No more Gold in Edmonton? Ex Says it all.
Just noticed from another board that Edmonton's weeklong Summer midway is no longer called Klondike Days, but after much deliberation, (and likely Edmonton taxpayer money, just like the $ spent renaming of Calgary Trail North and wasting 1$ million on a slogan change that never happened) its been rebranded, called the "Capital Ex".
Does this mean the top hat, cane, and wild frontier atmosphere are gone? Replaced by more mullets and Converse wearers watching Trooper on a steamy July night at the "Ex"? Sounds like 1983 in Toronto.
There's something to be said for tradition and history...
