Strathcona and Legislature Buildings, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

We kept hearing about the Strathcona area of Edmonton – it is an historic district that is supposed to have lots of art galleries, shops, restaurants. Nope – it ws quite run down, “seedy”, is the better word. Since we were somewhat by the Legislature Buildings, we headed that way – the grounds were beautiful! The buildings themselves were very nice, and free tours are given on the hour, all year.
