a list for book worms, musicphiles, and film nerds.
See All Lists
1. Knox United Church
DISCLAIMER: While my Skeptic little self has never experience Knox United Church (or any other church, truth be told) as a religious organization, I really appreciate its role in Calgary's music community.
It would seem that all of the best shows…More »
2. The Uptown Stage & Screen - CLOSED
I am actually quite irritated to see that The Uptown has already been marked as "Closed" on Yelp, as this seems a little misinformed. As of late, the Uptown has TEMPORARILY suspended activity, as they struggle through a court dispute involving…More »
3. Pages Books On Kensington
Okay guys, I have to tell you about the first time I discovered one of my favourite Canadian bands, The Wooden Sky.
It was a chilly February evening, during the winter before last. A friend and I had just stopped over at Higher Ground to grab some…More »
4. Casablanca Video
Calgary, AB T2T 1Z7

DVD & Video Game Rental,

To Casablanca,
I have only recently become a patron of your facilities, and I honestly do not know what took me so long. Your film selection is so impressive, that I get vertigo just browsing the shelves and trying to decide what to take home with me.…More »
5. Cabin Fever Books
Cabin Fever is definitely my favourite used bookstore in Calgary. I first experienced this little gem over the fall, when I was looking for a copy of Michael Crummey's "Galore," and saw on abebooks that they had a copy! So happy I was brought in…More »
6. Plaza Theatre
The Plaza Theatre is easily my favourite place to spend an entire afternoon.Not only am I a fan because their film selection is impeccable, but also because I am in love with their community involvement. I can't even count the number of films or…More »
7. The Second Story Books
I love The Second Story, a cozy little used bookstore with a clever name, nestled in a basement hubble on Main in Canmore.
The first time I ever came here, after also discovering Canmore's lovely teahouse on the same day, I was thrilled and ended up…More »
8. Bird Dog Video - CLOSED
To Bird Dog,
I will miss you and your incredible documentary selection and how you label your films by director upon one wall. I have loved you very much, and sometimes only visit my best friend who lives two blocs away just so that I have an excuse…More »
9. Cantos Music Foundation
Cantos Music Foundation is actually kind of the coolest ever. While I haven't been on one of its tours yet, I recently got to experience Cantos for a show on a Tuesday night. I went to go and see the gorgeous band, The Once, from Newfoundland, which…More »
10. MacKimmie Library Tower
I was informed the other day by a friend at the U of C that MacKimmie LIbrary Tower is now completely closed, due to the opening of the Harvey Digital Library. Since I've finished my degree I haven't been on campus a lot to clarify, but I don't know…More »
11. Market Collective
Market Collective, take it or leave it, is one of the most unique and charming little things Calgary has going for it. I feel as though at the very least, it should at least be appreciated for what it is, if we ever wish for Calgary to possess a…More »
12. Sloth Records
Sloth is one of Calgary's few solid options for purchasing new vinyl, with a decent selection of records, cds, music related books and paraphernalia.
I also enjoy that one can usually pop into Sloth and purchase tickets to an upcoming show in Calgary,…More »
13. Fair's Fair For Book Lovers
This Fair's Fair is a very convenient location for me, but I'm not sure that I can call it my absolute favourite. A good friend and I tend to have these bro dates (can girls be bros? I think so) on weekends where either brunch is had and coffee at…More »
14. The Globe Cinema
I am surprised by the face that I have never reviewed The Globe before. After a visit to The Globe Cinema this past weekend, I will attempt to write a review, and try not to let it be affected by the obnoxious trashy girls in the downstairs bathroom…More »
15. MacEwan Hall
Whenever a band I like is coming to town and I find out they are playing Mac Hall, I cringe a little. First of all, I have to cross my fingers and hope that they are playing in the Ballroom (upstairs) instead of the soul sucking hall downstairs. I…More »
Recently updated lists from Sarah Louise F.
vegan friendly in calgary (45)not necessarily veeeeegan restaurants, as calgary has no strictly vegan places in the city, but places one can go that have at least an option or two. :) |
My vegan quest for the world's best falafel. (5)In a horribly omnivorous world, where vegans are considered strange by weirdos who munch on carcasses, falafel often becomes a default staple food for us. I have had falafel both good and horrible, and this is the list to end all falafel lists telling of my plight for the best falafel ever. |
"And this also... has been one of the dark places of the earth." (8)"The horror! The horror!"This is my Heart of Darkness list, if you will. I have voyaged to these dark establishments, witnessed the evils of humanity, the germs of empires. I shall tell you tales of my journeys, and hope that you do not fall into the darkness, like so many before us. ;) |
om! shanti! shanti! shanti! (5)yoga studios i have tried in the city. |
a november of yelp (27)I'M DOING IT! i have decided that i am going to catch up to 30 reviews by the end of november like all the rest of you champs. so far it is the 21st and i have six. LET THE MADNESS BEGIN |
tea (and coffee) list (12)now, i am much more of a tea nerd than a coffee snob, but i have attempted to compile some of my favourite places together in a list. please keep in mind, that i do seek out tea in my occasional travels, so not alll of these sources are going to be local. :) |
san francisco (2)i misssssss you san francisco. |
