Thank you so much to everyone who took part in #yegquest - whether you played along online, in person or just re-boosted. Here are a few photos from one of our doughty questers, Linda Hut, who set out wearing one of the original #yegquest T-shirts from 2013! (I still have mine, too.) #Edmonton #yeg #ValleyLine #LRT
Thanks to Ryan Jespersen for having me on today to talk about the fall of X, the future of Mastodon, the fate of Bill C-18, the problems with an Alberta Pension Plan, the troubling rise of antisemitism and Islamophobia sparked by the tragedies in Israel and Gaza, AND the #yegquest Henday chicken hunt. https://www.youtube.com/live/ysQ1k2gseCg?si=RbtcaLph6ckmh_3f #Mastodon #C18 #CPP #AlbertaPensionPlan #yeg #Edmonton #Alberta #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #LRT

Working through my open tabs...

I can't remember who shared this little article about the history of "Lee's Food Market" in Edmonton's Strathearn neighbourhood, but it contains a useful clue if you're still planning to try @Paulatics' Valley Line #yegquest.

LEE’S FOOD MARKET An Unlikely Story of Longevity - Issuu

The ongoing life of Lee’s Food Market is an unlikely story. A simple 1948 one-storey building was the origin of this family business – a corner store in the post-war Edmonton neighbourhood of Strathearn.

You find all six clues right here in my feed. Solve one, solve a few, solve them all? Post your photos here with the #yegquest hashtag - and tag me, just to be sure I don't miss you. So far, the only person on Mastodon to tackle the challenge has been @jfmezei - all the way from Montreal! Surely one of you lovely #yeg residents is up to the task? On this lovely holiday Monday, I throw down the gauntlet! #Edmonton #yeg #Mastodon
Congratulations to Jennie Lambert, the first person to solve all the #yegquest clues - via Instagram. Jennie and her little bear have participated in all the last 3 quests! Here are some photos from their adventures to inspire you! Come on, Mastodon! Time to catch up with the folks on Instagram! Solve the six clues & post your pics! #yeg #Edmonton #EdmontonTransit #ValleyLine #Diwali
A #yegquest update. Big big props to @jfmezei - who despite not living in Edmonton at all, was the first person to post his #yegquest answers! Since I can't quote-toot (one feature, I confess, that I do miss) I will shortly reboost an assortment of his quest answers. I hope that will inspire you those of you who ARE in Edmonton on this glorious weekend to get out there in person and post photos of your own! #yeg #Edmonton #valleyLine
Headed out to #yegquest? Bragging rights to the first person who posts all six correct answers with matching photos. But don't despair. You have until Friday at midnight to finish posting your answers! But mostly, I hope this will be an inspiration to people to get out to explore their city and to enjoy the new Valley Line. (All clues are easy walking distance from Valley Line stations. But not inside the stations, so if you'd rather bike or walk or drive, that works too. #yeg #Edmonton

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Here that answer’s an easy one.
A road without cars is much more fun.
If you’re a hen, or so I’m told.
With names on the double, a hen’s delight
(Even though she can’t take flight.)

Angels here can mark the way.
Near irons flat and trees times two.
Where multicoloured snowflakes fall
Against a wall of cobalt blue.

We’re in a land of folk and flowers
Of pointy glass with mythic powers.
Can you find this work of art?
(I’m sure you can. You’re very smart.)
