That folk fest photo should be front and center in every marketing material about Edmonton, it's great.

I'm notifying Travel Alberta about that folk fest pic as we speak. I'll also remind them there's far more to Alberta tourism than just the Banff-Calgary corridor.

Exactly, so narrow-minded.

^still there. now called the Devonian, I believe. houses Cactus Club and Structube. (the older photo exhibits a bit of perspective distortion making the building seem closer) https://www.google.com/maps/@53.5408...8192?entry=ttu

^ seriously? I would have sworn the one cactus club is in is a new building. The Esso one looks turned 15 degrees or so. But I could be 100% wrong. Interesting if it's the same old building....

Edit: you're right, looks like it was built in phases - 1956 and 1976. I'm probably just remembering the retrofit.

Neat-o! Cool Sign.
