1. The bolded part is untrue. Many, many families and shoppers got to West Ed. Don't kid yourself.
2. It's the hipster thing to "avoid tourist traps" in their own city and disparage them. That isn't specifically limited to Edmonton. And even then, it's because locals have likely seen them before and don't need to go again, not because of a conscious effort to avoid tourists, teens, and scuzzy types.
