Edmonton is underrated

I’ve lived in Edmonton for over a decade and I’d just like to say that I’ve never really seen the whole thing behind “Edmonton is boring” or calling the city “deadmonton”, in fact I’ve found a lot to do in the city from the year round festivities, the numerous indoors and outdoor events and overall the city has something of a relaxed atmosphere to it in comparison to places like Toronto or Vancouver. That isn’t to say that Edmonton isn’t without its flaws because there are many, however Edmonton usually tends to be a city that can be overlooked in a lot of ways. Our transit isn’t perfect but I can say with confidence it’s better than what Calgary has and close to other major cities, the parks are great year round and I’ll be honest I don’t think that you can say that you can go snowboarding downtown in most Canadian cities. I’d even go to say that we have the best sports teams and despite all the flack our provincial government gives us, I’d say that this city does its best to be resilient in its own way. I do believe Edmonton itself is underrated and it’s something I wish wasn’t so much the case.
