Welcome to Edgewood, BC

Redditor robinnuber make a promotional video for Edgewood, British Columbia. Despite the dry humor, it ends up being a place everyone wants to visit, or even live there. When you have a ribbon factory and more ostriches than people, you've got something to talk about. Edgewood has only a few hundred residents, but it has an extensive Wikipedia entry detailing the history of the town, with no mention of the population. That means that some Wikipedia member is pretty proud of their town. The reach of the internet means that commenters that are familiar with Edgewood came in to note that the general store and the gas station are, in fact, the same place. As if we couldn't tell.
A noticeable detail is the can-and-string microphone. It makes this video look comically pre-industrial, but it's a genius idea. The phone slipped inside the can records the narrative while being protected from wind noise. -via reddit
