These local businesses will make your life easier

We all get that feeling – the one that there aren’t enough hours in the day. You get up, go to work, plan your meals, run errands and, by the time you finally sit down, you can’t even bare the thought of doing one more thing. Well, what if I told you that you didn’t have to? These Edmonton businesses can fill in the gaps, giving you more time to do the one thing you NEED to do: Nothing! [Image credit: iStock.com/Xavier Arnau]

Look here for local works of art

We’ve all heard about Picasso and Van Gogh, painters from half a world away that have made their mark (or brushstroke, shall we say?) on art history. But, contrary to what prestigious curators may tell you, you don’t always have to look far for a creative masterpiece. Find inspiring artwork by Edmonton artists at these locations and see for yourself! [Image credit: iStock.com/PeopleImages]

Businesses with deep Edmonton roots

It’s well known that businesses often disappear as quickly as they pop up. Seventy per cent of new restaurants that make it past the one-year mark close their doors before making it to five years. Many start-up businesses face similar odds. But, in Edmonton, there are the exceptions – shops and enterprises that have stood the test of time. [Image credit:iStock.com/wsfurian]
