Purely Unscientific Poll: Soccer Dome near Westbrook Station. Yes or no?

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.

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...

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...

Friday, April 20/2018 - Thaw Brings Scenes of Nuclear Apocalypse to Mall Parking Lot.

-

As the mountains of snow begin to melt around the city, the trash and detritus that was swept up along with that snow begins to rear its ugly head.  Seen up close, these piles look like the remnants of a nuclear apocalypse.  Scenes like this are popping up in parking lots across the city, and no doubt as we enter the clean-up phase of the '17-'18 Winter That Just Wouldn't End.  I'm posting this on the day after I took theses pics, Saturday, and the wind is HOWLING.  Look for a lot of this debris to be blowing through your community today. There are always shopping carts in these mounds. Blecchh!! It's like there is a shopping cart in every other pile. I've always wondered what the story was behind the abandoned or thrown out foot-wear that you see from time to time in various places.  These work boots for instance.
