That's right, you thought I couldn't top the World's Largest Ukrainian Garlic Sausage. Well, this is certainly a borderline tacky tourist attraction, but it's WAY more photogenic then that ugly meat ring a few kilometres away in Mundare.

Winter is a great time to remember summer, is it not? What is it about this annual exhibition that inspires my love/hate relationship with crowds and cotton candy? If you're a bit confused on what I'm talking about, here's a look at Capital Ex - an annual festival that we get to enjoy - or not, every July.

How tall would you have to be to claim the right to the title of World's Largest Ukrainian Sausage? Well, the fine people of Mundare, Alberta think that 42 feet ought a do it. This 'kubassa' weighs 6 tons, but to my disappointment I quickly discovered that it's not real meat.

In a land of meat-eating cowboys and oil rig roughnecks, you might not expect to find a restaurant whose claim to fame is their lack of animal products.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the dedication of this 'modern' science facility that has already been closed for more than two decades..but the quaint building in its forgotten state intrigues me.

Everyone where I live just calls it "the mall" and no one wonders what mall is being mentioned. And of course, being in the centre of North American car culture, the mall comes with it's own SUPER parking lot.

As expected, the Alberta Legislature is the site of serious business for the government of one of Canada's wealthiest provinces. But it is also a great place to find families picnicking and playing in one of the many fountains, community groups gathering to celebrate a multitude of occasions, lobby groups protesting something or another, and young men proposing marriage to their lovely ladies (as I did nearly 10 years ago).

Right across the street from Sir Winston Churchill Square is the building where our mayor and city councillors work. It is actually a pretty unique looking building because the roof is made up mostly of two asymmetrical glass pyramids.

Most Edmontonians speed past this gem of a park on their way to the Hockey Arena, Football Stadium, or the Horse races without even noticing it there, sitting so serenely in its familiar location for the last 100 years. Since I live only a few blocks from this park it has become a convenient place for me to walk, play with the kids, and snap photo after photo after photo.

If that sound like it has the potential to be a bit surreal then I got the title right. The Prairie Gardens Corn Maze is not quite in the middle of nowhere, but you'll pass it on the way there.

OK, so this isn't on the list of big attractions for the city with a massive indoor mall and tremendous river valley. It's probably not even any list of attractions for Edmonton. Nevertheless, there's a good chance you'll find me here if you stop by.

冬天不就是用來懷念夏天的好時機嗎？這跟教我又愛又恨，總是與人群和棉花糖分不開的年度展覽有什麼關係呢？如果你不太知道我在講什麼，來瞧瞧 Capital Ex ：一個我們逐漸享受其中（有嗎？），固定在每年七月舉辦的節慶吧！

I'm sick of constantly relying on my car to get to where I need to go, so I'm always on the look-out for interesting things to do in the neighbourhood close to home. This strip-mall basement bowling alley is a throw back to the 60s, and I've totally fallen in love with it. I've discovered that 5 pin bowling is something the whole family can enjoy - me, my wife, my five year old, and my 2-1/2 year old all have a blast at K-J Bowl.
