Down with couches!

Look. I love TV. I'm not afraid to admit it. But at some point, when you realize you've lost all your ability to hold a normal conversation with a person, you have to get up off the couch and be social. No seriously, you should try it. It is fun! If you wanted to do it, here are some places I recommend!

1. Calgary Public Library - Alexander Calhoun

3223 14 St SW
Calgary, AB T2T 3V8
(403) 260-2600

Category: Libraries

9/15/2010 First to Review

I've recently discovered the magic of working from the library. For those of us, who can work from home, the library is an amazing opportunity to enjoy a great working space, without the temptation of Ellen or Oprah.

The membership to the…More »

9/5/2010

Ask anyone in Calgary where the "real cowboys" are and they'll tell you Ranchmans. During The Calgary Stampede this becomes the unofficial HQ for anyone with a giant belt buckle.

However, during the rest of the year, Ranchmans becomes the place to…More »

3. Prince's Island Park

4 St & 1 Ave SW
Calgary, AB T2E 3R4

Category: Parks

9/6/2010

New York City has Central Park, Chicago has Millenium Park and Calgary thankfully has Princes Island Park.

In an earlier review Katie C. called PIP an oasis and I couldn't agree more. There is just always so much going on here all the time. Whether…More »

Category: Cinema

7/27/2010

I never thought I would say (type) this, but I think I'm over the movie theatres in Eau Claire. They used to be my little secret. Nice sized theatres, cheaper prices and I think most of Calgary had forgotten that they are even open.

But I went…More »

5. Plaza Theatre

1133 Kensington Rd NW
Calgary, AB T2N 3P4
(403) 283-2222

Categories: Cinema, Venues & Event Spaces

7/18/2010

Everything that is great about Kensington can be summed up with The Plaza Theatre. Quaint, cheap, personal, with a great selection of movies.

Anytime I go to the movies, I always look at what is playing at The Plaza first. Although sometimes I…More »

Category: Shopping Centres

7/17/2010

If you talk to any Calgarian about Eau Claire market, they'll always tell you how disappointing it has been to see this mall suffer from high prices of rent during the boom. Since things became so expensive, many businesses have had to leave,…More »

Recently updated lists from Mike M.

Exploring Stephen Avenue (4) Stephen Avenue is one of the hottest places in Calgary, especially during the summer when it is packed with trendy Calgarians looking for a great place to have a drink and get some shopping done. Whenever I'm down there, I try to explore the entire street. Here are a few that come to mind.	Drunkity Drunk Drunk (7) Maybe you had a bad week or maybe you want to go celebrate a new job. Perhaps you are on the worst date and just want to drink your troubles away. Either way, these are some of my favourite bars!
This is how to travel! (9) Everything you need to know about planning a great trip.	Funny Guy! (5) So I just discovered that you can sort your reviews by either Funny, Useful or Cool! I had no idea! Apparently you guys think that sometimes I'm funny. Awww that's so sweet. According to your UFCs, here are my funniest.
Dowtown or bust! (6) Sometimes it's hard to find things to in downtown Calgary at night. The core seems to clear out faster than you can say Stephen Avenue. But there are actually lots of things to do downtown, you may just have to look harder for them!	Who doesn't love to be comfortable? (4) But what is comfortable? It really depends on my mood and what I'm looking to do. However, typically it involves one of these places that relax me in many different ways!
The parents are coming, the parents are coming! (10) Who doesn't love when your parents come to town, right? Hello? Anyone? Well I do! Here are some of the places I like to take my mom and dad any time they come to visit!	It's the theatre! (4) Here are some of my favourite (and least favourite) theatres in Calgary for acting or otherwise!
Canadian Airports! (3) Not that we have much choice of airports but it is always good to know who has free wifi and who doesn't!	Japan: Who needs a passport! (3) I've never been to Japan but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the food! Mmmmm sushi!
