Whenever I come out to Mount Robson Provincial Park, I always stop and take a gander through the gift shop. This is a family owned and operated business for more than 40 years.
In many tourist areas, the souvenirs are pretty similar. This shop also…More »

Recently updated lists from Carrie P.
Carrie's Yelp 30 Day Challenge List for November, 2011 (32) |
Calgary Companies with Heart (19)These are companies who are outstanding citizens in my eyes, in terms of their generosity to charitable causes. These are companies who are repeatedly been proactive in offering support in terms of raffles, silent auctions, event space or resources. I like supporting businesses that support Calgarians! |
My Fave Salad Places (15)Even though not all of these places are "known" for their salads, these are the delis or restaurants where I enjoy their salads. This includes both salads to go in delis and grocery, or salads on the menu to enjoy dining in. This list is in no particular order, but I give you my word that they are all places where I have enjoyed a mouthwatering salad, more than once! |
Health Services in Calgary (9)Even though I am a healthy individual, like all of us, I have needed some assistance from time to time with the odd thing that crops up.Check out this list with my experiences with some of the services I have used in the name of health. |
Calgary Gift Baskets with Flair (3)I have used gift baskets for people who you just aren`t sure what to get them. They are either the person who has everything, or... they are someone who you work with, or do business with. Therefore a more personal gift is tougher to choose.Check out my list for three companies I have done business with in the past. I have used all three companies online, and I have also walked into all three businesses as well for either pickup, or to choose my own pieces. All in all, they all have 4-5 star ratings in my eyes, and they all deliver products with class and flair. These are not the companies you go to for a cheesy balloon arch. Choose these companies to make an impression! |
Grocery Stores a stones throw from Glenmore East (5)I live in Riverbend, and I am blown away by the choices I have in walking distance or a 5 minute drive from my house.Competition is stiff in this area, and I frequent all of them for different reasons. Check out my reviews to find out how I navigate my choices. |
Favorite Breakfast Places in Calgary (7)Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so it only seems appropriate that I create a list of my favorite breakfast places in the fine city of Calgary |
Yummy Sandwich places (11)If any of you are like Joey's from friends, and are looking for the BEST sandwiches, check it out here! |
Thunder Bay Must-Sees! (5)Thunder Bay is my home town. Even though I am a Calgary girl now, there are some places I just can't resist revisiting when I head home. |
