Edmonton has it's great points. Summers are nice and warm, the River Valley is nice, and there is some great walking around the U of A / Garneau / Whyte Ave / Westmount / Oliver / Glenora / Queen Alexandra and through the River Valley to connect them all.
Edmonton actually has decent farmers markets, and good golf can be found throughout the city.
Why am I telling you this? Because I am likely moving up there next year, and I'm trying to convince myself of the same thing
