Recently updated lists from Kenny M.

The coffee list to end all coffee list! (8)

Caffeine dreams! You heard it hear last! This coffee list has got the top bean stops and mediocre drip drops drabs...

Plastic music! (4)

In this modern era we often forget the value of a piece of plastic. Amazingly, Science has figured out a way to implant "music" (organized sound) onto a piece of plastic.Within the grooves and the 0s and 1s we can find that plastic is a great home for music to exist on. Luckily for us, these physical copies of music still exist in three main formats. CDs, Vinyl and cassete tapes! here are places that still sell them

The best local watering holes... (7)

Great places to come for a pint or two! Or maybe a sip of some tullamore dew?  Drink Brew when your ansty! To tickle your fancy!  To guzzle in our gullets so true!!!

Get it and get it cheap! (5)

Looking for cheap DVD's? Maybe you need a 4 dollar alarm clock or a 29 dollar rug?  Maybe you don't need anything but just want some cheap thrills! look no further!

Chinese food! (3)

This list contains some of the finest chinese dining this city has to offer. Get your order on and eat all your fortune cookies! Its time for a party in your mouth!

Guitars, guitars, guitars! (5)

Do you need a guitar? if you are like me you always need a guitar! and you don't really need a reason. These are some cool stores in Calgary where you can find the perfect guitar to suit your needs and budget.

Places that can destroy you! (5)

Its time for battle! The night is young and your hungry after a hard days work. With good intentions, you set out to find a place that will challenge your appetite and push you to your food limits. The only question is... Do you have the stamina and the armor to withstand the attack from the mighty food dragon? Only the strong can survive....
