I can say I believe I know of at least 4 over the past few years.It's gotten pretty big and with it's distance to Edmonton it's kind of a decent spot to set up a crime syndicate lol.

That would make sense. I do remember they had those shiny labelsI was thinking this is the one with backwards S
Shiny labels are identical
I think the cigarette operation put a big target on themselves, government are losing $million on tax income, the rest is just bonus for the photo-op. A legit carton is about $170 where these illegal is $40!!Im amazed that they had two motorcycle gangs, multiple firearms vests and ammunition and the only product they had was illegal cigarettes and gear lol. Seems like a waste of a bust they didnt even get any narcotics off the street.
Maybe won’t get as bad as Vancouver / Toronto. But I’m assuming it’s only going to get more expensive, fast.I think the cigarette operation put a big target on themselves, government are losing $million on tax income, the rest is just bonus for the photo-op.

I live just south of Edmonton, the population growth of AB in last few years is driving up everything, I just hope it doesn’t get too out of control like Vancouver.
Thanks for sharing the stories haha. Beaumont is growing like crazy now too. Where do you live now if you don’t mind me asking?I was out visiting my brother in August.
Sherwood Park is nothing like when I grew up there. I went to school at ABJ. At that time there was 4 RCMPcars to do the hamlet and outlying area. It was great you were pretty much free to do anything.
I actually lived out past Elk Island Park off of HWY 14. My address was RR1 New Sarepta, lol. Dad owned the whole square between RR 214-215 and township road 510 (correction line) and 509 I'm just going to say (never drove that far down to read the sign, it was opposite direction of the highway.
Then when I moved back from Kelowna, I lived in Ottewell because my shop was on the corner of 50st and 101 ave. And in 2004 moved back to Sherwood park, was still nothing like it is now. But in the 4 years I lived there before moving to Ontario, my drive went from 15 minutes to get to work (you could fly down baseline road after you got to hwy 14) to 40 minutes because it had grown so much in that 4 years and all the increased stop lights. Sherwood Park is a mad house now.
I remember when I was 16 baseline road was a gravel back road, only thing on it was OLPH Church. We used to call it 6 pack road, because that was the route you took if you had been drinking. Never any cops or cars.
Oh and as a side note, I was the guy who got Sherwood Park Freeway after hwy 21 changed to 100 km from 80 km back in 1987 because I drove over all the speed limit signs on both sides and took them with me because I was pissed that it was only 80 km, hoping they would change it to 100 km (the good old days when the 70's cars had a full steel bumper). We burned the signs at a bush party. Month later when they put the new ones up 100 km, oh yeah.
We also moved stop signs intown at 3 am to where we wanted them. Where my buddy lived the stop signs were on the road I took to get there and I hated it, so we drove them over and pulled them out, then rammed them into the other side. And they left it, lol.
I wouldn't want to live in Sherwood Park now. It's too much, I'd live in Nisku or Beaumont now, or out a bit in the country.
My parents live in Beaumont now, my sister in Nisku and Brother is in Sherwood park. Most of my family is in the Edmonton or area around it.Thanks for sharing the stories haha. Beaumont is growing like crazy now too. Where do you live now if you don’t mind me asking?
Interesting. Glad things worked out for you and your family moving out east. Thanks for sharing.My parents live in Beaumont now, my sister in Nisku and Brother is in Sherwood park. Most of my family is in the Edmonton or area around it.
I am the black seep that left, lol.
Leaving wasn’t really a choice, in 2008 the management company sent us a letter stating they were tearing down our stripmall to build a Rexal and we were all kick out. Both my wife and I work at the shop, so we couldn’t wait over a year to get something built in the middle of the boom.
Plus I couldn’t find a suitable location.
My wife is from Ontario, and every year I’d go out to visit in September, float down the Rideau Canal, drink some beer swim in the water then come home to snow. So we packed up the whole shop, sold my house (I had bought preboom and made a small fortune in profit) and moved out east.
Found a location and had the shop open again in 8 months. I was able to live off of my house sale, plus buy an older house that needed work with the money I made. Once the shop got going and I knew we would be fine, I spent the last 50,000 to put in an inground pool.
Do I miss Edmonton sometimes, a bit, but this move improved my financial situation greatly. Only took 16 months to match the sales I made at the shop in Edmonton, we now do about 5 times the sales. The shop was in Edmonton for 13 years, we have been open here for 17.
The boom in Edmonton didn’t help my business, it was the opposite, couldn’t hire staff, and everyone was working so much at that time, less people were making home cooked meals. Our margins had shrank because of the inflation.
I sent you a message about where I live. A lot of the regulars on here know where I am, but I don’t want to mention it because I don’t know all the new members very well.

Yeah will be GEA, instead of GTA, greater Edmonton area at some point soon lol.Edmonton is evolving into Toronto... I don't see much difference between present day Edmonton and Toronto 15 years ago..
Could be comparable, but even 15 years ago the GTA was fucking nuts.Edmonton is evolving into Toronto... I don't see much difference between present day Edmonton and Toronto 15 years ago..
