Oolong Tea House in Kensington. In the cup, not Rooibos, but something far more tart: Apple Cranberry.

Went photowalking with Dave from work — he calls it “photo wandering” — through downtown Calgary today. Here’s a picture of Olympic Plaza:
Of course, we found a bit of time to fool around:
Like they say in French, “ça va mieux à deux.”
Go to my Zooomr site to see more photos from our afternoon on the town.

Another visual update on what’s left of Penny Lane Mall in Calgary.
The whole neighbourhood smells like a mouldy basement right now.

Penny Lane update

Well, the demolition of Penny Lane Mall has started. What more can I say?

A walk in Victoria Park last week brought me to the ruins of Calgary’s second General Hospital.
I couldn’t identify what it really was until I got home and did some research on the Internet. Too bad this structure was torn down in 1973 instead of being fully preserved.
The whole neighbourhood has slowly been drained of its residents in expectation of the expansion of Stampede Park. Much of the homes and businesses in the area have been bulldozed. That said, a few condo projects are going up in their place.
Still, it’s sad to see a good chuck of Calgary’s history simply missing.
See more photos here from the Calgary Public Library.

This bright blue Beetle caught my eye as it pulled up to a red light on 10 St. N.W. After making contact with the driver, I motioned to my camera, to which she nodded and smiled. As her car sped away, the driver beeped her horn twice. |
