We Were On a Break!

-

HEY Edmonton, I just wanted to give you an update on the future of I Heart Edmonton, for anyone who cares. I know that many of you have lost your reason for getting up in the morning when you read that "WE WERE ON A BREAK" (Ross, Friends)! But I've come to the realization that the world is just not the same without our little site. By the way, for any of you without a sense of humour, I'm a sarcastic kinda guy, so please don't think that I actually believe I Heart Edmonton is the best thing since sliced bread.

And while we're on the subject, I don't think sliced bread is all that great, so....

Anyways, what I'm saying is that I Heart Edmonton will be back soon (early April). I'm pretty excited to get back to work on this hyperlocal venture that gives me (and you) an insight on all the things going on in our amazing city, as well as all the innovative and intriguing projects in the works. Edmonton has a bright future, and I hope I Heart Edmonton will be there along for the ride.

But, there will be some changes to the site that I hope you beautiful & sexy readers welcome with open arms. First things first, we plan on having a couple of additional contributors to I Heart, who will bring their own strong opinions to any given number of issues that are happening in Edmonton. In fact, for anyone who is interested in submitting something to I Heart (and who can spell better than 90% of my Facebook "friends"), then please feel free to contact me at emerx2@hotmail.com. Your photos are also welcome.

Secondly, I Heart Edmonton will be going for quality rather than quantity. What that means is that we don't expect to produce as much material as we had in the past (though that's just in theory), so as to offer more interesting and informative things for you to skim over or ignore altogether. That's just my sarcasm kicking in again.

Thirdly, there will be a new design to I Heart, because outer beauty is simply more important than inner beauty. I joke! Hopefully, you will enjoy the new look as much as I force myself to...once I come up with one. There will be a few other smaller changes as well, but they're all for the better, I assure you. Also, if any of you gorgeous readers of I Heart have any suggestions for us, feel free to contact me, again at emerx2@hotmail.com. And we also have Twitter and Facebook pages if you prefer to contact us that way instead.

So, as I Heart Edmonton moves forward I hope that you will join us, and welcome us back into your home, or workplace if you don't have a scrupulous boss such as myself. Thank you for baring with us while I Heart took a breather, and for visiting the site in the first place. Take care for now Edmonton and see you soon!

Emil Tiedemann,
I Heart Edmonton

    Draft Blogger has some nifty new templates available in the Layout section (Template Designer). They come pretty darn close to being as pretty as Wordpress templates and are very customizable.

    Looking forward to the comeback!

The Tips, the Timeline, and the Top 15 Best Donair Shops in Edmonton By Emil Tiedemann Where is the best donair in the Edmonton region?! It's been the subject of serious (but not really) debate for many years now and there are literally hundreds of options for us spoiled Edmontonians to choose from. In fact, there are more restaurants that offer donairs in Edmonton than any other city in the country, with 212 different locations according to the Yellow Pages  (as of February 2021).  The "Edmonton-style" donair (photo by Athena Gourmet Foods) That's 83 more than Vancouver, which has the second-most amount of eateries that offer donairs (129 according to the Yellow Pages), and well-over double what Halifax, known as "the birthplace of the donair," has to offer (79). By the way, in case you were unaware, "Edmonton-style" donairs are different from those native to Halifax for various reasons, which you can find out more about here .  Donairs, which for

Did You Know? (Boston Pizza)

e A LTHOUGH the name may lead you to believe otherwise, the Canadian staple of Boston Pizza was conceived right here in the city of Edmonton. Greek immigrant Gus Agioritis opened the doors to Boston Pizza & Spaghetti House back in 1964, with almost no experience in the restaurant business, but by 1970 there were 17 BP locations (15 franchised) in Western Canada. In 1968 RCMP officer Jim Treliving (of Dragon's Den ) established the first Boston Pizza franchise, in Penticton, B.C. Along with partner George Melville , Treliving was instrumental in the rise of the pizza (etc.) chain, which now has over 370 restaurants throughout North America (known as Boston's The Gourmet Pizza in the U.S.), including two in Mexico. There are currently 22 BP locations in Edmonton alone. e

A Few Minutes With...Colin Close

'I Heart' gets up Close & personal (sorry, I like puns!) with Whitehorse musician Colin Close BY EMIL TIEDEMANN " M OVING into our first night in the 'real world' my stomach growls a fierce anticipation for my next meal. I'm warm enough to survive the night, but not full enough to lose my thoughts to achieve a few hours of sleep. This is our first night together and as strangers to these streets we all face a certain uncertainty." Sounds like the rouse of a fictive novel, or perhaps the memoirs of a jilted past. Nope, it's actually the first entry of a young man's blog , recalling his accounts of spending five days in the life of a homeless person . And that young man is one Colin Close , an Edmonton, by-way-of Whitehorse, singer and songwriter, musician and humanitarian in the making. But Close, 23, is modest about his spare time contributions. "I haven't done much in terms of established volunteering. I did some through school, coll
