I don’t know actually. About two months before they closed, I asked a staff person, and they said they didn’t know at that point. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to return after that.

Arrrrrrrgh! What the…? That’s depressing. Did they move locations or simply close altogether?

Karen – I agree with you about the neighbourhood – it is quiet and feels very safe. Elephants Never Forget has unfortunately closed, and has been replaced with an athletic wear store.

Angel – I indeed neglected to mention Paddy’s! As I wasn’t on a food shopping trip, I just passed it by, but it is a great destination for fine cheeses.

Mack – I guess I consider it a pocket park because I would never expect a park where Paul Kane is located! But yes, perhaps its size exceeds the definition of “pocket”.

Hope you bought me something nice

I think Paul Kane Park is probably too large to be considered a true pocket park! It is a great park though.

Life would not be complete without Paddy’s. We pretty much go there twice a month to High Street to replenish our cheese and candy stocks.

Having tasted proper parmesan cheese, I can’t live without it.

I used to live across the street from Paul Kane Park in a not-so-great walk up but I absolutely loved the neighbourhood. I never felt unsafe walking around early in the morning or late at night. That part of Oliver Square was so quiet despite being so close to Jasper Ave and I loved how busy the park got in the summer time. High Street is one of Edmonton’s best shopping spots and yet a lot of people I mention it to have no clue what I’m talking about. It’s been a while since I headed back down that way but my fave’s were Elephants Never Forget and Paddy’s Cheese Market. And, of course, Call the Kettle Black. Dangerous, dangerous store.
