A few summers ago I put out a list of 20 things to do in Regina. I thought it was a pretty good list and it got some positive reviews. It came on the heels of a few other similar, smaller lists of places people should visit in Regina and was meant as a "grand finale" of lists.
That article is old, but it's still fairly popular. Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to it, but a few months ago somebody commented on it and informed me that my list, and my blog in general, "sucked". Ouch.
A lot of the places on this list are my personal favourites, so if there is a place you'd like me to add, please let me know in the comments. (I'd hate for my list to "suck" again!)

Autumn has officially begun, and with it comes plenty of crunchy leaves, wool toques, cool nights and freshly harvested food. It doesn't matter if you live near the icy shores of the Atlantic, in a bustling metropolis like Toronto, among the rolling plains of Alberta or in the towering mountains of British Columbia; the whole country is in the midst of harvest. While I have already written about the Savour the Southeast Festival in Medicine Hat, there are plenty of other food festivals going on across Canada for you to enjoy.
Fall Flavours, Prince Edward Island
(Sept. 2 - Oct. 2)
While the Fall Flavours is nearing its completion, the food served out on the East Coast is so unique that it is worth visiting any time of the year. PEI is famous for its large yield of potatoes, and the abundance of lobster, mussels, and scallops allows for an unmatched culinary treat. Their website also mentions several family friendly events like potato picking, lobster catching, and oyster harvesting for participants to take part in.
"Life, I say, is short and the sword is always hanging over us, and we do not know how soon it will drop. It is not worthwhile to be sinful then. That is all I have to say. Good-bye, and God bless you all."
Those were the final words John Morrison spoke before a black cap was pulled over his face and the Lord's Prayer was said to him. He would then croak "Deliver us from evil" and with a dull thud, he was dead.
John Morrison was executed on January 24, 1901, at the North-West Territorial Jail and Lunatic Asylum in Regina for the murder of a family of eight. He was not a good man.
