- Take an evening walk from downtown Regina, Saskatchewan, to the Crescents neighbourhood with science fiction and fantasy author and publisher Edward Willett.
After see this , my only dream is to move to canada esperanto regina ...thanks
Thank you for this great video Edward. You walked right past my late grandparents house on Robinson, and I was able to catch a quick glimpse of it in your video, so this was a wonderful trip down memory lane. I have so many memories of the Cathedral neighbourhood in the 60s and 70s. I see lots of changes, but it is also nice to see many of the smaller shops still remain.
Thanks for putting in the work to show us your city. I appreciate you & my UA-camr friend “Chris”. Will visit to live in Regina surely
I love Saskatchewan cities. They're just so clean and peaceful and the architecture is very nice. I'm from BC and Vancouver is beautiful, but is so dirty in comparison. It suffers from a big homelessness and drug addiction population.I just don't know if I could ever leave behind the incredible mountains we have for hiking and biking etc.
Looks like a haunted place...
Its so amazing looking at all these downtown buildings irl, I've been modeling them 1:1 in an MC online project and they remind me about the nice downtown builds we have!
Looks like a throwback to the pleasant but staid '50s. The main roads are too broad. It'd be a nice change of pace from too crowded toronto
It's very deifferent, for sure.
The only time I've ever really went/go downtown is when I was a kid or Im hammered hitting the bars 😆. Next summer I'm probably gonna spend time exploring regina.
THIS IS PERFECT FOR ME..WOW super cool😁
I know right? I’m sick and tired of everywhere being so crowded 7 days a week at any time of day where I’m from. I’m going to Regina for my studies this fall and I know I’m gonna love it.
I really enjoyed your walk around regina. Spent lots of time there as a kid with family. I feel like Regina is for me a western suburb of Winnipeg
No, winnipeg is an eastern suburb of Regina. :)
That is interesting they still have the big windows over the school Gym I can Kinda see them in there they the door the basement used to have all kinds of little rooms not for use but went check it out
I enjoyed that look around your fine city thanks mate
You're welcome!
thanks video showing our city i am not downtown to often
I love the lights on the plaza
Light sabers. Am I right?
Where is Regina? Pls include the state and the country.
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Is there city bus around Regina?
Yes, there’s an extensive bus network.
Thanks for the tour. I have been down there for the farmers market.
You're welcome!
Where is Spic from the metal record shop on Scarth st? ha ha brings back old memories i haven't been back in so long.
Love regina ❤️
And please if it is closer to University of Regina, how do i get an apartment for rent please?
I haven't had to rent anything for years, so can't be much help! I see lot of For Rent signs around, though.
Thank you for your response.🙏
I am wondering If there are any high-rise apartments in Regina? The reason I am asking is because I haven't seen any in your video. I enjoyed the city I thought it was a small little city.
The tallest building in Regina is 20 stories, so by big city's standards, nothing really high-rise. Lots in the kind of ten to fifteen story range.
I have a question about the music scene. My husband and friends play music at the Legion here (60 plus crowd) in B.C….do you know anything about that?
There are a number of live-music venues but I don’t know a lot about it. Bushwakker Brew Pub, for instance, has regular live music by local groups, with jazz and blues on Mondays and folk on Wednesdays. Not sure if our local Legion is still lively enough for live music on a regular basis…
❤❤
Thank you for the wonderful video. May i know whether Regina is safe, can women or kids walk in the road in the night time?
Most parts of the city, sure. It depends on the neighbourhood, of course. And you shouldn't walk in the road, you might get run over. :)
My friend was surprised when he heard about this place, having never studied Latin in school he thought it was a made up word and absolutely insisted on pronouncing the last sequence of syllables in the word "regina" the way the word "gin" -the drink- is pronounced. ReGINa. He realized his mistake only after playing the pronunciation for him. We laughed for days.
Yes, I’d live to know how our mispronunciation took over, since when it was named, everybody still took Latin in school. But I’ve never the GIN pronounced like the drink. I kind of like it!
I hardly recognize the place. We left Regina in ‘87 and haven’t been back since.
Yes, it's certainly changed since then. I moved here in '88 from Weyburn, so we just missed each other. :)
Thank you.
Mies van der Rohe ? The architect you’re trying to pronounce?
Was I? I don't remember what I said. But you're probably right. :)
look like ghost town where are the people ? no even transportation around the city
It's a small city--only 230,000 or so. As far as public transit goes, there's a bus network.
Thanks for this awesome insight into the Queen's city of Regina , must be a great place for studies.
Please tell me about student life in Regina..
You're welcome, but I'm not the one to ask about student life, since I've never been a student in Regina and my university days (which were spent in Arkansas) are now decades (gulp) in the past...
no people in this city, looks like abandoned city , empty
Well, it's not a huge population, and at that time of day, there just aren't a lot of people downtown.
👍👍
Why there's no one 😮 what time is it
Probably about 8 p.m. But downtown empties out quite a bit at night. It's a small city!
Thanks a lot for the tour my man..😊
You're welcome!
We are retiring to either Regina or Saskatoon from B.C….thank you!
My pleasure!
Please is the University of Regina around these area?
Not here, but if you go through my videos, you'll see several of the university. I could walk from downtown to the university in about . . . 45 minutes, I'd guess?
Thank you for your response. I truly appreciate.🙏🙏
Have you ever done a walk in Moose Jaw?
Not yet. Maybe this summer?
Where are all the people?
Elsewhere. After hours so not many people downtown and the city is only about 230,000 people.
too few outdoors
It's a small city!
Because no smart person walks out in the evening. Everything closes very early in Regina
@@Chydova No earlier than anywhere else...
@@EdwardWillett I didn't mean to come out rude, I'm sorry. I just meant that it's not safe to as compared to other cities such as Toronto. My boyfriend was attacked and mugged by that very park you walked close to.
I apologize once again. Keep up the good work sir)
@@Chydova Didn't take it as rude! :) And, yes, it's quite empty downtown at night, which means you can feel very alone in the dark. Sorry to hear about your boyfriend!
Lovely city their are no people in the city
Actually, there 230,000 people in the city...
@@EdwardWillett can I get your contact where I can get you please
Why is it that pretty much all the videos I’m seeing of Regina make it look like a ghost town 🤷🏻, I mean, it looks kinda nice, but the population looks very low….., which in turn suggests that there’s not much to do
Population is around 250,000. There's lots to do. But if you're looking for New York or Toronto levels of crowding on the streets, you won't get it, no.
@@EdwardWillett cheers, tbh, I’m coming from a completely different situation, in comparison to USA I live on an island 😂 called England, I grew up in London but live in an area called Southend in Essex, the reason I’ve been looking at these videos is, I’ve potentially got a job offer on the horizon with a start date in March next year, but it means moving, which for me is quite a scary thing to do, leaving everything I’ve known and what I’m comfortable with behind, to go to a place as a stranger and no idea if I’ll even like it, although the residential area of Wascana looks a bit more appealing, but still wanna be within reasonable distance to the town, as for population and being crowded, I moved away from London cos of all that, but to have some population and things to do just makes it a bit more appealing, so I’m trying to do research, which ain’t that easy, cos sometimes you never really know until you’re there, and that’s a big gamble
@@Sacrifice-Paid Well, it would definitely be an adjustment, but it's nice city. There's live music and brewpubs and Canada's longest-running symphony orchestra and professional theatre and festivals and all that kind of stuff. But I grew up in a much smaller town so for me Regina was always the big city. :)
Weather would take a bit of getting used to. It's currently -16 C and the forecast HIGH for Wednesday is -28 C...
@@EdwardWillett yeah, England is known for mixed weather, and I don’t feel the cold much, but….. Canadian winters, damn, they’re on another level….., when it comes to life outside work, for me I’m quite simple, I love music, and I’m play myself, but for me it’d also be finding a good gym, preferably CrossFit and a decent Bible based church, of which looking on google, I seemed to have already found a decent church, but again, it’s all a massive risk, cos no guarantee it’s going to work out
😍😍😍😍😍
😕🤔 I'm wondering. WHAT IS SO DAMN SPECIAL ABOUT REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN ....IS IT A NICE PLACE TO LIVE...LIKE WINNIPEG, MANITOBA ??
Nice enough!
Very interesting your walk it must came I to view.
