If you love the "art" of war or history, the Museum of the Regiments is the place to go.  Here they teach the realities of war to people of all ages in the hopes of preventing future wars and the ignorant judgmental beliefs that brew them.  The museum offers a variety of educational and interpretive programs. I have been there several times myself and absolutely love it.  There are ...

I had the chance to attend a pre-screening of a movie a few weeks back at The Globe Theater on Stephen (8th) Avenue. It is a charming place, with a distinct artsy feel to it. Many of the movies that are shown here are not 'mainstream' flicks. Often times the shows that win in the less popular, but equally brilliant, Academy Award categories are found playing here. For an updated ...

Sunshine, palm trees, birds chirping and the sounds of water running all for free in the centre of the city.  It was a chilly, grey day and the thought of sitting downtown in a business meeting was dreary.  Devonian Gardens, conveniently located in the heart of city centre boasts a living oasis with Koi ponds, waterfalls, tropical plants and lovely private benches.  There is no fee to enter and with ...

Original Joe's on 4th Street and 22nd Ave SW is 'my' neighborhood pub. I used to live down the street from it, and the place quickly became one of my favorites. They feature a large selection of imported bottled beer, as well as some of their own brews on tap, and a decent wine list for a pub. The menu features typical pub fare, however each 'entre' comes with a choice ...
