 | | At 670 km², Edmonton is one of the largest cities in North America, by area -- larger in area than Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit. |
 | | Nightlife in Edmonton is mostly limited to the Whyte Avenue (82 Avenue) strip, and to a lesser extent, Jasper Avenue. |
 | | More officially, Edmonton is nicknamed "Gateway to the North", "City of Champions" (which is not in reference to the success of the Oilers and Eskimos, but originally said by the mayor in the aftermath of the tornado of '87) and "Canada's Festival City" (for the Fringe Festival and other summer festivals.) |
