Love the feeling of being there. Lots to do. Shopping, eating and Farmers Market. Nothing I don't like about it.
Great to eat,shop and hang out with friends. Make sure you check out the farmers markets on Saturdays :)
Old Strathcona is definitely a place you need to check out of you're visiting Edmonton. Make the trip! It won't disappoint!
This great market well worth a visit. Lots of interesting things on sale (not cheap). Selection of locally produced organic foods particularly impressive and we much enjoyed the cinnamon buns!
There are plenty of unique and interesting shops, cafes, bars, restaurants in Old Strathcona, especially along Whyte Ave. During the summer it's festival season and the farmer's market on saturdays
This area on the south side of Edmonton is truly an interesting visit. Walking down Whyte Avenue, looking at the old buildings, the very interesting and uniques stores is a great summer treat (nice weather for walking). There are people playing instruments, lots of out door seating areas, lots of people to watch and the shopping is terrific. I believe Edmonton is known for the Strathcona Area for good reasons.
Wonderful place to wander. Many small shops containing many hidden treasures. Make sure to allow lots of time for browsing.
This is a good place to do some walking when the weather is good. It gets a little cold during the winter, but I still like walking here on warmish days in the winter. You get one off stores here that you can't get in the shopping malls. Day times are the best for families. Too much drinking and partying in the evenings.
We have our favorites such as Strathcona market, Mikes News stand,Indigo and venture into other stores north and south of 82 avenue.
Always busy with little of real interest on display. Restaurants overpriced compared to other areas of city. Better options exist.
