Hi
Somayya,
Below is
a brief article about what Edmonton is like
today:
Summer
festivals are being cancelled in Edmonton, the City of
Festivals, due to the coronavirus.
The
latest is the International Fringe Fringe Festival, the largest one in the
world outside of Edinburgh.
Also
cancelled are the Jazz Festival, Rainmakers Rodeo in St. Albert, and the
Shakespearean Festival. Add to that the June schedule of the CFL and the
Eskimos, with no guarantee of even a partial football season.
Will the
domino effect continue and take out K-Days, Taste of Edmonton, Cariwest, and the Folk Festival. No pancakes
at the Legislature this year at Rachel Notley`s constituency, perhaps.
The
museums, libraries, zoo, Fort Edmonton, and Space Science
Centre are closed.
Add to
that the closing of school, the malls closures and limited bus traffic,
and Edmonton is resembling a ghost town. Our only
salvation is a vaccine, to prevent a deadly recurrence if things open up too
soon.
How are
things in Atlanta?
I am
still writing and have over 140 pages done.
Keep up
the good spirit. And best wishes to you and your family|
Bob Price.
