I've copied your question about restaurants into your lead post. Thought it might help stimulate debate.

I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The city is the seat of provincial government, although Calgary is much bigger. As a result there is fierce rivalry between the two cities, particularly in football and hockey.

The city is home to West Edmonton Mall, the worlds biggest shopping mall.

More will follow. I'm trying to remember the name of my favorite restaurant, but it slipped my mind.

Lol my city Fort Worth and our neighbors Dallas have friendly competition we share all the sports teams, and Dallas has the most amount of Shops and restaurants per cap in the USA. The City that has rivals with our Metroplex (DFW) is the Houston area, even though Houston is the 4th biggest city in the USA, Dallas still has more fame than Houston, NEVER GO TO A WEBSITE THAT IS CALLED DALLAS VS HOUSTON it's like having a war, but technically Dallas is more world known than Houston. Um I'm not trying to be mean or anything but isn't the worlds biggest mall located in UAE, Dubai? Dubai has the worlds biggest building, mall, port, Amusement park (In progress), man made island, etc. and my favorite place to eat at is called P.F. Chang which is an Asian restaurant, and I use to like their restaurant in Dallas which is inside there reunion tower (It's the building that has a sphere on the top) but now it's also an Asian restaurant, used to be an American restaurant but its kinda pricey

There's probably some sort of dodgy counting mechanism at work at West Ed to make it the biggest in some way. It's still billed locally as the biggest in the world, but let me tell you from bitter experience, it has what feels like the worlds's smallest parking lot.

This is the newest skyscraper in Fort Worth I forgot what year it was built in but I like how it looks

It's called the Omni Hotel and I believe that they have hotels in a lot of major cities like LA Chicago NYC, Miami, Dallas, Houston etc.

So was there any parades or events that your cities had? Here in Fort Worth we had the "Parade of Lights" which was sponsored by Chase and Chesapeake, while our neighboring city Grand Prairie also had a light display, and another neighboring city had the radio city rockets play at there Verizon Theater ( The Rockets are from NYC, and they are world known for making good shows) The week before Thanksgiving Both Dallas and Fort Worth had giant parades for Veterans and Thanksgiving. I was going to post some pics but my memory is full, looks like I have to get rid of some pics :,( lol

Much the same in Canada James, 34 million and lots of elbow room, although I think the outback would be better than frozen tundra. :)

This is near where I live in Ontario. It is the Welland Canal with its series of locks to raise ships up over the Niagara Falls between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. This is part of the Saint Lawrence Seaway which allows ships from all over the world pass through the Great Lakes.

I wish the Trinity River here in Fort Worth was that blue :,( lol, our water comes from the trinity bay in Houston then the river runs all the way through Waco, Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas, and water pumps clean out water (It taste clean and fresh just don't like the idea of what they recycle, I try forgetting that the water we drink is literally um waste if you know what I mean lol) and the grass seems greener, here in Texas whenever it floods the grass turns tropical greenish when there is heat waves our grass turns yellow, brown, orange-brownish, black (A fire burns the grass and leaves it black), or it turns into a bright yellow red and orange color lol (Aka Wild fire)

Our rivers are white now for the most part, and it won't be too long before you can drive a truck across some of them.
