I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Reader Mail: Chicken Wings
February 11, 2008
Lisa writes in with a question. I can only presume that she was reading this article, and I have to confess no small measure of amusement that such an old piece of content is only now generating a response.
But hey, I aim to help, and I’ll gladly play the role of tour guide for a bit.
Hi. My cousin just moved to Edmonton and mentioned that he hadn’t been able to find a place that had flavoured chicken wings (just mild, med and hot). I told I would see if I could look up something and noticed you had mentioned an Edmonton bar that has 36 wing flavours. Could you share what bar this is? Thanks.
I do hope I got the number right (there is always the possibility that my memory will not report everything…accurately…), but there was (at the time that I wrote that article) a bar in Edmonton that had 30 or more wing flavours. It’s been a while since I’ve looked in on said place, so I can’t say with certainty whether or not it still features such an impressive array. Working on the assumption that it does, however, the place in question is called The Globe. It is located on the south-west corner of the intersection of Jasper (101st) Avenue and 109th Street, in downtown Edmonton.
Here’s the map:
And here’s the logo he should look for:

Please note, O Reader, that Google’s address finding feature is not the most accurate — in this case, it has situated the address a bit south of where the building actually is (to say nothing of putting the placemark in the middle of 109th Street).
Hope that helps, Lisa! If not, there are a couple of other places in Edmonton that offer a bit more than just the mild/medium/hot flavour selection. My wife and I often meet her sister for wings at Chili’s off of Whyte Avenue, and the wings at Hudson’s aren’t bad either. Hudson’s, in particular, has a wider range of flavours than just three.
Update: I’m stupid, and the logo should be displaying correctly now.
