When Rob and I made our schedule of Monday workouts, way back last fall, we added in a few locations that NP has never been to before. We figured Mural Month would be a great way to explore new and interesting places in our city. One of these locations was the Joey Moss mural.
This mural isn’t new – it was created in 2008 as part of a “Giants of Edmonton” campaign by 630 CHED, where people could suggest Edmonton icons to be painted as murals. (Thanks Maria for sending me this link. Oddly enough, I used to listen to 630 CHED a lot growing up and I remember them doing this initiative so this link brought back an old memory.) However, despite Joey Moss being a huge icon in our city, there’s a pretty good reason we’ve never done a workout here before: it’s in the middle of a steel plant along a major arterial road. Not really the first place you’d think to hold a workout. When we arrived today, Rob and I agreed that this was the most awkward workout location ever.
