This is a bit about update from transforming Edmonton. Group "Make Something Edmonton" will kick off a launch party on March 21 at 6pm at Edmonton time. +Edmonton Journal will stream it. Join in or take a look at live from Edmonton at a link below.
First install Livestream and put the word Edmonton Journal on search to follow. It is awesome to be able to introduce Edmonton internationally to all people. Arigatai.
Actually Plans of development for streets and transit has been carried on. Besides that, there has been city branding exercise for Edmonton being ready to export homegrown pride. What I'm impressed by is the spirit of
"Edmonton is a great place to activate an idea."
"Edmontonians are most proud of things that were grown here."
I'm not a local grown here but somehow excited about hoping to have a slogan and images to sell what Edmonton really is to the world. I like to keep an eye on.
Today I like to introduce Edmonton Artist that I found in +Edmonton Journal . The column is sponsored by family operated radio station Rawlco. Enjoy the sounds at each artist's homepage.
"I bought it but somehow I don't wear" or "I don't wear this dress any more."
Then this bin can help you to throw it in and also help a designated organization to send it to people who really need. That way people can easily recycle from the unnecessary to the necessary in a daily life. It's thank - worthy system to have in neighbors.
He shoots a shot, records a scene, coordinates space and edits his works. Looks like it is filled with stitches of work. He enjoys how he stitches on a canvas. Looks like busy. He says,"Very creative. I enjoy it."
I found myself exchanging shooting with him and enjoying the day. "Thanks for sharing interesting work, John"
One moment I saw "him speaking to an Edmontonian with tools", then next 'Ow!' "speaking in front of tools by himself on a skate rink". I was supposed to go home on the way back from dealing with different stuffs. He made me stop by skate rink in front of City Hall.
I used to be far from a person who read a newspaper. I was not an initiator who subscribed "Edmonton Journal". I found myself being one of their readers everyday. I feel they are contributing themselves to local people. They are something or somebody. Here is more.
Some writers and photographers have been nomitated in National titled competetion.
Here is interesting video from them. Take a transition look at here.
Today was the day for city of Edmonton to present a long span (20 year) of plan for development of public space around Churchill Square all the way to River Valley. To see what will Edmonton look like, the best way for me was to see images than to read the detail of letter. The details are still coming in a way along with another brainstorming day by day and year by year.
At first glance, "Oh". It felt me so familiar with me somehow. "Pedestrian friendly with seanson of trees." "Mixed used project for Music hall." "Culture Carpet" zone is where people can exchange unique art? hopefully something new or heritaged not only worldwide or locally but also private level? People should have such "one". I'm excited to see how this area will be transforming since this area has been associated with me a lot since i came here.
Churchill Square will be a hub station where people can travel from.
A town grows in 10 - 15 years which is normal course.
I like to introduce City's plan with panel of pictures as they are.
