Default Alberta's Old Businesses - post your memories please!

The Ambassador Hotel Edmonton (early 80's? it was vague) downstairs lounge featuring BB King and it didn't fill the house. Unbelievable!!

Woodward's in the Northgate Mall. Used to get the groceries from there.

The Londonderry Mall movie theater with its '70s red carpet.

WW Arcade downtown 97st

Dad bought me my first fly rod from there... blue fiberglass... still use it.

I miss the NoJack hotel....

York Hotel Bar in Edmonton. We used to go there when we were young to play one game of pool and have a beer just to see if we could make it out alive.
