Sonic Care Toothbrush
It’s clinically proven to remove significantly more plaque than any electric toothbrushes on the market. Once you’ve tried this you‘ll never go back to just an ordinary toothbrush, it’s also compact enough for traveling.

Roden Gray Custom Furniture
Our latest project is producing custom furniture. Initially, we crafted Douglas Fir beams into fixtures for Roden Gray. After a favorable reaction; we were commissioned to produce exclusive pieces for a select group of worldwide clients. The production process is extremely intensive; each individual piece takes at least two weeks for production. The process is complex; each beam is cured, carved, burnt, sealed, sanded, and finally colored.

    I don’t understand why Calgary wasn’t featured. Their city is just as good if not alot better then Edmonton. They have shops worth mentioning.

    As far as Edmonton goes. There is no scene what’s so ever there. All the stores are garbage compared to Vancouver, the U.S. and Asia. Stores aren’t even consistant with stock and alot of brands available to other cities aren’t stocked here.

    “I think Canada is the only place with Tim Hortons” There’s actually one in the Spar on Regent St. in London. =)
