periodically for me seems a bit like an LDR... intense, a short time spent in person, and the intervening absence makes small changes more readily apparent. Example: North Woods Hemp Shop "Alberta's Premier Cannabis Location" on a walk up Whyte Ave this morning. I remember walking past the shop on previous visits, but I don't remember them being quite as bold about their advertising. A small change, perhaps, but noticeable. Or liquor stores being privatised, likewise. And the local economy is doing well, a refreshing change from the gloom and unemployment at home.

When one is fond of the locale (as I have become of this place) the LDR analogy is even closer. But time to pack...

Nice to hear about your visit! Did you visit the Hemp Shop? On a sadder noted, did you see the after-effects of the fire?

Liquor stores have been privatized since before I moved to Edmonton, actually.
