Okay neighbours, a quick poll.   A soccer dome and parking lot with 400 stalls is going to be put up later this year on the property next to the Westbrook LRT Station.

 Question: Are you in favour of this? Yes or No.

 Let me know in the comments.

Sunday, April 15/2018 Good Eats Along 17th Avenue

-

One of the draws of 17th Avenue is its' cafe's and restaurants, and there are plenty of choices between 27th and 37th Streets SW.  Along with the usual fast-food joints, there are a number of lesser known but locally popular places along this stretch to satisfy any palate.  If you ever have the chance, check these places out. Chili Club Thai House - 1904-36th St. SW It doesn't look like much on the outside but the decor is great. Tried it for the fist time last summer and gave it two thumbs up. A must try. Little Lebanon - 3515 17th Ave. SW A chicken shawarma from Little Lebanon makes for an awesome lunch. Made in front of you with fresh ingredients and friendly people serving you. A great alternative to the McD's across the street. Bow Bulgogi House/Korean BBQ - 3515 17th Ave. SW I first tried bulgogi at a Korean place near where I used to work about 20 years ago. For those who've never had it, bulgogi means "fire meat" i...

A Place For The Residents Of The Communities Up The Hill From Downtown..

-
I'm a native Calgarian (one of very few it would seem), born here in the late 60's and have lived in numerous communities throughout the years but nearly 4 decades have been spent living in one of the communities west of downtown. One of the communities that has Westbrook Mall at its hub.  Having reluctantly accepted the fact that I'm slightly past "middle-aged" I came to the conclusion that I needed a platform where I could vent, let loose, free my inner "grumpy old man".  So, I created this blog.  It will be a place for me to put in my two cents about the things going on in the neighbourhood, be they good or bad.  I've spent a lot of time complaining and not a lot of time doing anything about it.  We live in an age where anybody can have a platform online, so I thought I'd build such a platform and maybe try to do some good for my community while I'm at it. Now when I say "neighbourhood", I mean the communities of Glamorgan, G...

Crime Statistics and the Westbrook C-Train Station.

-
So the main reason that I started this blog was because of what has happened in the neighbourhood since the Westbrook C-Train station opened in December of 2012.  Anyone living and working in the area, myself included, can attest to the fact that once the station opened things around here changed, and not really for the better. Sure it gave us a quicker, more direct means of getting to the downtown core.  What it also did was give crime a quicker, more direct means of coming to the community. It's something that's been bugging me since 2013, so finding myself unemployed and left with too much time on my hands, I figured I'd try to do something about it.  If nothing came of it I could at least say that I tried. So, what could I do.  The idea dawned on me that a CPS Community Station in Westbrook Mall might be a start. I mean, I realized that opening up what is basically an administration station in the mall wouldn't suddenly bring crime in the area to a screeching...
