People are hilariously discussing the "most Edmonton thing you can do"

“Take a risk; it’s the most Edmonton thing you can do,” reads a mural on the side of a building at 10150 100th Street. Since the artwork’s unveiling in 2016, the “most Edmonton thing you can do” has been a recurring debate among locals.

The question sparked a frenzy last spring after a 26-year-old man became trapped inside the Talus Dome after climbing on top of the art installation and falling in. Firefighters had to rescue him, prying him out and damaging some of the balls in the process. He was later charged with mischief over $5,000.

Local radio station SONiC 102.9 posed the question to listeners, and the responses were incredible, with “becoming trapped inside public art” topping the list.

More recently, CBC’s Radio Active had a little fun with the question, and the responses were just as hilarious.

 

 

So embrace the spirit of adventure and unpredictability that makes this city what it is, whether it’s scaling a public art installation or riding the enormous baseball bat on 118th Avenue. It’s the most Edmonton thing you can do, after all. While you’re at it, though, try to avoid getting trapped inside a dome.
