Is MEC one of the greatest stores on the planet? Probably yes.

Travelling with something from MEC, marks you as a smart person that knows how to locate decent kit at a great price. I have had conversations started with Czechs with uncles in Canada…More »

I like the clothes sold here. I am not a fashion plate. I have destroyed other clothier's products while working in some pretty nasty conditions (Northern Ontario slushy ice mud in a quickly approaching winter comes to mind).

These folks keep me in…More »

Lee Valley is on of the places I must visit when I return to Manitoba.

I used to mail order from these folks when they were only in Toronto. The new Winnipeg store placed this greatness much closer - but then I moved and I can only buy from these guys…More »

This place stands out as a take away pizza place in the middle of the prairies, where the owner actually cares about crust.

The thin crust pizza here is very good. The toppings can sometimes veer into the non-sensical (cheeseburger?) but a Niakwa…More »

This is the original Chicken Chef, which first served pressure fried chicken to its Carman patrons.

This used to be one of my main hangouts in a town with little to do and it still serves some of the better food in Carman.

The quality has dropped a…More »

Recently updated lists from Andrew C.

Glasgow Vegetarian Restaurants (9)

A list of the places in Glasgow that cater to Vegans and Veggies.

In comparison to other cities in the UK, Glasgow has a wide spread of reasonable places that provide Vegan Food. Most of the places in this place are exclusively vegan with the exceptions having excellent vegan options.

Glasgow Italian (5)

The places I have visited for Italian food.

Some diatribes as well. - So read before you eat.

Fresh Fast Food in Glasgow (3)

There is a movement out there for fast fresh tasty food that does not cost a bomb.

These guys are delivering on the Fresh Food Promise. I would love for this list to get bigger.

Glasgow Whisky Purveyors (5)

Whether lifelong Weegie or visitor to these shores, finding a decent Whisky Shop is always a good thing. These folks do a decent job of purveying the "Water of Life"

Glasgow Booze Heaven (2)

Best places for bottles. When you need that special something in the alcohol variety - get yourself here.

Scottish Originals (9)

This is a listing of the best of Scottish Originals.

As the corporate manufactured dining and shopping experiences creep across the landscape, the best places created in Scotland need to be identified.

Go here in the knowledge that these places provide the best that Scotland has to offer.

Glasgow Computing (6)

Need something for your computer. These guys can help in varying degrees.

Brew pubs of Glasgow (3)

These places make their beer on site. Fresh? Does not come fresher than this!

Glasgow Beer Gardens (6)

Nobody loves the sun more than Weegies!.

The folks that see the sun all of the time are complacent - try and describe a Scottish Dark Winter to a Spaniard. No Comprehension.
When the sun comes out these are the places to go - get your drink in your hand and your butt in a Beer Garden.

Glasgow Geek (9)

Feeling a little Asbergey?

Get yourself in here and mingle with the herd.
