Edmonton’s own French quarter a surprising mix
Perched just above the south side of the river, tucked in along the east side of Mill Creek, Strathearn and Bonnie Doon can seem out-of-the-way to those who live outside the neighbourhoods, even though they’re only a few minutes’ drive from downtown.

Edmonton’s neighbourhood shops connect with community
A generation or two ago, when many moms stayed home and kids hung around the neighbourhood, the corner store was a hub of activity. Often, the store sold a fair variety of groceries and was book-ended by other handy shops — a drugstore and maybe a beauty salon. Sometimes there was a local coffee shop, or a tiny, jam-packed hardware store.

Ellerslie an enticing mix of all you need
Not that long ago, Edmontonians who ventured south of 23rd Avenue were either driving to the airport or to Calgary. Even now, the Ikea store at the tail end of South Edmonton Common signals the unofficial end of the city along Highway 2, and few of us travel east or west of it in search of anything except the occasional suburban address of a friend.

Sweet flavours of the southwest of Edmonton
If you don’t live in Terwillegar, Magrath or anywhere close to Edmonton’s deep southwest, you likely think of the region as a shopping wasteland full of gigantic grocery stores, gas stations and fast-food outlets.

Turning the corner on Edmonton’s Stony Plain Road
Stony Plain Road has for years been what is kindly called a neighbourhood in transition — one with lots of potential, some solid restaurants and a few renegade shopkeepers — but bogged down by a reputation for roughness and an overabundance of pawnshops, cash stores, sex shops and tattoo parlours.

Townsfolk proud to shop local
In our quest to get off the beaten path, we go farther afield this week, venturing outside the city’s limits. It’s a bit of a cheat admittedly, but Spruce Grove and Stony Plain are just beyond Edmonton’s western edge and are home to many who commute into the city. So in deference to those who spent so much of their day driving into Edmonton, why not take a day to drive out there and check out the shops springing up to serve travel-weary locals west of the

Edmonton’s corner on quaint: where customers know your name
Tucked alongside Mill Creek ravine, just south of downtown Edmonton and north of the light-industrial eyesore that clears the mind of all thoughts of shopping, 99th Street beckons with a quaint and quirky assortment of shops,

Shop away from the mall
Put “shop” and “west Edmonton” in the same sentence, and “mall” just naturally follows. But there’s more to shopping around the city’s west end than the massive mall. You just have to look a bit harder to find it.

Mill Woods shopping tour: On the trail of silks and spices
Mill Woods isn't the first neighbourhood that comes to mind when one thinks of shopping, and those who have been to the area's lone indoor mall will know why. But this series isn't about shopping malls; it's about finding the hot local spots where those in the know go, and in Mill Woods, there's no hotter spot than Little India.

Buying local in St. Albert
St. Albert is that interesting mix of historic community and suburb, home to legions of middle-class commuters but also to one of the province's oldest settlements, with its own rich heritage and, unlike most suburbs, its own downtown.

Little gems abound in Edmonton’s west end
Suburban shopping isn’t necessarily pretty. It often involves strip malls, concrete and driving, even in one’s own neighbourhood. But there’s a lot to be said for supporting local businesses, particularly when they’re a stone’s throw from your home, whether that’s in the suburbs, downtown or somewhere in between.
