Remembering a chat with a stranger at the old 124 Street market

I was buying honey from a local beekeeper's stall about five years ago, and the person next to me just started talking about how the market used to be half the size. They said, 'You used to know every face here on a Saturday.' That simple comment made me see our whole city's growth differently. What's a small moment from an Edmonton chat that stuck with you?

You think growth is a good thing?

Wait, are you saying growth is bad? That sounds crazy to me. How else do we get better jobs or fix problems without growing? I just can't see a world where staying the same is the answer.
