ahhh, it is nice to see Edmonton as it was back then. The city was a much nicer place to live in those days. With our recent oil and population boom we have unfortunately adopted many more unsavory citizens than could have been imagined previously. Nicest view of downtown imho is going west down 98th avenue towards the james macdonald bridge.

Ah, Edmonton 1986. The depths of the oil bust, no jobs, stores closing, buildings burning down, river flooding, and people moving out.... But the sun shines.
McDonald Hotel in the middle of an endless renovation gone wrong. LRT goes to Corona station. Fifth street viaduct over the rail yards still in place. Old city hall known to be a wreck, but new one six years away.

In 1986 I fantasized about Edmonton since I lived in northern alberta and wanted out. It was a fantasy place full of opportunity for me

I was 1 year old in 1986 and boy Edmonton sure changed today.

This video was actually shot the exact month I moved to Edmonton, the summer between grades 3 and 4 for me. I share the nostalgia a lot of people share here and I think the city is now different, for the worse.

@quacka101 Same. I just saw that I counted the years incorrectly. I was 8 in the summer of 86. Either way :)

@OddManOut13 dude, i complete agree with you. i would move back there in a heartbeat if i could

Cool video. Manulife looks sooooo out of place (i.e. too modern for the rest of the skyline at the time).
And to the people whining about the most recent oil boom causing grief get a grip. Edmonton has always been a town that rode the wave of economic boom and bust. What do you think it was like during the gold rush?

what is the music in this video?
