Edmonton’s October 29 Headlines

Good Thursday to you, dear Edmonton.

How goes it?

Before I forget to mention it, today is the anniversary of Black Tuesday. This still being a recession and all, the worst since that stock market crash, I thought it worth mentioning.

Thursday also means it’s Alt-weekly day, so don’t forget to check out what SEE and Vue are up to.

And, Thursday continues to be a boffo day for news.
