Weekend itineraries: the weather is changing

With the weather cooling off outside, Arkadium Retro Arcade is the perfect place to have fun inside! This place is stocked full of those classic arcade video games and pinball machines that you remember from when you were younger. Don’t worry about hauling your quarters or loonies to play; you just need to pay the entrance fee. Their 5th annual Halloween Bash is on Saturday, and make sure to check out their customer appreciation event which lasts until the end of December.  

Have you discovered one of our local bakery and deli gems yet? Everyday Food Co. on Brentwood Boulevard is a great place to stock up on your bakery needs, and yes, you do need to treat yourself to a cinnamon bun. Keep an eye on their social media pages for daily announcements of their soup and sandwich lunch specials and enjoy some delicious food while supporting local. 𝘗𝘴𝘴𝘴𝘵.... this place was voted best handheld by Edify Edmonton in their Best Restaurants 2024 for their spicy beef sandwich. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. 

With cooler temperatures on the horizon, you might be looking for a new hobby to take up during the winter months. Head to Scrap and Bean on Broadview Drive and Broadway Boulevard to browse their selection. With a huge assortment of scrapbooking supplies, watercolour pencils, and more, you’re sure to fill your spare time with plenty of new projects. Check out their website for various classes, such as Christmas card making.
