Today is special for two reasons! It's Earth Day AND we’re celebrating the 47th year of the Capital Line LRT! On April 22, 1978, we proudly opened the LRT line, coinciding with the Commonwealth Games. Back then, the LRT line had just 5 stops along the CN right-of-way, connecting Belvedere Station to Coliseum and Stadium Stations and ending downtown at Churchill and Central Stations. Happy Birthday, Capital Line! And remember, when riding ETS, you are helping the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. #Yeg #YegTransit #EarthDay Photos courtesy of the City of Edmonton Archives.

Following a vital rehabilitation, the historic Ortona Armoury building has reopened! Built in 1914, this designated Municipal Historic Resource will continue to serve as an arts and community hub, operated by Arts Habitat.

The project, which received @CdnHeritage funding, also added a covered courtyard & elevator. Learn more: edmonton.ca/OrtonaArmouryReh… or conta.cc/3ZsCjnM #Yeg #YegArts

A short introduction to Gothic Architecture:

A realtor here talks about wanting to avoid demolition of the Princess Theatre. Just so that everyone is aware, it's a Provincial Historic Resource and so is legally protected from demolition. But it needs a good new owner to take care of it. #yegheritage edmonton.ctvnews.ca/princess…

“When you add up the cost of the mortgage, plus the cost of owning, operating, maintaining, and insuring those vehicles, you see that it’s much more expensive than the sticker price of the house initially led you to believe.” edmonton.taproot.news/news/2…

Postmodern #yegarchitecture details I love: air intakes astride a door celebrated with the building's brightest brick; brick quoins facing inward rather than outward on a chamfered corner to highlight ... a downspout! -- Institute of Religion, 1987, architect Robert Bennett

Five minute frequency is the holy grail of transit service. No need to even think about the schedule because the next arrival is literally right around the corner. I ❤️ @yegvalleyLRT.
