LIFE AFTER GRETZKY
This is Wayne Gretzky, or rather, the back of a metal representation of Edmonton's uncontested most famous and popular onetime citizen.
When Gretz was traded away to L.A. in 1988, our city suffered a nervous breakdown of sorts, but ultimately grew to dilute and spread our reasons for civic pride.
As part of my writer-in-residence duties, I used this image to illustrate an article about the familiar tactics the Oilers' current owners are using to divert public money into a needless new arena.
