The last time I was there I was looking for a gift and the staff helped me find exactly what I…More »
Melange for you home is exactly that. For those of you who didn't pass french class, melange means mixture. And you can certainly get a mixture of stuff for your home at this relatively new store.

I've been luckiy enough to see two shows at the Grand Theatre. One was a concert (Patrick Watson) and the other a musical (The Full Monty). Both of these shows were perfect fits for my favourite space in Calgary.

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.
