Melrose-Red Mile Headquarters



I was lucky enough to experience a Flames playoff game at Melrose on Thursday. Wow, was it ever an experience. THey have a zillion TV's all around, you dont even have to turn your head to have a great view of the game. The huge bonus is that the sound is on full blast, so the 'Go Flames Go' chant is so loud, its almost like you are at the ...

The Globe



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 ...

The Play was pretty good, there were too many songs, or they maybe shouldn't sing the WHOLE song every time. The storyline is good, and you will pick-up on more if you were a Seinfeld fan. Some of the out staff are less then enjoyable, the drinks are over priced and the ...

Love live music? Try Morgans Pub!



I live close to 17th Ave SW, aka the Red Mile, so Im no stranger to the pubs offered in that neck of the woods. Last night I headed out to Morgans Pub, located on 17th Ave and about 14th Street. It was a blast, not only did they have $3.50 highballs and $3.75 pints of domestic beer, they also had a live band. The band played some original tues, ...

The new 22-foot half-pipe Superpipe snowboard facility carved out of the slope is now in need of only a few finishing touches before the world elite of the ...

Hi-Fi flies high


Searching for a club that was more than just a meat-market that played old-school funky tunes seemed to be quite a challenge in Calgary, until I stumbled upon the hidden gem known as the Hi-Fi Club. Located on 219 & 10th Ave. SW, they blast tunes from all eras including the oldie-goldies of Michael Jackson, James Brown and Aretha Franklin up to the modern beats of Mylo, Tiga and ...
