Description
You probably already know Edmonton as the Festival City, with close to 40 festivals held year round, and the City with the Largest Mall in North America (West Edmonton Mall), but did you know Alberta's capital city is also downright strange, dare I say weird? For example, Edmonton is home to: - A host of ghosts and other supernatural beings, including the one that haunts the historic Princess Theatre on Whyte Avenue - A cowboy boot that stands over 12 metres tall - The bush pilot who valiantly fought the Red Baron in his last dogfight in World War I
Let's face it, this place is downright weird! But wonderfully so.
About the author
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Mark is no stranger to the “weirdness” of the city. Currently he works as a freelance communications writer and has written countless articles for various Albertan publications. He has previously published two other books about Alberta cities and was the contributing author on another nonfiction book. When he isn’t writing, Mark teaches workshops, paints, meditates and creates music. Imagination and creativity have always been important to him, which he says makes him a strange, big kid...it’s his super power.
