I don't take the transit/LRT much anymore, so I'm personally wondering how do you get there from the Northgate/Kingsway Transit and will they allow you to bring your school backpack in to watch the training camp tomorrow? Much appreciated for info.

You realize that you were just helped out by someone who's been living in Europe for a number of years...right.

You're lucky he didn't give you the London subway system planner. :D

I can read at least, so thankfully the system was in Edmonton. :laugh:

the joy about knowing and figuring out the London underground--no other transit is difficult to figure.

A few years ago my ex-sister in law was playing in Stockholm and she was concerned about me finding her house. Very simple.

want to have fun--trying figuring out travel using Underground, Over ground, and the UK train system and for good measure a bus or to

took me about three years to figure out the quickest way to get around and there are actual clubs/organizations that have fun with the underground-- once or twice a year there is an event where you have to step foot on every station of both the underground and over ground.

Just quick look at the Underground

270 stations with an annual ridership of 1.23 BILLION some people use 10 times a day

over ground there are only 83 stations

As per that wiki page:

"On June 18, 2011 over 400 people marched through Edmonton to make a stand against gun and knife crime."

Seems as though papa (city) has some of the same problems as son (city). Hehe.
