Talk:Old Strathcona
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does anyone know what happened to Cafe LaGare? It's significance is, in my opinion, examplaty of the transformation of Whyte Ave from a largely un-branded, sub-cultureesque community into whatever it is today. Consider LaGare, and is mysterious dissapearance, a metaphor.
Yes, I do. Cafe LaGare went out of business when the trend it started overtook it. Too many good coffee stores in better locations. LaGare could not compete. Old Strathcona has some brands but mostly it is local business. Want local business to stay? Support it.
I am proud of having seen this article on Whyte Avenue. It is indeed a terrific and unique place of culture and entertainment in Edmonton!
[edit] Bars
Should not something be said of the 3000 bar seats along Whyte Ave, or the Canada riots? Mr Minchin 03:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I think that Old Strathcona desrves its own article, apart from Edmonton.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.148.229.44 (talk • contribs).
- Oppose. It's typical for neighborhoods of major cities to have articles. See Category:New York City neighborhoods, Category:Districts of London, Category:Montreal neighbourhoods as examples. Edmonton might not be on the same level of "global cities" as those, but there's enough detail specific about Old Strathcona that the article can stand on its own. Though, it's entirely unreferenced and needs cleanup. The Edmonton article is way too long as is, with it's length a reason why it won't pass WP:FAC. Merging more detail into the main article only exacerbates that situation. To the contrary, the Edmonton article needs to cut down on detail and put detail in subarticles. --Aude (talk) 21:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose. Old Strathcona is not only deserving of its own article, there should be more articles on Edmonton neighbourhoods like Oliver and Riverdale. --Somewildthingsgo (talk) 21:24, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
