Didn’t realize that there was a thread on this:

Culina @ Victoria GC
http://www.connect2edmonton.ca/showt...na-Victoria-GC


And maybe this:

Should we allow things like this along the river?

So Vancouver is about to open a cactus club on a beach in english bay, but no Edmonton, don't touch the river valley.

'Should we allow things like this along the river?'

100% yes. Not everywhere, but in already developed spots.

I saw an exchange on twitter this morning with someone suggesting maybe the Edmonton Prospects/ReMax Field open a space for the people from Dogwood Cafe, which I thought was a great idea. Turns out ReMax Field already has something in the works for a restaurant/cafe called Smoke & Pickle (?) for this summer.

Here's hoping there's a patio. This is the type of valley commercialization that makes sense.

Copy/paste from another thread:

Actually, I was at Riverside on Saturday. $5 for a terrible hot dog that took 10 minutes because they didn't have any ready (at 11:45 am with a full tee sheet on a beautiful Saturday), both ketchup and mustard were basically empty, no other toppings and $4 for a 500ml Coke. I'd probably have paid the $8.50 for a beer, but they didn't have any as they haven't sorted out their liquor license yet.

*slow clap*

Those prices are 20% or so higher than at private courses, by the way. Pretty sure a Steamwhistle supercan at the Edmonton Country Club is $7.50.

And yes, off topic, I'll take it to the appropriate thread.

It was Red Table, otherwise known as Civeo.

^ For reference, last year at Dogwood Cafe (Victoria GC), beer prices ranged from $5.75 for a can of domestic up to $8.00 for a craft 500 mL.
