@esteban: Of course I'll be back!
I've wanted this font for years, and now I'm able to make it, so giving up is not an option!
@Clash: Alberta.
Edmonton for the last 8 years or so, but I'm originally from Hinton.
If Hinton doesn't ring any bells, most people know it as the smelly pulp mill town that they stop in for gas on their way to Jasper. lol
When you're living there, you don't really notice the smell as much (depending on wind direction), and it has a beautiful view of the Rockies.
It used to be a little town in the sticks, and all we were really known for was our food.
L&W is one of the best family restaurants around (poutine with steak-cut fries? yes, please!), and nobody beats Gus's as far as pizza is concerned.
In the last decade or so, they've been expanding here and there and have even put up some "history installations".
Like, you know how at a nature park, there are signs telling you about the plants and the wildlife?
Kind of like that, only about the town's history. Also bears and mountain lions. lol
So now it's a moderate-sized town in the sticks.
They've also been trying to make the town more fun by adding a pretty okay
skate park, and one of the biggest
bike parks in the country.
You can check out some videos of each by clicking those links.
From the skate park, you can see the aforementioned pulp mill, as well as the rec centre and library.
As for Edmonton, there's not much to say. It's Edmonton.
We have a couple okay sports teams, lots of libraries, and a murder rate that rivals New York City.
Anyway, I guess that's all a little off-topic, but considering that this thread doubles as my introduction to the forums, now you guys know a little about me (or where I'm from at least)!
