The Balmoral school is just one of 19 sandstone schools built in Calgary from 1894 to 1914. The Balmoral School was the last and most expensive at $246,871, which would e about $7 million in today’s dollars. The school opened in 1914 but was officially dedicated in 1915.. The tower clock, initially delayed by wartime shortages, was never purchased. For a time around 1917, a clock face with hands pointing to 4 p.m. was painted on the tower in place of the missing clock. Among the many wild stories surrounding the empty clock tower was one that claimed that the clock sank with the Titanic in April 1912. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/5578ecbf-efe5-401b-b728-fa060209572c/IMG_4733.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Saturday Morning Flaneur: Mount Pleasant, Tuxedo Park Fun! - Make it stand out Fun Fact: The time is permanently set at 4:05, the time the school day ended in 1913. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/be6ce5d8-287a-46af-9ae7-8ffc1228014e/IMG_4734.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Saturday Morning Flaneur: Mount Pleasant, Tuxedo Park Fun! - Make it stand out The school was named for the city’s Balmoral District which was named after Balmoral Castle, the Royal Family’s ancestral Scottish home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/5d36a439-d996-4878-acf0-fb5d456788ae/IMG_4735.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Saturday Morning Flaneur: Mount Pleasant, Tuxedo Park Fun! - Make it stand out Behind the grand sandstone school is this heritage bungalow school that currently sits empty.

Originally a roundabout with a decorative centerpiece, it became a symbol of civic pride under Parks Superintendent William Reader. In 2020, the City of Calgary transformed the intersection back into a park by closing it to vehicle traffic, creating a space for passive recreation and community gathering, and preserving its unique heritage. Why circus? The term comes from the Latin word for "circle" and refers to architecturally planned circular public spaces. In urban design history, a Circus is an older term for a grand, open, circular urban space where streets converge, like in Bath, England, and is not designed for traffic control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/301062e6-4bcf-4774-97fc-55be15c5b5d2/IMG_4742.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Saturday Morning Flaneur: Mount Pleasant, Tuxedo Park Fun! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/4a4d2824-b0cb-4ef4-8d8f-be400dd205fd/image.jpeg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Saturday Morning Flaneur: Mount Pleasant, Tuxedo Park Fun! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/907acb68-f0a3-4432-b0e9-cf1192083166/IMG_4746.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Saturday Morning Flaneur: Mount Pleasant, Tuxedo Park Fun! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://everydaytourist.ca/calgary-visitor-information/best-instagrammable-places-calgary-city-centre monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/f0c623dc-b16c-493d-ae30-e1c54ec100b8/image.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Best Instagram Places: Calgary City Centre - Make it stand out The Emergent artwork on the plaza of the Edison Building is a great BIP with its fun distortions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/4ceb4e6b-1a90-4d5e-8c71-40865557e287/7A6E7092-7C51-48F4-8EAA-6CE6FE728953.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Best Instagram Places: Calgary City Centre - Make it stand out This family visiting from Germany loved how Calgary’s downtown is like an outdoor art gallery with 100s artworks and murals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/37e32bad-125c-4df7-b007-9f65311a80db/2917F7CF-BA28-4269-93F0-ED96EDCC564B.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Best Instagram Places: Calgary City Centre - Make it stand out The Rainbow Bridge underneath the LRT across from Senator Patrick Burns Memorial Rock Garden is a fun spot for a photo.

Backstory: Smithbilt’s founder, Morris Schumiatcher, was only 18 in 1910 when he convinced his father to move their large family to Canada from Russia. As a way to get around language barrier, he renamed the family Smith. At first Smithbilt produced mostly small brim dress hats, in the style that flourished in the East and in Europe. In 1926, however Morris began a co-operative effort with local businessmen and the Stampede Board to promote western wear for spectators. The family of oilman Bill Herron debuted the “White Hat” in the Stampede Parade of 1947 and took the “best-dressed” prize with their matching black and white outfits, horses, saddles and bridles. Shumiatcher invested heavily in white felt after this auspicious debut. In the early 1950s, Mayor of Calgary Donald Hugh Mackay began presenting the white hat to visiting dignitaries, a tradition that the mayor's office continues to this day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/4857f9fd-ae29-44cc-9316-f9271396d15f/thumb_IMG_6893_1024.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - 24 Reasons To Visit Calgary’s Inglewood Neighbourhood in 2024 - Make it stand out Plant is exactly what you would expect it to be – a plant store.

The Bleriot Ferry links the two sections of the North Dinosaur Trail (Alberta Highway 838) as it crosses the Red Deer River from Kneehill County on the west, to Starland County on the east. It was built by Andre Bleriot, commissioned in 1913 and, in addition to providing an essential transport service, acted as a major social hub in the Drumheller Valley.

From a distance it looks more like a painting, but up close the head is concave (colour side) or convex (black and white side) depending on which side you approach it from. This distorts the face in a manner the reflects the difficult mental issues the artist faced during his life. The piece is appropriately titled “Van Gogh Observes,” as the figure appears to be observing everybody who is walking by. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620665205536-D5OZNWQXJXA1UXZABCY0/Screen+Shot+2021-05-10+at+10.32.09+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620665224615-G7KNB5BMUIQZMCL5KMFN/Screen+Shot+2021-05-10+at+10.31.00+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620665211677-S5G81GIW9BJL6TDKKQFO/Screen+Shot+2021-05-10+at+10.30.40+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620665514919-CB7L7VEPWE4OAU9BIWMU/AA33E00D-F922-458A-9AD5-303576330E69.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present A second Van Gogh sculpture is located at the corner of 10th Ave and 1st St SE at the entrance to the new UPTEN apartments.

In 1989, Chinese students erected a 30-foot Statue of Liberty replica out of white plaster over a metal armature and styrofoam in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square facing Mao Tse-tung. It became the symbol of the Chinese people’s desire for democracy and eventually resulted in the death of 10,000+ students when Chinese soldiers tried to remove it. Several replicas of the statue have since been created by university students around the world in sympathy with the Chinese students. The University of Calgary’s replica (created by American artist, Thomas Marsh), is slightly larger than life-size and prominently located in the lobby of the MacEwan Student Centre. It was erected in 1995 by the Chinese Students Society, the Students’ Union, the University of Calgary and the Alliance for a Democratic China, it serves as a reminder of the “power of the people.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620660338700-WH0H2PUDYTIIQVVQXAUR/IMG_2723.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present Located in the lobby of the now Suncor Centre, formerly Petro Canada Centre, this bronze statue is part of the legacy of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

The information panel states “While the bull has become a financial symbol of prosperity and optimism, “Bullish on Your Future” art initiative was inspired by “Outlaw,” Canada’s most famous bull. Outlaw was one of the greatest athletes to ever perform at the Calgary Stampede. He was ridden only once in 71 trips out of the chute. Known for his intelligence and athleticism, Outlaw moves in the arena earned him the reputation of being one of the “rankest” bulls in the world of rodeo and also one of the most respected. In 2008, the CFA Society Calgary partnered with CFA Institute (the global association of investment professionals) and the Caglary Stampede to create the Bullish on Your Future art initiative.

The aritists’ website describes the piece as “Evoking the natural world through abstractions, placing an iconic figure within a mythological landscape - reflection on the reductive orders imposed on the land - and on the complex order inherent in nature.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620928560904-4JK1KDCIJXKU81P0K5WN/Screen+Shot+2021-05-13+at+11.55.09+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620928881848-CEADCUGGS0BOUW4NV84R/_8BE5890yes2red%2Bcopy.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1621218604995-SVNCXNRBX5T633KS5EAH/IMG_8469.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present - Make it stand out Tribute To Land by Irene Whittome is also locate on Bankers Hall’s southwest plaza on 9th Ave SW. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1621218626242-K2JOIITF1K1CLGYX8V79/IMG_8468.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present - Make it stand out The inspiration for this piece springs from ancient mythology that the turtle is the principal life giving form.

His head is turned to look back towards Sien Lok Park – drawing our awareness towards the park which is framed through a richly coloured gateway - a play on the traditional moongate of chinese gardens. The deep yellow is auspicious and bright. moongate’s inner edge is shaped like a dragon – as you pass through you meet him eye to eye. Approaching from the park the gateway is a mirror reflecting the sky, the park, and you.” from metzchew website. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620662897067-AC247H5VRKM1IBIGKJMO/IMG_4711.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present Colette Whiten, Paul Kipps and Jack Diamond's 1988 sculpture "Olympic Arch” in front of the Physical Education complex. The arch is a huge plate of steel, bowed up in the center seemingly by the efforts of the four life-sized bronze humans on either side pushing and lifting. The tension reflects the struggles and efforts not only of athletes, but all humans. The arch sculpture has had three homes - originally it was at the entrance to the Winter Olympic athletes’ village on the University of Calgary campus, then it was moved to downtown’s Eau Claire Plaza, before landing at its current location as part of the university’s 25th anniversary in 1991. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620701400827-GKR4834V0ID0FLQXJPIO/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-05-10%2Bat%2B1.03.11%2BPM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present Is there a political statement here? Are the figures competing against each other - or are they cooperating towards the same goal? The piece might even foreshadow the current struggles Calgary’s oil & gas companies are encountering to build or expand pipelines – the arch being the pipeline. Ironically, the piece is also known as the Trans Canada Pipeline Arch, in reference to the company who commissioned piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620702921913-2UB52CYQGQWT2J9TAUF2/IMG_2466.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present - Make it stand out “Ascension” by INCIPIO MODO, 2012.

This statue ihidden behind The Bow office tower is a bronze self-portrait of Plensa hugging a tree with his skin tattooed with the names of dozens of Alberta cities is an obvious sarcastic statement about Alberta. Alberta is a small player in the world’s energy economy, but dreams of being a big player. And, Alberta can only dream about being environmentally friendly as its economy is almost totally based on fossil fuels. Ironically the patron for the artwork was two major oil & gas companies - Encana and Cenovus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620698172340-C0LG55GXT4RMGGIOTYUQ/DSC01348.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present - Make it stand out '“Wonderland” Jaume Plensa 2012. This 12-metre high sculpture is located an the plaza entrance to the The Bow office tower. The white head of a young girl portrays a sense of the innocence and transparency youth, which could easily be a metaphor for Caglary a young city that in many ways is also innocent compare to big cities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620698213538-8BM61HBWPKU2XWBX9SMX/Screen+Shot+2021-05-10+at+7.37.39+PM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Postcards: Statues & Sculptures / Past & Present - Make it stand out The plaza is a popular place to meet friend or just sit and soak up the sun.

It consists of 15 horses and two cowboys and weights !4,500 pounds. It celebrates the role of the horse in the Calgary history - First Nations, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, ranchers, farmers, prospectors and adventurers. It is becomes a huge children’s playground at Stampede with hundreds of kids climbing all over the horses. It is my favourite public artwork in Calgary for this reason. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1620699354547-7BJYUHBRI3TV1S31OWO9/Screen+Shot+2021-05-10+at+7.33.39+PM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path -

This house has a fun history. It was built in 1908 by carpenter Joseph Beers, later it was purchased by Ernst Wood who converted it into the English Meat Market, after which it became a grocery store and then an antique shop. In 1998, artist Rhonda Thurn purchased it and intrigued by its history decided to recognize its history by painting “Beers House” on the front facade that already has the appearance of a storefront. Yes, strangers often think it is a pub and knock on the door wondering what beers she had.

The City encourages the use of cemetery grounds for not only remembering loved ones, but for passive activities like walking and cycling. As well, the City offers free summer guided walking tours of Union, Burnsland and St. Mary’s cemeteries (when there are no COVID restrictions in place). If you are looking for a calming experience, a chance to get away and reflect on the past, a walkabout in a local cemetery can be a meaningful experience. https://everydaytourist.ca/calgary-visitor-information/calgary-architecture-ahead-or-behind-the-curvenbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1601830977742-AE4KJ20GHJPZJBACG2XX/Screen+Shot+2020-10-04+at+11.02.09+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Architecture: Ahead Or Behind The Curve?  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1601830980150-IBDTP9TEU51WO5TYWH5Y/Screen+Shot+2020-10-04+at+10.57.29+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Architecture: Ahead Or Behind The Curve?  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1601829008112-NEEDTLHGSXMIG5KB0CYM/IMG_2224.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Architecture: Ahead Or Behind The Curve?  Calgary’s new Cancer Centre, part of the mega Foothills Medical Centre, was designed by Calgary’s Stantec and DIALOG Design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1601829205452-4HTDWZHCZ13HTY2MI5NA/27424-95409.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary Architecture: Ahead Or Behind The Curve?  Computer rendering of what the Cancer Centre will look like when finished.

Calgary Gardens: Donna’s Memory Garden In Highwood - Lessons Learned We had a similar experience this past March in Portland, Oregon where exploring a mid-century planned community called Ladd’s Addition. We said “Hi” to a lady working on her front yard and she immediately started up a conversation that allowed us to get a long-time local’s insights into how the community and city was evolving. It confirmed many of our observations about how similar Portland and Calgary are when it comes to urban renewal. #2 Front yard gardens are a great way to meet the neighbours. Like Donna, I too have found that our front garden makes people walking by stop and say hello or give a comment, which often results in a short conversation. And, young children love our fairy garden and “retired” playground equipment creatures in the garden, often testing them out….at least before COVID hit.

I love it when people place sculptures in their yards. This is perhaps the most ambitious artwork I have seen in a Caglary yard. This piece reminds me of a Henry Moore “Reclining Nude.” There is no information saying who did it or title and perhaps that is OK. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1588086833289-PRTXLFKGCDZ2TXM22TW1/IMG_8329.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Fun Flaneur Finds In My ‘Hood!

The Calgary Stampede is a not-for-profit organization that depends very much on the profits earned during the 10-days of Stampede to fund its year-round operations. This year’s Stampede will be missed by Calgarians and Albertans of all ages. https://everydaytourist.ca/calgary-visitor-information/2020/4/6/calgary-celebrating-its-history monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1586713253971-Q6B4HJP345J12MLEGBSQ/IMG_0286+2.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path -

Last Word Indeed, Calgary has been more successful in preserving and celebrating its past than many people give it credit for.

Its archaeological sites, heritage buildings, and extensive archival, library, and museum collections capture a fascinating history that continues to influence city life." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1586713708134-QHZADNZZPLWU7LFUI5ZJ/DSC05396.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary: Celebrating Its History https://everydaytourist.ca/calgary-visitor-information/2020/1/10/little-free-libraries-fun monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1578712807837-EK8OT9K9PTYA4662KYN4/Screen+Shot+2020-01-10+at+9.55.11+AM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Little Free Libraries Fun!

Recently mega long benches were added as part of the new flood mitigation design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1569078068791-2KBKWPCI8CMRTTXBO7LR/Screen+Shot+2019-09-19+at+9.03.05+PM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America! But time to move on – and only a few strides away from the formal entrance to Prince’s Island and Eau Claire Plaza. Prince’s Island Park is named after Peter Prince who, in 1886, built the Eau Claire Lumber Mill at this site. He dug a channel in the river to bring the logs from the Bow River to the mill. The channel is now the Prince’s Island lagoon and it was instrumental in converting what was once a migrating gravel bar to more permanent island, resulting in the creation of the park. The City purchased the land from the Prince family in 1947 for a park. The Park hosts many festivals not the least of which is Calgary’s International Folk Festival. As well you’ll discover the Chevron Learning Pathway, a small sculpture park and one of Calgary’s oldest and best restaurants - River Café.

Just a few steps eastward and you encounter a large propeller-like artifact the middle of the pathway. Indeed it is a propeller from a nameless arctic ship. The plaque explains that the propeller which served many years in the Arctic was donated to the City of Calgary by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) in 1993 to commemorate the fact that Arctic section of SNAME, was started in Calgary in 1980 to support arctic oil and gas exploration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568950419660-C8DARZ0JG702Q9KCNJQ0/Screen+Shot+2019-09-19+at+9.03.18+PM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

Next stop - Sien Lok Park on the northern edge of Chinatown. This park, created in 1982 is Chinatown’s only green space. The cone-shaped sculpture in the middle of it, titled “In Search of Gold Mountain,” was sculpted by Chu Honsun using 15 tonnes of granite from Hopei Province in China. The park has several other interesting artworks and two majestic Chinese Lions. The park is very popular with the Canadian Geese, so be careful where you walk or sit! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568947595229-JU4I0PDUZIE8AL350TS4/DSC02195.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

The bridge is beautiful in the evening when it is lit up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568947822911-GES4LPOAY0Y43BNAFN7G/Screen+Shot+2019-09-17+at+9.11.29+PM.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

However we are heading east, but not before checking out “The Wolfe and Sparrows” sculpture by Brandon Vickerd, a piece inspired by the 1898 statue of General James Wolfe sculpture by John Massey in Calgary’s Mount Royal community. From a distance, it looks like a typical realistic figurative bronze figure, but get up close to see \ the top of the sculpture is actually a flock of sparrows. The piece was conceived based on many conversations with community members who wanted something historical, yet contemporary. (Ironically General Wolfe never visited Calgary and his fame as the victorious British general in the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City in 1759 has nothing to do with Calgary. In 1759, the confluence of the Bow and Elbow River was a temporary summer meeting place for local First Nations.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1569115274878-1WRMTA7AGG8K35HMRFI3/IMG_2303.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

West Hillhurst: Portrait Of My Neighbourhood West Hillhurst Park is the heart of not only our neighbourhood but of the entire North Hill district. It has a funky old arena, squash courts, tennis/pickle ball courts, a gym, a day care, seniors' lounge, outdoor swimming pool, community garden, playground and playing fields. It may not be as big or fancy as new recreation centres in the 'burbs but it does the job. It is also home to the The Barn, a quaint pub where you can watch what is happening in the arena.

The 4th and 5th Avenue Flyover bridges as seen from Riverwalk. The City of Calgary informed me that neither bridge has a name, but when taking this photo I notice a plaque tucked up on the concrete beam above saying the 5th Ave Flyover is actually the Henry Kroeger Bridge a former Minister of Transportation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1425329752105-WJM4DO0Q0G90IHQU0PBW/Prince%27s+Island+Bridge Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Bridges over the Bow!

The skeleton-like structure creates interesting viewing vistas for those who stop, while at the same time blocking an expansive view of the river, the sky, park and skyline as you proceed along the bridge. Visually it seems antagonistic, rather than synergistic with the natural setting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1421700822390-8BFC2ZHTS38C07RYRQRC/image-asset.png Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Tale of Three Calgary Pedestrian Bridges Peace Bridge links the north and south side of the extensive Bow River pathways system for walkers, joggers and cyclists.

One of the barriers to creating new urban villages in established neighbourhoods, especially on the west side of the city is the fragmented ownership. It becomes very difficult to assembly the large tract of land needed to develop an integrated plan of mixed-uses. The opportunity to create a new community like West District on the city's west side is very limited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1417050554341-HIJ6BYA9T5CVFQWOSQYY/West+District+Master+Plan Calgary Off The Beaten Path - West District: An urban village in the 'burbs! West District calls for low density residential on the south side next to single family homes, with low-rise condos and offices on the north side with a traditional grid street pattern which will server to create the Kensington-like community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1416592242798-O9GEPBYLRHTZROR8TH05/Kensignton Calgary Off The Beaten Path - West District: An urban village in the 'burbs! While it might take a few years for West District to have the urban patina of Kensington, the goal is to create a community that has a wonderful outdoor culture of patios, parks and pedestrians.

The name comes from the fact the bridges are 15 feet off the ground. Over 60 bridges, connect over 100 buildings to create a 20 km walkway. Unfortunately it is a bit like a maze and it is not contiguous, but it is a unique and fun way to explore the downtown especially for kids. Along the way amongst other things you can find a bush plane hanging from the ceiling in the lobby of one office building and the skeleton of a bison in another.

The next piece you encounter is Ray Mead's "Totem" (1986) which hangs above the concierge desk. Again it adds lots of colour and have an aboriginal quality to them in the simple mark-making and flattened stylized images. The title also suggest an affinity with First Nations sense of place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388206397867-PJZFK0OY337BA9AD0MSU/NewYork55.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! Tucked away in one of the three elevator lobbies is this unusual Jack Bush painting "New York 55" (1955). Unusual in that most of us associate Bush with bright primary colours, yet this piece is mostly blacks, browns and pinks. The piece definitely conveys New York's sense of place as the world's leading skyscraper city with its collage of vertical blocks, interspersed with smaller marks for windows and swirls for window reflections. This is probably the most literal Bush piece I have ever seen and certainly is museum quality. Definitely a good choice for EAP as it is one of Canada's best skyscrapers. Did you know that Downtown Calgary is built at the same density as Manhattan or Chicago? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388206574563-1UTA14CHDGRTTVCXWNB3/Oliviers.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! Any public art gallery in Canada would love to have this piece titled "Oliviers" by Jean-Paul Riopelle in their collection. I wonder if the EAP tenants who pass by it everyday even realize that they get to enjoy a painting by one of Canada's iconic artists everyday. While other office buildings in North America have modern art in their lobby; there are very few that have iconic works of art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388206933612-I1UY41WU7IOIE2F3FGTQ/LeClimatRouge.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! Jean McEwan's "Le Climat Rouge" (1957) invites contemplation, I want to grab the bench that is underneath the painting and move it to the middle of the elevator lobby and just sit and study it. It is obvious that the six artworks have been carefully selected to complement each other with a focus on use of colour, brush and mark-making and abstracting from nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388207331605-BY3TKC5WPHLSHMLIFVLA/Chile.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! Marcelle Ferron's "Chile" (1973) combines elements of Shadbolt, Mead, Riopelle, Bush and McEwan in her work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388207781457-3WDIKUDZ7ZJWXH4DW7BJ/Skyscapes.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby!

And yes over the holidays they had the TVs turned to the Shaw's burning fireplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388208087337-GBLJS8PHWGPG35PN5CY2/Lobby.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! EAP's has one of the most dramatic office lobbies in Canada, perhaps North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388209389569-19ETFA5HJR0INF8B0JLJ/ice+bursts.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! These "ice bursts" were created by Stephen Stefanou of Venue Arts. Each point of the bursts is individually created by slowly pushing a metal rod through the heated plastic-like material, so each is unique. There are several "bursts" hanging from the ceiling in the central lobby as well as the lobbies of the two towers. Flood lights are used to slowly change the colour of the bursts adding yet another element of surprise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388209319031-651LUZ2RH2WYSIBFX1LX/Hoardingart.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! While under construction EAP had over 20 reproductions of artworks by senior Calgary artists covering the construction hoarding along the side of the road. It was literally a who's who of Calgary art. I have never seen this done before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388244598092-3QNQNRET1B0TXFPK6TA1/EAP+Gallery.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! On the second floor (+15 level) SQCommons has been operating a "pop-up" contemporary gallery both in the public areas and in a 6,000+ square foot future retail space. The space has also been used for several special events including Burst Calgary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388209513932-O4J4YQGWYI55CK6I9PYW/EAP.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Iconic Canadian art hidden in YYC office lobby! The unique design for Eight Avenue Place was inspired by the Canadian Rockies with their jagged, angular, shard-like peaks. The building's facade reflects Calgary's abundant sunshine at several different angles during the day and seasons creating an ever-changing facade. https://everydaytourist.ca/calgary-visitor-information/2013/11/20/ffqing-in-downtown-calgarys-udderly-art-pasture monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1384984890967-RFKSK5M3VAKDO9Q8R2XX/PastureEastEntrance.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - FFQing in Downtown Calgary's Udderly Art Pasture!

Moony Trader is one of the first cows you encounter. Damien Manchuk from ACAD was the artist, the piece was commissioned by Hugh McGillvary of CIBC Wood Gundy who had an idea to dress up a cow as a stock-trading pit trader. Hugh took Damien to men's clothing store to see what well-dress cows were wearing in 2000 and let his imagination go to work. The result was a pin-stripped hind quarters, a bright yellow striped power tie and the now antique looking computer strapped to his nose so he could keep up with the TSE quotes 24 hours a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1384985490301-G9FZOSPT18LQ49KN19MS/Chew-Choo.JPG Calgary Off The Beaten Path - FFQing in Downtown Calgary's Udderly Art Pasture!

One of my favourite pieces was Chewing the Cud by Evelyn Grant commissioned by the Calgary Downtown Association (yes I am bias as I was the Executive Director of the CDA at the time). The piece was a wonderful bronze bovine schmoozing with the two "fat cats' on Stephen Avenue. Unfortunately the piece was often vandalized not only when it was on the street but even in the pasture. Today all that is left is this photo of Chewing the Cud and The Conversation on Stephen Avenue but it is hard to view with the reflections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1384986476995-NP36SNUAZF0N0HZQ12HA/ChewingtheCudonthestreet.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - FFQing in Downtown Calgary's Udderly Art Pasture!

Found this image on the Copenhagenize Design Co. website. While for many "bikes for transportation" advocates this is the vision i.e. roads crowded with people using their bikes for everyday activities. However, I am not sure this would be attractive to many of the Calgarians who are currently reluctant to use roads and pathways as it is too crowded. It would be interesting to show them this picture and say would you be wiling to ride on this bike lane. I It will take a huge paradigm shift in the thinking of Calgarians to move from recreational to transportational cycling. The creation of new bike lanes to link the current pathway system to key destinations is a great place to start. But we need to be realistic in our expectations of the numbers who will be prepared to make the change and this is not going to happen overnight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1367415020261-ITTOTF2ZCSKTFI2UI7SC/Bike+Richard+.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary: Canada's Bike Friendly City! Last Word Big Blue sits in the garage. Used only occasionally unfortunately. In my teens and early 20s I used my bike for "transportation" , but once I got a car it was more convenient and comfortable to drive rather than ride (see blog on Comfort and Convenience). I did ride my bike to work in my 40s when I worked downtown and my life was more downtown centric. Today my live, work, play is all over the place and changes hourly.

One adaptation to winter is to create skybridges to connect offices, hotels, retail, cultural and convention centre buildings. Currently there are 63 bridges, connecting over 100 buildings, creating a maze that is over 20 km long. It is on par with Montreal's famous underground system. It is called the +15 system, as the skybridges are 15 feet off the ground, connecting buildings at the second floor level. The Core shopping centre which stretches over three blocks along Stephen Ave Walk pedestrian mall is connected by +15 and +30 bridges. The original +15 bridges were simple rectangles without much thought given to the design; however they are gradually being retrofitted to become more visually appealing. One of the advantages of an elevated bridge walkway vs. underground is that pedestrians get to enjoy the sunlight and vistas the elevated glass bridges provide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364082038303-TGZ8L4QH6M0CMHUDVK1L/EPCORbridge Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary: City Of Parks & Pathways +15 bridge connecting the Municipal Building and Museum of Contemporary Art / Calgary with the EPCOR Performing Arts Centre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364082100389-UFFTYDO1TXO23WWGBU43/7thAveTransitCorridor.jpg Calgary Off The Beaten Path - Calgary: City Of Parks & Pathways Looking down 7th Avenue Transit Corridor, you can see there are bridges on every block.

I picked up three record albums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1e3ea4c1-7b22-472e-a721-636db4013251/IMG_9261.jpeg Globe Trekking - Conway G&T: Golfing and Thrifting Fun - Make it stand out Hot Tip: If you go to Florence, be sure to stop in at the Thieves Market, a huge antique shop that is fun to explore, reminisce about the past and maybe find a treasure.

Don’t be turned off by the run-down outside appearance of the building or even the leaking roof - there are lots of curated and professionally exhibited treasures inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/71c70691-cbb8-4e05-aa8d-2acee1b3d468/IMG_9272.jpg Globe Trekking -

In the photo, the rice is being divided to share with all of the local families. It was nice to see that the rice didn’t go only to the village chief and his family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1560204936829-4ZJX9Q4F3S8E9ON17CVV/Senegal%232.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life in Africa : Senegal We were in Senegal at the height of the harvest season for many fruits and melons. It was common to see piles of watermelons along the roads and stacked on sidewalks, like the ones in the photo. Many of these fruit stands seemed to be unattended, I assume that buyers would select a melon and then pay the grower directly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1560204961101-U1QID2ZZML7B3AFHAHWK/Senegal%233.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life in Africa : Senegal A group of colorful fishing boats in the harbor at St. Louis, Senegal. St. Louis is a major port for Senegal and a large portion of the people earn their living from the sea. Much of the fishing is done at night and the boats return in the morning to sell their catch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1560204985686-0S1U1RGFI8T5CP6W3Z2E/Senegal%234.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life in Africa : Senegal The fishing beach, St. Louis, Senegal. Hundreds of dilapidated houses, little more than shacks, crowd the edge of the beach in St. Louis, often with fishing boats tucked between them well above the tide. The children mainly play on the beach as there is virtually no other open space in the fishing village. Adults seem to commonly use the beach as a sidewalk to visit friends and neighbors.

Show me a street full of neon and I will show you a street full of life. Human beings are attracted to neon like moths to a light bulb.

This angel is distinct in that her body is disproportionately huge in comparison to her head, her features are unusual and her face is slim. The angel's right hand extends to present a nail, while her left hand holds two more nails. “They will look upon me whom they have pierced," reads the inscription. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1bcb908b-ace5-42cb-bc79-f1f6d0f16a15/IMG_6281.jpg Globe Trekking - Portrait of a bridge: Rome's Angel Bridge - Make it stand out Angel Carrying the Cross Sculpted by Ercole Ferrata, the inscription on this statue reads, “Dominion rests on his shoulders". The cross represents the cross that Christ was forced to carry through Jerusalem before being crucified. The sculpture is inferior to the others on the bridge in that it appears to be a two-dimensional relief sculpture rather than an unbounded three-dimensional artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/578b42c3-9faf-4ff4-aa1c-773e1fc12a4d/Screenshot+2024-01-23+at+12.16.49+PM.png Globe Trekking - Portrait of a bridge: Rome's Angel Bridge - Make it stand out Angel Carrying the Superscription The eighth angel, officially entrusted to Giulio Cartari is a replica of Bernini's work. The angel's superscription reads INRI, which stands for "Jesus of Nazarene, King of the Jews" portrays the sign nailed to the cross over Jesus' head. It almost appears that the drapery was added after the body sculpture was completed. The inscription on this angel reads, “God has reigned from the tree”, referring to the wood of the cross. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/34d094e6-df43-46ac-b550-1db04790fbd8/Screenshot+2024-01-23+at+12.21.10+PM.png Globe Trekking - Portrait of a bridge: Rome's Angel Bridge - Make it stand out Angel Carrying The Whips The inscription reads “In flagella paratus sum” ("I am ready for the whip", Psalms 38:18). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/370716bd-a830-4fe8-a03d-9df181d5f18d/IMG_6280.jpg Globe Trekking - Portrait of a bridge: Rome's Angel Bridge - Make it stand out Angel with the Lance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/50ae583a-58cf-474e-aa3d-f7e4c8f840c7/IMG_6277.jpg Globe Trekking - Portrait of a bridge: Rome's Angel Bridge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/carnegie-libraries-an-amazing-legacy monthly 0.5 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/b55e7d11-71f6-47ea-b489-d50ad8a32059/IMG_1186.JPG Globe Trekking - Carnegie Libraries: An Amazing Legacy - Make it stand out I know I am bias but I do think Calgary’s Memorial Park Library (1912) is one of the nicest libraries in the entire Carnegie Library family.

Sailors landing in English ports knew that a show globe in a store window meant medical treatment was available there. In America, a red show globe could mean the town had some kind of quarantine or disease while a green one indicated the town was healthy. Dick Wiedhopf, Curator, History of Pharmacy Museum, informed us in an email that "pharmacists took great pride in creating colours for their show globes. There are several books on how to make these colours, but today we use common food colouring. The yellow colour has not meaning, other than it is attractive." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1397187204523-0RQBGWE6S9FDUXRA3SLG/poison Globe Trekking - Footnotes: University of Arizona, Resort vs Research One can only wonder what pharmacists used poisons for in the 19th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1397187273476-J9ZIVWJY6C12QGE0P8PS/Humphrey%27s Globe Trekking - Footnotes: University of Arizona, Resort vs Research Homeopathic medicines such as Humphreys Specifics were common in drugstore windows at the turn of the century.

Robert Colescott, “Eat Dim Taters” 1975 Didactic panel reads: By the mid-70s, Colescott was fully engaged in his appropriation of art history. This painting replaces van Gogh’s somber peasants with exuberantly grinning minstrel figures in order to send up the myth of the “happy darky.” The notion that blacks could be happy with very little was a staple of pre-World War II Hollywood films. This concept was also included in school textbooks of the period, in which blacks were described as fortunate to be enslaved, since slavery removed them from their previous, barbaric circumstances in Africa. Colescott effectively uses the stylization of raciest stereotypes of blacks to draw viewers into the painting; and, regardless of their reaction, he forces the to confront their racist attitudes, anger, or compliance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592422506224-BW6ULZWZPDHR3ZLWHWA3/IMG_6521.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592422570938-TCCV2O8NKSDK64IV11TX/IMG_6522.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592422733516-Z9A2OFW2V0WKTE0UFIXS/DSC07261.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592422763039-5ICKW4LXBBTH2932GDMS/DSC07262.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592421180508-U5KKUE6PTY3R3D5AVUT7/DSC07268.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592423178111-O3SP40C3MSAN49S9LCVT/DSC07285.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592423030887-1L10DLG78A487O0GTW8Y/DSC07286.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592421235526-712AZOJ6UPEQ34RG2FIH/the-daddies-for-web.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592421296003-5END6F7A7WEQCU11AG6I/the-scream-for-web.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1593274322161-AYMLA83PWVOH34P1QABL/slave_in_a_box_450w.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! In Slave in a Box, Smith continues to expose the ubiquitous corporate symbols that have become so familiar in our commercial landscape that we forget their origins. The Colonel from Kentucky Fried Chicken is a not-quite-rehabilitated plantation owner; Rastus (Cream of Wheat) and Aunt Jemima represent comfort food, visual holdovers from the dream of the beloved and benign house slave. The roles of the sacred and the profane are always at odds in fine art. The profane image-world of our daily lives is punctuated with derogatory stereotypes. One might hope to make aspirational imagery, but the vulgar reflects our on-the-ground reality. There is power in the muck of commercial images. This is Smith’s prima materia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592423905312-CST3BJNV2DVMAWW75Q41/DSC08715.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592423916434-9059W2SCGEOUA1JRNFMN/DSC08716.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592423371874-4C6WM3GZE3ILJX2LR0OJ/DSC08707.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592423346372-E5OXKFPD9HHA5B9ECDTY/DSC08706.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592424391959-F5M6CJM1P68101DK7Y42/DSC08740.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592424032997-I56PKXZ10SQBWFIK0FIE/IMG_7407.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! Daniel Duford, Still Life with Bread and Flood, 2020 Didactic reads: In this still life, John Brown’s head is on a cake plate. The head, however, is not a dead thing, but sprouts sunflowers, bringing light as a massive flood enters the door of the plantation house. The two skulls are traditional memento mori symbols, reminding the viewer of the inevitability of death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592424680496-5XBB9H9PXXQQ7F158SO7/DSC08753.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! Daniel Duford, Toward the Gallows the Course of Empire Makes Its Way, 2020. Didactic reads: This painting is a riff on the Hudson River School paintings, specifically Thomas Cole’s paintings of his house in the Catskills. The title refers to an Emmanuel Luetze painting, Westward the Course of Empire Makes Its Way. John Brown was made to sit on his own coffin as he was driven to the gallows. He calmly remarked on the landscape as he passed. This is the dream of landscape of the American Empire. The gallows is at the end of a thread, not the redemptive West. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443150346-ITZLEW2L8URK8KIXNEMF/IMG_7441.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443167146-HL8RLDOGFB2SBBQ4KOW6/IMG_7446.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443179741-VWXA20W17Z2ZZNEANYXH/IMG_7455.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443201119-VRXL07SME43NEJRSRND7/IMG_7448.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443210835-MN3QNWTKRM4PCT7286WP/DSC08784.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443484665-UHKN4DSDZFEWJGXN6HWE/DSC09094.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443273407-BP5RBJAZO88J252Q86ZI/DSC09103.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443291096-8CB0XZQYD6VXXR5USFOJ/DSC09104.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443359069-BE12CFSPFPVCK38REK9Z/DSC09105.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592443376560-65PDX6JHLKLFYOGPP6UW/DSC09106.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444386494-W5A8DIM3SCIW1G53PKEV/DSC07539.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444402797-FY910P73723CLPSOHURG/DSC07527.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444422596-UFJ25WBMJ9FCYEUENHE2/DSC07526.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444454776-WHTOYODVBYFW3Y3NKSCO/DSC07531.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444477421-5RCKYBLMN9NNAVQNC2ZY/DSC07530.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444548296-4O56XMBGKWSIA787P2S8/DSC07529.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444515294-ZER48I9PYHQUT5XKBJJ8/DSC07536.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592444668572-AEJLXMFAMIMU1W2KEQG8/First-Thursday-Pearl-RobFinch.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1592493057586-XZWAZKE7KA58V5LESPBV/DSC07644.jpg Globe Trekking - Portland Oregon: A Visual Arts Mecca! I debated on if I should take this photo and then if I should keep it. My original intent was just to take a photo of homeless cart on train. I decided to keep it so I could use it to raise awareness of the huge urban homeless/poverty issues across North America. This individual got on the train with all of his possessions at a suburban station and immediately started cursing and swearing very, very loud. He then put his finger in his mouth as if he was going to blow his head off. It was very scary and very sad at the same time. What could I do? What should I have done? He was very agitated and very unstable.

London Streets: Street Fashion Fun aka Bill Cunningham - Last Word Cunningham said, “ I go out every day. When I get depressed at the office, I go out, and as soon as I’m on the street and see people, I feel better. But I never go out with a preconceived idea. I let the street speak to me.” Great cities have great street life and one of the key elements of street life is the fashion show of its citizens.

A woman was doing a bustling business cooking up a sweet dough mix in a dimpled pan over a wood fire, a steady stream of locals bought the treats as quickly as she could cook them. We purchased a few and found they had a texture similar to a cake-style doughnut, and that they were delicious! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1564447850266-AZS82FHLMA5S5CJZZYLI/Bob+%234.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Live In Africa: Republic of Mali & the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire Our Lady of Peace Basilica, Yamoussoukro, Cote d’Ivoire This huge church was built during the presidency of Felix Houphouët-Boigny, the first president of the Ivory Coast after independence from France in 1960. It can seat over 18,000 people, but normally draws only a couple of hundred for religious services in this mainly Muslim country.

Despite being mainly Muslim, many people rely on their animist traditions to get answers to personal problems. Fetish priests conduct rituals and animal sacrifices of chickens, sheep, and goats at this large boulder. A patch of chicken feathers stuck to the rock with blood is clearly visible. Shortly before we arrived, the lamb had been sacrificed to divine the solution to a problem. The lamb was carved into pieces for cooking and eating by the family that night. https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/2019/7/2/everyday-life-in-africa-republic-of-sierra-leone monthly 0.5 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562123883488-UL48D1M0LT0ORNO8HCTZ/DSCF5126-Edit-Edit.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Daniel’s Courtyard Neighbor, Makeni, Sierra Leone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562124666321-MF0QTN7LE4G1GRAINJ82/Screen+Shot+2019-07-02+at+9.30.38+PM.png Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562123867354-FNI0FBNIMN0PYERGBYPC/DSCF5128.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Daniel’s Mother, Makeni, Sierra Leone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562123954293-00GJD67ATHAAWXW9YDOM/DSCF5122-Edit.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Daniel’s Grandmother, Makeni, Sierra Leone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562123909546-NKLE9HW2RQODB7VR4XTR/DSCF5124.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Neighbors Sheltering from the Rain, Makeni, Sierra Leone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562123930506-BETK76FWBC7CJRIW1YIX/DSCF5123+2.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Daniel’s Family, Makeni, Sierra Leone https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562123985049-NYQ5PLFA9GWH1GY44DUO/SierraLeone+%233.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone We stopped along the road one day for a break on the edge of a village just as the local school was finishing for the day. We were quickly surrounded by about 100 curious students. They crowded around and some of our group who spoke French were able to converse and answer their questions. Nearly all the girls had intricately braided hair, and they were more than willing to pose for our pictures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562124029102-YT7AT08HUV1EE25OYZCZ/SierraLeone+%234.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Due to a mechanical breakdown on our truck, we spent nearly an entire day in the tiny village of Kambama. The people seem very accepting of us wandering around the village and taking pictures of their houses, school, and their activities. Most of the village is Christian and their children attend the small village school. These two boys were part of the Muslim minority and they receive instruction from an Imam who visits the village 1 or 2 days each week. They were proud to display their homework neatly written in Arabic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562124049105-1KZFIR5A5K3TW5SY64VE/SierraLeone+%235.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone This small church was built by freed slaves who returned to Sierra Leone.

At least two streams had to be forded by the group, that prevented many of the guests from getting to the village to attend the burial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1562124000834-91U714F04OMEHIP5I3SO/SierraLeone+%231.jpg Globe Trekking - Everyday Life In Africa: Republic of Sierra Leone Bure beach at sunset. Bure beach is a common destination for weekends and holidays for people living in nearby Freetown. There are a number of small hotels and scattered individual cottages along this stretch of fine sandy beach. We stayed at the pompously name Bure Beach Resort, it was not in the resort category by any standards. The corrugated iron roof over the lobby and dining area leaked so badly it was nearly as wet inside as in the afternoon downpour outside. The rooms were small and barren and the curtains on the windows had rotted to shreds. On the plus side, the plumbing mainly worked, the staff was amazingly accommodating and the meals were surprisingly good. https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/2019/2/1/singapore-dare-to-be-different monthly 0.5 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1549082558730-KXNJVMUQ70GN1XSOYHSX/Screen+Shot+2019-02-01+at+9.42.09+PM.png Globe Trekking - Singapore: Dare To Be Different!

This arborglyph was taken from Fisher Creek area of the Stanley basin, in the Sawtooth National Forest. It is an image of a church carved into the tree. It took about 20 years for this aspen tree to mature enough to reveal the carving when it was alive. The tree had been dead for a number of years when this section was removed for preservation.

Found this primitive crocodile bench early and thought it might be a bit strange and scary for toddlers. This was only the beginning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490685245410-AYBEI1F2CCZ8LECRHNFO/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World?

Almost all of the swings in Berlin have some sort of character at the top. In this case, it was a well-weathered cartoon figure, but in most cases it was an animal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490684931474-O3H091Q1CMD0R7QCKLZC/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World? These sculpture-like pieces of wood, reminded my of spinning tops. Note in the background is a small hard surface for soccer, roller blading or other activities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490685118031-Q16JPRHIG68B02IPAQLT/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World? Liked the use of natural trees in this playground, with roots still attached to create a swing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490687884010-VBIJG3DFHP0MA8ADIZJM/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World?

This was our local playground on the weekends and from about 3 pm to about 7 pm weekday depending on weathe. It is also busy during the day as there are probably 6 or more daycares in the immediate area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490687206015-HUYMGXFT8CWQWR33ML0D/image-asset.jpeg Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World? This playground was busy even on a cool day in early March. It was part of a large complex with skatepark across the street, dog park and hard surface playing cages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490687251637-1IKS94QY263LX9C1GRM8/image-asset.jpeg Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World? I don't think I have ever seen more strollers and young kids on striders, bikes and scooters than as I saw in Berlin's Kreuzberg district on an everyday basis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490797907123-7T5LKRQRSIE63T0WBAAU/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490685017860-CZXP8RP0789YSQLDL9U6/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World? It was probably two weeks before I saw a new playground which had the same elements as the old ones just more colour. There is a strong sense of craftsmanship and being hand-made to these enchanting playgrounds. They look like something magical, out of a children's storybook. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490685068206-UIWIHMBHNPRDFXUNDG4I/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World?

There is a small playground behind the hill in the background, along with these three red sculpture like pieces that could be used to sit on or to climb over or jump off of. Ping pong tables are also common in Berlin playground public spaces and yes they do get used. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1490688074560-VUWSEZ3BIT0K8DMYOBCZ/image-asset.png Globe Trekking - Berlin: The Playground Capital of the World?

Another example of caged arena-like play area.

The black lines are the shadow of a patio fence, which add a quirky sense of perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398556461862-TGW1PB82C74N7MYI0H2R/Drink+up Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs We love "window licking" (the literal English translation of the French phrase for window shopping is "window licking"). The crazy quilt collage-like imagery is a wonderful reflection of the city's street culture. The Colorado Running Room had one of the best FFQ windows in Colorado Springs. Downtown Colorado Springs is very pedestrian-oriented with its wide sidewalks, clean streets/alleys and mix of historic and new architecture. It is definitely worth a couple of hours of flaneuring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398556496740-N9IGOMKHE0AXX7F0W4B5/pancakes Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs Brenda loved the Blueberry Lemon Streusel pancakes at the Over Easy diner - the best she has ever tasted.

Not only is the 1936 art deco building with its 2008 modern addition a fun space to explore, but many of the exhibitions and artworks had FFQ elements. This is world renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly's "Orange Hornet Chandelier" - or as most people call it the red pepper sculpture. It consists of 300+ glass vessels linked together to create it. It will be the centerpiece for the blockbuster exhibition of his work running from May 3 to September 28, 2014. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398571914754-FQZJBJYGWTTFSGAFF4E3/horse Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs This was one of many fun folk art pieces in the gallery.

It is truly a sacred place with it surreal, orange rock formations. I was intrigued when a young boy asked me "have I had seen the Indian Head?" When I answered "No" he quickly took me to see it. I couldn't believe I missed it given how obvious and huge it was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398556635504-9TIGHUWZJYT4WJHDOHNF/balancing+rock Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs The "Balancing Rock" is the signature rock formation in the Garden of the Gods. It is a fun place to walk around and under (if you dare). It is amazing how accessible the formations are to the public and just a 15-minute drive from downtown. You could have spent all day there walking the trails, having a picnic and watching the movie at the Visitor Center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398556679849-DIHO0LV5BXV3F9BA9CMN/giraffe Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs Perhaps the quirkiest experience I've had in a long time was feeding the giraffes at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Barely get in the gate, visitors are welcomed by several hungry giraffes with their long tongues sticking out waiting to be fed. Two dollars gets you a handful of lettuce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398556707712-11HSE6WPZIO4P383LCDX/Always+move+forward Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs One of our most fun experiences wandering around downtown was to happen upon a house that had been converted into a funky, landscape architecture office. Brenda needed a stamp so we went in to ask about the design of the house, as well as where we might purchase a stamp. We left not only with information on the home-to-office conversion but also with a free stamp (the woman insisted on giving Brenda the postage for her postcard). Yes, we still send postcards! However, the stamp didn't stick very well so then we needed some scotch tape. As we were passing another intriguing street office space with the words "ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD" on the window, Brenda decided to head in and see if they might have some tape. Inside were four young people with their laptops, two on couch and two at desks. After the shock of unexpected visitors, they quickly asked how they could help us. After first bringing some "duct" tape (she should have been more specific), they quickly found the scotch tape she needed. In the meantime, I was busy taking photos of their street front window, being as intrigued by the words and their juxtaposition with the cathedral across the road. Once I had finished taking my photos, we started chatting about things to see and do in Colorado Springs and what they did. Ironically, they develop apps and one is for enhanced photography - VSCOcam. We quickly downloaded it and they gave me a quick tutorial (more info at VSCO.CO) Now that was a fun, flaneuring experience! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1398570563242-UTH6HS1VDR9MYF3ISFW0/Peanut+Butter Globe Trekking - Fun, Funky, Quirky Colorado Springs Just in case you weren't yet convinced that downtown Colorado Springs is an FFQ mecca, I'll end this blog with an ice cream cone window cartoon character inviting you to a sidewalk peanut butter tasting (Pad Thai, Pumpkin Spice, S'mores etc.) - that was a first for us! https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/2014/4/16/a-mazing-university-of-new-mexico-campus-albuguerque monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1397701620903-CCMSMYY6UQ7X82YFOEQI/campus+map Globe Trekking - A-mazing University of New Mexico campus: Albuquerque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1397700396855-GLQ8DAYO4THDOOD7UPPG/School+of+Architecture+Planning Globe Trekking - A-mazing University of New Mexico campus: Albuquerque School of Architecture and Planning, one of the newest buildings on campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1397700609905-BB70EYCQ3R1XJHAPNDPI/HodginHall Globe Trekking - A-mazing University of New Mexico campus: Albuquerque Hodgin Hall the oldest building on campus.

While Wright was not a big fan of glass initially, when he did decide to add it to Taliesin West, he did so in an innovative manner by moving the structural posts away from the corners creating better views of the gardens and mountains.

Brenda's souvenir find from our street walking in SLC was this 1938 postcard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1395443181422-9AF2WTNUCWCASIXLHVRD/Crosswalk Globe Trekking - Downtown Salt Lake City: More Than A Temple! One of the quirkier things we found flaneuring were these orange flags at crosswalks. It took me a while (Brenda figured it out right away) that you are supposed to grab a flag and wave it as you cross the street and then place it in the holder on the other side. Given the number of pedestrian / car accidents I have been reading about lately perhaps this is a good idea for all cities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1395440803140-KW5CRGWRS3IE181GCNU4/City+Creek+centre.jpg Globe Trekking - Downtown Salt Lake City: More Than A Temple! The City Creek Centre has an simulated creek running through the shopping centre. At first I was told this was actual water from the creek that runs through this area, but someone else said that this water is treated. However, there is a creek along the sidewalk next to the LDS Conference Centre that I am told is water from the actual creek that used to run from the canyon in the mountains to a river on the edge of downtown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1395439142313-GRH6L0K7F4GSVQXDD4O6/Family+search+centre Globe Trekking - Downtown Salt Lake City: More Than A Temple!

Brenda is thinking about what to wish for, before adding it to the Yoko Ono "Wish Tree." It is surprising how difficult it is when you are asked to make a wish, write it down and place in in public place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1395443228860-MCW74HK8UXPTAD2JVUSN/SLC+deli.jpg Globe Trekking - Downtown Salt Lake City: More Than A Temple!

Em's restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, great food and service. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a small bistro. Don't let the white tablecloths fool you - it is casual and good value.

We could show you an image of our plate but the ceiling is way more exciting. Loved the circus dolls. The menu is very interesting e.g. Macadamia coconut halibut mango salsa fried banana rice. Desserts are to die for e.g. sweet potato creme brulee or coconut bread pudding with lucuma ice cream.

We had to wait around for a bit but we did see several guys jump. If you look carefully you can see a speck of blue where the bridge shadow meets the steel arch at about two thirds of the way to the top of the image - that is a jumper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1391871614443-BKF1J08ZWEB90KFHT5F7/Bone-a-fideantlers Globe Trekking - Travels in small towns in North America One of our best small town experiences of 2013 was when we decided to park our car and walk the streets of Buhl, Idaho. Within seconds I looked over and saw this warehouse with something interesting in a bucket and on the ground. Wandering over, we found the warehouse was full of all kinds of antlers and mounted animal heads that were to be shipped all over the world. We spent over an hour chatting with the guys with the owners. The street art was the head and part of the carcass of an elk that had been shot by the owners son. Their trailer is perhaps the equivalent of the popemobile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1391872270904-OZEWIJQJJN3YUBJ0QUYE/Antlers Globe Trekking - Travels in small towns in North America Over 150,000 pounds of antlers are collected in this Buhl shop and then sorted and shipped to pet food plants, used for home decor objects etc. All of the antlers are naturally shed, only the mounted heads are from animals that are shot with permits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1391871826835-4NT4LPIY6O28VO5Q0Q99/Dairy Globe Trekking - Travels in small towns in North America The Clover Leaf Creamery was another find in Buhl, Idaho. It is a fully operational dairy that uses the old glass bottles and has a wonderful old fashion ice cream parlour. It is amazing what you find if you get off the inter-state highways and take the scenic route. Buhl also had a great thrift store with mid-century artifacts from the community's past. There was also a theatre converted into a Mexican restaurant which told the story of the present economic realities. It is amazing what you find if you get out of the car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1392332484923-82DBLN5CI1HWFG56VXDK/CloverleafCreameryinside Globe Trekking - Travels in small towns in North America Brenda is in her happy place. https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/2014/2/2/struck-out-in-memphis monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1391701610218-GGIMGNA61C43QYX1OLK7/IMG_7447.JPG Globe Trekking - Struck out in Memphis We did check out A.

I took lots of notes and I thought I kinda understood what they were doing but I am not even sure the boys on Big Bang Theory could totally comprehend the idea of measuring the existence of gravitatinal waves that was first postulated in 1916 as part of Einsteins theory of general relativity.

Loved this FFQ glass clouds suspended from the ceiling in the wine tasting event room.

The menu is fun with dished divided into Preface, Prologue, The Epilogue and The Archives rather than appetizers, salads, entrees and dessert. Too bad we couldn't take back more wine the 2006 Red Roan case special at $60 would have been a nice addition to our cellar. We are looking forward to being back for one of their Winemaker's 6 course dinners.

The Red Lion Parkside hotel's pool is also a hidden gem with its 28-foot waterslide and 6-foot rainbow LED light waterfall cascading from a lush native Northwest landscape scene. The pool has a fun history. When it was first opened in 1983, the hotel manager, losing a bet with the contractor that the pool wouldn’t be ready for the grand opening, had to go down the waterslide in his business suit. The manager, Don Barbieri, is now Chairman of the Board of Directors for Red Lions Hotels Corporation. In keeping with tradition, current General Manager Patrick Shimon also was the first to go down the waterslide – and in his business suit - after the 2012 renovations.

Why can't modern shopping centers create signage like this any more.

The store has been featured on Food Network and Travel Channel.

We have never seen this before. At first thought this might be a way of noting which coffee was black and which had milk but B didn't have milk so both were black...strange? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1380950101446-AX6EXORYT3O73QGG0MNN/Uptown+Desserts+by+Kelly+sign.jpg Globe Trekking - Flaneuring Finds at the Uptown Plaza We decided to check what else was in the plaza and just a few door around the corner was the sign "Desserts by Kelly" with the Atomic Bombe cake. Who could resist checking this out. Once inside we found the strangest shop. The front had framing and art supplies, another wall was all baseball collectables and then at the back was the bakery with wonderful looking cakes, cookies, scones and of course the Atomic Bombe cadke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1380950307563-YODM2M8NX300SVP3WWIR/Uptown+Atomic+Bombe+cake.jpg Globe Trekking - Flaneuring Finds at the Uptown Plaza This is the Atomic Bombe Cake with layers of velvety chocolate mousse, pralines and chocolate truffle icing.

One of the things like love is the reflections in the windows and the juxtaposition of the images. They create rich collages of images that have their own wonderful narrative. Like this one in the music store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1380950998722-J3XMMY6TUJ8R4IY8T4SD/Uptown+Antique+mall.jpg Globe Trekking - Flaneuring Finds at the Uptown Plaza At the end of the Uptown Plaza's shops was a huge antique mall that was full of treasure's for someone.

The neighbouring South Wacker Drive tower reflects many of the same massing (shape) elements but incorporates more decorative elements similar to the early 20th century towers and therefore is called post-modern architecture. It is the tallest building in the world known only by its street name. Built in 1990, it has a larger circular crown at top that is illuminated at night to make it the most visible building in Chicago's impressive skyline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1374019996272-4D5676O4D1GOBANFZFTO/ChicagoRiverPark.JPG Globe Trekking - Architecture River Cruise In Chicago An example of the many parks that are being created along the Chicago river as it becomes more and more an urban playground than a working river.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1374020087702-6HA243X1YRTGSVHJB86I/ChicagoRiverPathway.JPG Globe Trekking - Architecture River Cruise In Chicago A view of the recreational pathway that meanders along the river, making downtown a more attractive place to live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1374020211989-8TA86EJKKLTRESF9BCIR/OldvsNew.jpg Globe Trekking - Architecture River Cruise In Chicago The contrast between the early and late 20th century architecture is very obvious in Chicago. Note how the earlier skyscrapers were all about the vertical lines which give them an uplifting sense of place. The late 20th century buildings often have more are horizontal lines that negate the visual verticalness of the structure making it less sky oriented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1374020307805-5G5APLL7NHAHP14JTX49/Modernarchitecture.jpg Globe Trekking - Architecture River Cruise In Chicago Another example of late 20th century minimalist office architecture.

This one is a collection of baskets from the various first nation communities in the area. Others have dolls and masks. Their is a sense of pride at the Centre for the artifacts as part of the people's history and it creates a wonderful sense of place.

The facade of the museum is made of a reflective material that captures the people milling about the front lawn creating fun works of modern art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1366033414926-8QL95UMWSNW1739NKAS8/AnchorageMuseumLawn.jpg Globe Trekking - Anchorage West Coast's Northern Urban Playground This is the front lawn or garden of the Anchorage Museum that creates an inviting entrance and is a clever link between the man-made museum and nature. https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/2013/4/1/frankfurts-accidential-street-art monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364847158626-H2ZNNZ3XBE9EH8DMF63P/Frankfurt+Street+Art+4.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art I call this one the "Stoogies" as it reminds me of the "Three Stoogies." It is a good example of art you can find in the streets of Frankfurt. It is like one larger public art gallery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364847337431-CALIRSG889VQCM57F1X8/Frankfurt+Street+Art+7.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art This one remains untitled. I love the duality of black ominous watercolour lettering, contrasting with innocence of the baby blue lettering. The jogger/boxer at the top of the cliff creates a wonderful tension and a reminder of how insignificant mankind is in the big reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364847579491-RYZTYASAUV1INXCYZYG2/Frankfurt+Street+art+8.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Titled "Mask" this mixed-media work is a reflection of a poster in a window that creates an intriguing layer of images. There is a theatrical quality to this artwork, as if we are all part of performance art piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364851897985-PD9AN2ELW2E1EMI6YXQA/Frankfurt+Street+Art+15.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Titled "Ballet" I can't remember what this poster was advertising, but the juxtaposition of the two bodies one with and one without flesh was haunting. Like all good art their is strong tension between the two antagonists. Also, like all good art it asks a questions - Is beauty truly skin deep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364852091662-DZODBBHJ3BJJDGFK9WBM/Frankfurt+Street+Art+6.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Titled "Staring" this work as an existential element to it that attracted me. There is an emptiness and yet it is not depressing, it is completely devoid of any emotions - that is very hard to do. The viewer is left to fill in their own emotions, ideas and ideologies. Good art to me has an ambiguity that allows for input from the viewer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364852365138-R06UG1N5FIOY3BD284CK/Frankfurt+Street+art+16.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Title "Staircase" is a wonderful example of a mural that interacts with place to create a synergy for the eye and mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364852547498-ONPRW6IPH9U9WJN3S8PC/Frankfurt+Street+Art+3.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Title "Sitting." The Hitler like figure first caught my attention, but my interest was held by the layers of images from the people in the background sitting at their desks to the mechanical ornaments on the left. The central figure looks like he is about to ride a bull in the Calgary Stampede - few others would see that! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364852818280-90GICXP84GEYJI755887/Frankfurt+Street+Art+5.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Title "Dancer." This stencil was applied to walls in various locations around the city centre. I liked the feminine / masculine duality of the image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1364852960537-4FOP436CNY6YHMYAMS8F/Frankfurt+Street+art+9.jpg Globe Trekking - Frankfurt's Found Street Art Title "Loves You."

Cities are about contrasts, I was surprise to find this Lady Di image in Frankfurt, with the black and white torn ghost-like image beside it. This could be call a portrait of innocence. https://everydaytourist.ca/globe-trekking-international-travel/2013/3/11/hostelling-in-your-70s-and-80s monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1363035388159-WRF60SQ1LR6KKHJVGJQP/Hostel+Friends+in+Portland.jpg Globe Trekking - Discovering Hostels in your '70s and '80s That's me in the middle making some new friends at a hostel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1363227314644-ZXCLJAXSG178TNRBVHCQ/image.jpg Globe Trekking - Discovering Hostels in your '70s and '80s Napier Hostel located in an old prison building.

North Americans could never imagine living on a busy urban street with young kids, but in Lyon is was quite common to see kids on the bustling sidewalks. This is the sidewalk ballet Jane Jacobs talked about. I was lucky to happen upon this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1362801655965-AUN8OXNTD9WRUMLQPRLA/IMG_3137.JPG Globe Trekking - Lyon's Sidewalk Ballet I wonder what he is writing about. The streets of Lyon were full of people each with their own charm and character. I could spend hours watching the ballet unfold in front of me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1362802490146-PQ0S9GZN9LTXLITP5EUK/IMG_3125.JPG Globe Trekking - Lyon's Sidewalk Ballet Watch your step? Yes more than once we had to be careful to watch our step. Loved this carousel in the middle of the sidewalk/plaza. It made you feel like everyday life is a carnival?

Also something poetic about the arm gestures of the characters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1362804000799-ARBATT3WPV6FRR977195/IMG_3085+copy.JPG Globe Trekking - Lyon's Sidewalk Ballet This wonderful playground is located in the middle of downtown on one of the plazas. If we want more families to live downtown in North America we must build plazas and pocket parks like this, not ones that have nothing to see or do!

Later, I just happened to be walking by when I realized the artwork was a video on a continuous loop on a huge screen. I was mesmerized. Unfortunately I couldn’t get inside the lobby as the building isn’t open yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/d08b204c-6281-46f7-bc1f-35a425f2d353/IMG_2754.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/2eb1f5ad-328b-4474-b3f4-5c9a37e62e9e/IMG_2766.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/da0f18c8-ef80-4757-ae09-0855e8b9d16d/IMG_2883.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out At the corner of Alberni and Cordero is the Alberni residential tower (see photo below) a very strange, some might say aggressive looking building from a distance. But when you walk by, it has an inviting ramp to magical space that that is in fact the sidewalk to the entrance to the building. From the ceiling hang randomly organized sticks of wood, (actually are metal tubes made to look like wood due to fire restrictions), along with mirror pillars and a moss garden create a sacred place. It is as if you have walked into another world. As far as I can tell it is open to the public as there is no fence and no gate, no signage saying private property. You can make a custom profile picture to capture your visit to unique locations like this one. This adds a personal touch to your social media profiles and makes your memories stand out even more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/13e409a7-a3b2-4591-a0d6-43095fe65969/IMG_2853.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706286195693-GR87FE6CT8L4MN844BHT/IMG_2849.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706286197791-8OPNZNF2GOWWG6ATDO7A/IMG_2877.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706286201294-865HYMN1PPZP8LM1EC5W/IMG_2854.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706286203506-CEAFP7MHI490AZYXH3VY/IMG_2859.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706286205185-BAYGG8HA3TESG2ACUOMR/IMG_2866.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706286211349-KU9WXYVM34JXCTVEK9QG/IMG_2869.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/2c8c1c76-c606-42f1-bab3-56a4a7792f42/IMG_2785.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out On New Year’s Eve we went out for a walk and found this amazing light show on the facade of the Safeway store on Davie Street. The colours danced up and down and across the half block long facade creating an eerie experience that reminded me of the Northern Lights. I loved it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/c4d6edbf-d50b-4265-914b-2abe3c3e18a4/DSC01589.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out While flaneuring Stanley Park we came upon this abandoned site, that turned out to be the old Stanley Park polar bear exhibit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/d01fa0a1-5282-45bb-97a3-92d56af2375a/IMG_2038.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out It has a lovely mid-century modernism design and could be transformed into a mini art park, or maybe a skateboard park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706120816447-2TQM9T23VU70H4WI93K8/IMG_2031.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706120818206-2SUYCXTL5929A6SFDOQN/IMG_2033.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706120820652-K8C097ZS3CSIJ9QRVJ0A/IMG_2036.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706120823096-BHSGL3G9M3OEVT3WVX3F/IMG_2044.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/17b23b7f-399c-4f6f-a2b6-092910328359/Screenshot+2024-01-24+at+10.19.06+AM.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Wandering up South Granville we wandered into Heffel Auction House and on the way out I just happened to look up West 7th Ave as side streets are the best places to find hidden gems.

Turns out it Joe Farard’s “Emily Carr and friends.” What a delightful piece depicting Emily with her monkey Woo and dog Billie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/df4ec8f1-5623-4705-bda5-031490f0f768/Screenshot+2024-01-24+at+10.19.19+AM.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/522772eb-af6c-463a-9533-a9b1ceecf72f/Screenshot+2024-01-24+at+10.19.34+AM.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/56d74943-039a-4985-a733-c93c8177afd8/IMG_1435.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out Found this lovely mid-block passage/plaza way with its concrete relief mural/wall located just off of Burrard at Burnaby.

The majestic Pacific Central station (1919) on Main Street at Terminal Ave is empty most of the time as only a few VIA and Amtrak trains arrive each week.

This time we found a tree had fallen across a green creating a huge divot. The tree trunk had been cut into small chunks some of which were very sculptural. This intriguing sculptural piece (I would have loved to take this home) was placed on a stump, like a pedestal in a museum. There were also some creative flags to mark where the hole is located on the green. Even the birds were creative in the pattern of their holes in a dead tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706287815780-S8XVPKU5TDQUQWYXDTWZ/IMG_2830.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706287818709-9KSL9QIBHMDYRSK68XHK/IMG_2836.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706287820535-8CKBO5U5WV1KRVO1Q5PQ/IMG_2842.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1706287823322-AAB6Q9VNTA39UMRJALLE/IMG_2845.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1ebae81e-66d6-4713-b995-4f954e36a765/IMG_2115.jpg Wandering Canada - 24 Fun Flaneur Finds in Vancouver - Make it stand out At the corner of Lonsdale Ave and 13th St E we encountered a life-size camel - very strange.

We had a touching chat about what was happening in the Ukraine and their experiences in moving to Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/7a789130-5abe-482b-b1a3-41f11fe3824a/IMG_2674.jpg Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver - Make it stand out “Killer Coffee & Pastries” How could we not go in! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/06b4bf7e-29a9-44fe-8ab4-ac3adc9de7ec/A467C53E-A948-4AAC-97DD-88D3988F78EA.JPG Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver - Make it stand out You learn something new everyday! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/122b5918-d02b-4837-bada-b626f01d835a/978A1160-4F9C-44AE-8DE4-9B05440F9D67.JPG Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/76560524-bb6d-4e6b-9881-a4df7f27de0d/A4AEFB76-B0C1-47F7-B31D-B5D43D274D9D.JPG Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1707328277500-UVLZGM9RTKGL9OKO4BRQ/IMG_1661.jpg Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1707328282906-NEWLT0JWG0XG8B7VRQNE/IMG_1667.jpg Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1707494421919-CXWGWMVW5U1WM7VI2PF5/IMG_1655.jpg Wandering Canada - 7 Days of thrifting in Vancouver https://everydaytourist.ca/wandering-canada/best-fall-festivals-in-canada-for-tourists monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/76c31a4f-c8ad-4bd3-82c6-4ae5154da9df/IMG_7744.jpg Wandering Canada - Best fall festivals in Canada for tourists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/408bf270-bf2e-44b1-b728-d52633401511/Screenshot+2024-08-22+at+4.55.55+PM.png Wandering Canada - Best fall festivals in Canada for tourists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://everydaytourist.ca/wandering-canada/canada-agricultural-fairs-farm-tours-amp-stays monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/00f830a0-09f2-476b-accf-01c8e9ce45d6/Screenshot+2024-08-21+at+7.16.48+PM.png Wandering Canada - Canada: Agricultural Fairs, Farm Tours & Stays - Make it stand out Millarvile, Alberta hosts a summer farmers’ market, an annual agricultural fair and horse racing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/09b92b4a-cde4-47d5-9f04-1be75ba98907/KK18-36-7505.jpg Wandering Canada - Canada: Agricultural Fairs, Farm Tours & Stays - Make it stand out Photo credit: Calgary Stampede https://everydaytourist.ca/wandering-canada/2018/11/14/halifax-quinpool-road-is-very-cool monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1542253107513-HMBVXDAFPG9O2NA9E0AI/Screen+Shot+2018-11-14+at+8.27.36+PM.png Wandering Canada - Halifax: Quinpool Road is very cool!

There were like sentinel on the horizon, landmarks for the early pioneers. The grain elevator was the proud architectural icon of the prairies, which was the "bread basket "of the world in the early 20th century. While there was once thousands of elevators dotting the landscape there are only a few left today. A reminder that nothing stays the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1372996319067-F3W7HRPIC45Z1SAWHDDE/Blueabstraction.JPG Wandering Canada - Meeting Creek: Ghost Town Meets Art Town This is close up of the garage door to the industrial building.

It has a musical quality that seemed to ring out visually. There is also a bit of an optical illusion if you stare at it long enough.

One night's performance was taped by a fan, none other than Jimi Hendrix, then stolen, lost for 50 years, found, and released in 2021 on her Archives Vol. 2 set.

I am thinking it for people to line up to get into the Indigenous Peoples Building, but it was all closed off when we wandered by. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/a9726577-5ceb-438c-9cc2-f370650909f3/DSC05628+2+copy.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out I am not sure what enticed us to check to see if we could get inside the historic Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Building, but we are glad we did, as it home to an amazing mosaic mural on the ceiling. From 1927 to February 1976, the Wellington Building served as the head office of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of Ottawa. We visited twice and while the guards were hesitant to let me take photos they both did. They don’t build head offices like this anymore - sadly!

The panel in the lobby states: “Designed and built under the supervision of company architect D. Everett Waid. The building houses one of the most noteworthy mosaics in North America. Modelled after a drawing by U.S. artists Barry Faulkner and crafted by European artisans, the mosaic is mounted on the vaulted ceiling of the foyer. The theme on the allegory depicts the Metropolitan Life as a mother figure personifying life insurance and protecting insured and her employees. Although the Wellington Building now houses the administrative offices of the House of Commons, this artwork is preserved as a symbol, personifying protection agains misfortune and calamity.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/076a21b1-7e3f-42df-b544-32e4a11976bf/IMG_1979+2.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/9c69cdf9-4e7a-4925-913d-09953fc565c6/DSC05623.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/42d555a7-573c-4d2c-b42d-aefa6484fd03/DSC05617.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/32b0eff5-a6d7-441d-9991-a23e16bd0368/DSC05624.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/e810dc3e-e331-4b7a-8c2f-ab5ef7bc3ff0/Screen+Shot+2022-11-10+at+10.11.35+AM.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out Fun Fact: Mosaics are forever.

One of the things Ottawa does well is allowing for the conversion of homes along main streets to be converted into small shops like this one. You don’t see that much in Calgary. It creates a fun pedestrian street experience. Another great example of adding colour to main streets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/2f15b59d-1d50-4b6d-bb46-c3fc55784c74/IMG_2012.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out We couldn’t resist this open door to an upscale thrift store on Preston Street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/30d94bd3-6e62-49b8-91b4-8521d6aba622/IMG_2017.jpg Wandering Canada - Ottawa Fun Flaneur Finds: Joni Mitchell to Dreamland - Make it stand out Inside we found this amazing wall of stuffies.

The site comprises the city block bounded by Second Street, Kootenay Street, Third Street, and Wales Street. it opened in 1913 and is still in use today. The Revelstoke Courthouse is an outstanding example of the Neoclassical Revival style. Buildings of this type are an attempt to emulate Greek and Roman architecture. They generally have a monumental appearance, usually in 'temple' form and feature a pedimented portico, stone finish, columns, pilasters, keystones, and dentils along the elaborate cornice. Finishes both inside and out are highly detailed and of the highest quality. Interiors usually feature tiles or mosaics often set with coats of arms or heraldic symbols, as well as leaded glass.

The roof is punctuated by the tall hose-drying tower built for the original occupant of the eastern section, the Fire Department. There is also heritage value in the International Style design. The style began in Europe at the Bauhaus and spread through North America when European architects fled the war-ravaged continent for new lives in the United States and Canada, bringing their new ideas with them. International Style architects gave new emphasis to the expressions of structure, the lightening of mass, and the enclosure of dynamic spaces. Buildings were characterized chiefly by regular, unadorned geometric forms, open interiors, and the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Architects used modern materials and employed modern technology to create dynamic new forms. Unlike other twentieth century architectural forms, there were no historical precedents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/3ffcbbfc-6e00-4a8a-9a20-2434813a1517/IMG_7481.jpeg Wandering Canada - Revelstoke Postcards: Architecture, Painted Ladies, Cafes, Public Art  - Make it stand out The Mountain View School opened in 1912 and vacated in 2012 due to a consolidation of schools in School District 19.

The CIBC building was per-made in Manitoba and shipped to Gleichen by rail in about 1924. When the bank closed it became the town office in the late 1990s. The library moved into the building in 1998. There are only four existing buildings of this style in Alberta. The first library was in the CPR Station in 1883. It burnt down in 1918. The Library operated out of the local school until 1951 when it was moved to the old town office. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633213951155-BPH65V56HV27MBDR88YB/DSC01372.jpg Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out The Gleichen Water Tower was built in 1911 by Des Moines Bridge and Iron Company of Pittsburg, P.A.

The Gleichen water tower is the oldest and highest in southern Alberta and the only one in the County of Wheatland. The tower, located along the Trans Canada Highway, can be seen for miles in all directions. It is a beacon for travelers who use it to gauge their next stop; Calgary to the west or Brooks to the east. It is recognized as a Provincial Historic Resource. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633148701322-H885NVYXV4CICGKNM7HE/DSC02289.JPG Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out We also drove around town and discovered a few hidden gems, like this church built in 1886.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633148751014-VAV9VGOM0XH88I6UIICB/IMG_1910.jpg Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out We also found this charming heritage home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633148728890-R8UNI4DUKP0573QC5LGU/IMG_1912.jpg Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633148250187-6QCCSCOYIDSDBRWGYBY8/IMG_1891.jpg Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out While at the library we spent some time browsing the two Gleichen History books, that document the town’s rich pioneer history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633148267059-61LLHV4SJ8AVH3NH0O4K/IMG_1890.jpg Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1633148289560-HO5RJQ345XR0DRGZQTER/IMG_1888.jpg Wandering Canada - Slow Travel: Calgary to Siksika, Gleichen Eventually Medicine Hat - Make it stand out I was curious to see if my “Street Art for Gleichen” project was included in the book.

This is the most extensive and complex rock art scene in the park with over 250 characters - 115 warriors, some with bows and or guns, 17 horses, some pulling travois and 44 guns. Unfortunately the visibility of the characters is difficult, depending on the time of day, light conditions and time of the year. It was very hard to see all the characters the day we were there. It is thought The Battle Scene is that of one of the most decisive of Aamsskaapipikani victories, where they defeated a combined war party of Gros Ventre, Crow and Plains Cree who lost more than 300 warriors in 1866. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1631390304491-BM86HNTGGC998I7ADF59/IMG_2335.jpg Wandering Canada - Writing-On-Stone A Sacred Place: Past, Present & Future!

Found this decaying totem pole hidden at the back of the Government House grounds. Turns out it is the original Hosaqami pole left to return to earth. A new pole stands in front of Government House. Backstory: In 1959, the Royal Canadian Navy, as a 50th anniversary event, commissioned artist Chief Mungo Martin to carve a totem pole and gifted it to the Royal Navy in recognition of the enduring relationship between the two navies. The pole, Hosaquami, was displayed on Whale Island in Portsmouth, England until the late 1980s, where it was severely damaged by the weather. It was sent back to Canada to see if it could be restored, but the extent of the damage was too much and Chief Tony Hunt, who assisted his father Henry Hunt and his adoptive grandfather Chief Martin in carving the original, recommended it be returned to the earth and a replacement be carved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1615309867335-K8T30N2OHZD27LSSXAS4/IMG_4818.jpg Wandering Canada - Victoria: Everyday Fun Flaneur Finds! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1615309839877-XQ83R9NZH7CLTYSD1TIJ/IMG_4815.jpg Wandering Canada - Victoria: Everyday Fun Flaneur Finds! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1615307944127-H5PCWYB1LW17W1AVK2EN/IMG_3596.jpg Wandering Canada - Victoria: Everyday Fun Flaneur Finds! On another day I was hanging around Government Street aka downtown Main Street taking some street photos and looked down at the decorative brick sidewalk and found these names. What are the chances?

The Aspen Crossing Railway is a heritage railway in Southern Alberta, southeast of Calgary. In 2002 the last CP train ran through Mossleigh, however, after 6 years of negotiations Jason Thornhill, the creator of Aspen Crossing, was successful in securing the rights to 14 miles of rail line. Today, you can enjoy Champagne Brunch, Dinner Theatre, High Tea or Aies on Rails while riding a vintage train. They even have a Circus Train.

The use of symbolism, surrealism and realism to create contemporary narratives and commentary is very successful. The size of the paintings (approximately 10 ft by 6 ft) make them seem like billboards. I love the ambiguity of the Picasso’s cubist figure in this piece titled “Struggle For Balance,” is she being robbed or helped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1541131426179-S5JU06XY7FQPKRT84E7G/IMG_6224.jpg Wandering Canada - Halifax: Art & Artifacts The Daddies, 2016, 60” x 112”, acrylic on canvas, Kent Monkman is a play on Robert Harris’ famous group portrait of the Fathers of Confederation.

I am not sure if it was the intent of the architects to create what looks like a shipping container balancing precariously on the roof - but that is what it look like to me. I am thinking the “shipping container” motif is appropriate given Halifax is a major port and has thousands of shipping containers stacked up along its waterfront at any given time. The architects for this building were the Danish architecture firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen, with the local office Fowler Bauld & Mitchell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1541016320015-V0P8T0T3ZJN46QY2QNRR/Screen+Shot+2018-10-28+at+8.22.51+PM.png Wandering Canada - Halifax: Art & Artifacts At the opposite end of the architectural spectrum is the minimalist and forboding new athletic centre at Dalhousie University.

It is never quite clear which decoy is chasing the other. Both decoys fall well short of the reality they stand to represent, and yet the spectacle of their wild and persistent action seems to make up for their lack of living breath or the occasional blemish in the stab at authenticity. Situated beneath the looping track is a vibrant landscape formed through the heaping piles of shredded paper. Accents of purple, neon pink, and red pop like wild flowers in what becomes an over-romanticized semblance of nature. The abridged world it creates is fantastical despite the ever-present reality of its modest materiality.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1538418061977-SUB149249RKMWKCV44RE/Screen+Shot+2018-10-01+at+10.20.26+AM.png Wandering Canada - Hamilton: SuperCrawl is Super Fun Most people I overheard talking about it saw it as a hodgepodge of junk thrown together, that seemed to have no focus.

What can be done about it? Through the production of art as an instrument for change — a pillar beacon with a suggestion box-style cavity for gathering written submissions from the public — the project strives to be emblematic, participatory, and supportive. Most people just ignored it…there were volunteers there sometimes to engage pedestrians to submit a ballot indicating “what is their emergency?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1538418138555-T0S5NX5CNAJHS4J1724D/Screen+Shot+2018-10-01+at+10.17.43+AM.png Wandering Canada - Hamilton: SuperCrawl is Super Fun Bystanders by Megan Press was assembly of three temporary fixed sculptures made out of everyday materials strapped together. “Bystanders entice audiences to contemplate the familiarity of their identity and configuration as substitutes for human form, architectural structures and discrete objects” says the artist’s statement. They looked like a smash-up of random materials to me. Most of the time people just walked by and didn’t engage with the work. But did find this impromptu moment, not sure if the young women is responding to the art or to her friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1538423654303-1VV85GEZQ5NFY48S32KH/Screen+Shot+2018-10-01+at+10.13.59+AM.png Wandering Canada - Hamilton: SuperCrawl is Super Fun Members of Flagship Gallery (237 James St. N., Hamilton) offer a visual meditation the theme of "rest” in A Place of Rest.

"Art imitates life" or is it the other way around. I love how these girls were inspired to climb and play with this piece by Saskatchewan artist William Epp titled "Tribute to Youth" created in 1989. Public art should engage the public. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530058139364-N1NFLQJBEOSRYKSUTG64/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.24.43+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies? I was gobsmacked by this nine storey tall mural on the side of the First Nations Bank building in downtown Saskatoon. The mural was painted by Saskatchewan artist Emmanuel Jarus. I loved the tenderness that is depicted in such a large work. While the child is obviously of indigenous descent, the parents are more ambiguous which allows for different interpretations. Is it about new beginnings? Is it about the importance of family? Is is about love? Is it about dependence? Is it a contemporary interpretation of the "mother and child" image that has been part of painting history for centuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530058181150-7WG7HJIVOLYXTVA7QVMV/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.23.34+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies? I think it is also very fitting that the piece is on the side of the First Nations Bank building given its First Nation references. The red ribbon in the mother's hair is meant to commemorate missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls. Note: The piece is part of the City of Saskatoon's Placemaker program for public art. It cost $15,000. Yes this is a real family from the Yellow Quill First Nation, 195 km east of Saskatoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530058586694-YYSZ5EPSWOW0WSBDA0WC/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.27.19+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies? The City Centre Church mural in Riversdale also captured my attention. Too often street art is more decorative with little in the way of an artist's statement. In this case the imagery is very hard hitting, with references to the struggles of justice, alcohol and religion faced by indigenous people past and present. There is a very strong presence in Saskatoon of indigenous people are using contemporary art genres to express their plight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530058536107-1KYGHRTH3ICQEF9PXHJD/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.27.37+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies?

The impact of this mural is amplified by the fact the Ukrainian Orthodox Holy Trinity Cathedral is located across the street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530058226991-URJ5H25MX7OSWEDLOVJY/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.25.13+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies? "Unfurled" is locate in the middle of an intersection, not exactly the best site for the public to view the artwork. I had to dodge a few cars to get to the base of the piece where the information panel is located. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530058305137-TYHQV45DOL6PKYJNREH4/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.25.44+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies?

Move just a few feet and it looks like scissors and thread.

Hidden away on the edge of the University of Saskatchewan campus is an artpark. Head to the Diefenbaker Centre (FYI the Centre's facade is in poor shape, and the plants next to his grave are all dead - shame on whoever is responsible) and then go towards the river and you will find an unmarked art park near the pathway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530062122486-DJGEFPCVT30FPFM87L52/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+12.19.49+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies?

Most of the art in UofS's sculpture park has no didactic information i.e. name of artist, title, date etc. It looks like anyone can just install their art here. While the grass has been cut, some whipper snippering around at the base of the pieces is badly needed. Turns out it is called the U of S sculpture garden and it was founded in 1993 as part of a sculpture symposium. It could also use some curatorial direction as some of the pieces look pretty amateurish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530071294701-YZOW2UH0OJ3MYTGNFQUQ/Screen+Shot+2018-06-26+at+9.46.41+PM.png Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies? The University of Saskatchewan campus has public art scattered throughout the campus, however much of it has no information on who is the artist, title of the work or date. I later figured out this piece is by Eli Bornstein a famous local artist who has a studio on the banks of the Saskatchewan River just south of the city. The piece is located in front of the Synchroton Research building that studies sources of brilliant light. I thought it was by Ron Kostyniuk who was born in the small community of Wakaw, Saskatchewan, in 1941. He studied at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon and later became an art professor at the University of Calgary where I met him when I was working at the Muttart Art Gallery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530062218169-KQ30TZOVZS9RN7RJOG5U/IMG_1514.jpg Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies?

When I first saw this I thought it was public art that referenced the animal traps of the fur traders who were responsible for the early exploration and settlement of the area. I also liked historical text.

I found about six MOTA pieces in the alleys and side streets of Riversdale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1530062346421-JS7NRSFJB3CW4W82DGAS/IMG_1508.jpg Wandering Canada - Postcards From Saskatoon: Public Art Capital of the Prairies?

You can also book over night stays in a teepee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502555328293-B7C0V8HBO8SBM69VY7WJ/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502555365183-UYTNISMPY5TXDX25LR98/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502555688961-U606UVAK726G7OFZ3VM8/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502557197975-YOOR97YCSE4GLTO7L8J8/image-asset.jpeg Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502557139207-F9WKOI7SWYPTAWD6V46B/image-asset.jpeg Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502557168054-3XJWQR0F6ODFA7SGE4O2/image-asset.jpeg Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502555807281-SI2BL5RRF1L88US1KYZA/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502555573853-S1RF9I9ZZ6500REUDV7S/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502556960589-0VDV8FCM0K1QJ187N23D/image-asset.jpeg Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502556785999-JE2EY60Y6ZMRYTGYPZ6Q/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502555749562-BGSPAWIPHD8HEKA4RD4N/image-asset.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502556991359-M2WFNZH2YO44QS9UYW2X/image-asset.jpeg Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502556979093-SUZ1L9XFKV3XEHW7PKZ1/image-asset.jpeg Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1502556179173-MHK0E5H7O5GOKJI4RS21/Screen+Shot+2017-08-11+at+9.40.12+PM.png Wandering Canada - Alberta Road Trip: Goin' To The Hat!

Park Ace of Wands (2014) by Ken Macklin, welded steel. Ace of Wands is a highly visual work, inviting the viewer to discover complex, intriguing relationships within its structure. The curvy, or rhythmic section is interdependent upon the more angular structural element upon which it leans. The artist evokes imagery found in the mirror arcana of the Tarot. Aces signify beginnings: wands animation and enterprise. The inspiration and sculpture represent an artistic departure for the artist for the artist in the use of repetitive curves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1407443224451-HZF0ZZUB1Z3XNOOZRLO1/IMG_4339.jpg Wandering Canada - Edmonton: Borden (art?) Park Gaekwar of Baroda (1999) by Peter Hide, mild steel. Gaekwar of Baroda is particularly inspired by the Indian sandstone reliefs of the Bordon Collection housed at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. Sculptor Peter Hide states, "I was attracted by the voluptuous curves of the human body played off against the massiveness and rigidity of architectural forms. I wanted to try and bring some of these qualities into steel sculpture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1407443498028-F7UC29TJ16KJ81FVVA9J/IMG_4354.JPG Wandering Canada - Edmonton: Borden (art?) Park Wither and Tome (1993) by Clay Ellis, welded steel. Wither and Tome is one of a series of pieces produced by artist Clay Ellis in the early 1990s. It is made of mild steel with a coating produced through a simple oxidation process. Before embarking on the series, the artist traveled, within an 11-month period to Scotland, northern China, New York City, and led a workshop in Botswana. Ellis states that although he gathered many impressions in his travels, "...it was the time spent working in a remote village, on the border of the Kalahari...that shaped the work from this period. Starting a sculpture from a place where only the landscape is monumental seemed right...and familiar." https://everydaytourist.ca/wandering-canada/2014/2/10/calgary-vs-winnipeg-as-urban-hot-spots-part-2 monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1392068898519-K8QZC2MHMD2R7X2DN9EX/Exchange+District Wandering Canada - Calgary vs Winnipeg as Urban Hot Spots (Part 2) Winnipeg's Exchange District has some of the best late 19th and early 20th century buildings in North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1392245224697-P9CH1CXIZ6THB6J549T9/StephenAvenue Wandering Canada - Calgary vs Winnipeg as Urban Hot Spots (Part 2) Calgary's Stephen Avenue is a National Historic District and one of North America's best restaurant rows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1392245697114-L4KEJ8B4279AGHU6XB65/Buhler+Centre Wandering Canada - Calgary vs Winnipeg as Urban Hot Spots (Part 2) The Buhler Centre is just one of many new University of Winnipeg campus buildings that is changing the face of downtown Winnipeg.

There wasn't much of a line up on the Saturday afternoon we were at Tonallis. Too bad! The Voodoo patrons could probably paid for the taxi to get to Tonallis with the money they would save and it would have taken less time than waiting in line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370813164768-B3LY30LL3AMQZ5BP89Q8/Tonallis+Doughnuts+and+Cream.jpg Wandering Canada - Tale of Two Donuts or should I say Doughnuts!

It could see the relocation of the Family of Man sculptures from the east side of downtown the west. This would be an interesting move as both the sculpture and planetarium were conceived as part of Canada’s 1967 Centennial celebrations.

Unfortunately with the smaller yard and underground utilities there is no room for trees to grow big and create the an arching canopy over the road that most North Americans associate with being the ideal residential streetscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/88941abe-1250-4c84-9a21-b97d97d92eff/05DC3030-3CAD-4398-923F-2C1D912081A9-COLLAGE.jpg City Planning 101 - They are tearing up paradise and putting up too many houses - Make it stand out In Calgary’s inner-city neighbourhoods,100s of mid-century bungalows with huge trees on them are being torn down each year and replaced with townhomes with secondary suites in the basement creating more density - people and cars.

It is one of the few residential buildings in the Kensington area that dates to the pre-WW 1 era. Ironically, they look a lot like the new corner conversion row houses currently being built in inner city communities across the city in scale and form.

The idea was discussed but it was determined the costs were too high. However, space for an underground station under the Municipal Building was created as future LRT plans included an underground LRT in the downtown. Fast forward 40 years and the idea of tunnelling underground for a new LRT route linking the north and southeast communities with downtown resulted in huge debate that eventually lead to the Province taking over the project from the City. The City wanted to go underground the Province at grade or elevated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/ded35b82-aa5e-4b48-8f65-44530b101b95/62EC1223-A18D-49FC-BE7A-9254C19D6869.JPG City Planning 101 - A guide to Calgary's LRT debates - Make it stand out The NW leg of the LRT through Sunnyside was delayed due to the protest of neighbours.

However, it also means long walks for residents - often in harsh exposed outdoor conditions in the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/b57b18ad-4ea4-47ce-ab0a-990025ad5740/DC282DE6-918B-4A4F-956C-14DAFE299187.JPG City Planning 101 - A guide to Calgary's LRT debates - Make it stand out The Westbrook Station sit in the middle of an empty field that was suppose to be developed as an urban village. The City built a branch library, sold the land to a developer but noting happened, It is ideally located next to mall with a Safeway and Walmart.

When visiting Denver in 2014, I enjoyed this exhibition titled “Scrounge” in the lobby of Republic Plaza a 56 storey tower that features art exhibitions that change on a quarterly basis. Could be a great partnership with one of Calgary’s visual arts groups - Glenbow, Alberta University of the Arts, Alberta Society of Artists or even a commercial gallery. Another potential way to animate an office lobby would be convert it into an intimate live music venue, with noon hour and after work concerts. Or perhaps, create a small cinema with rotating indie videos, movies etc. Transformlng Calgary’s downtown will require lots of innovative thinking and risk-taking. It will require a paradigm shift in urban design and lots of experimentation. https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/tale-of-two-contemporary-condos-dominion-vs-cy33 monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/34369e15-2ace-4a2c-9b4c-9dd246a1c656/IMG_8092.jpg City Planning 101 - Tale Of Two Contemporary Condos: Dominion vs CY33 - Make it stand out Domion’s first of two sister towers, that are not quite identical, have great views of downtown, are steps from the Bridgeland-Riverside LRT station and Murdoch Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/5b0f71fa-a936-4c1b-ac11-a69277ca5e47/IMG_3444.jpg City Planning 101 - Tale Of Two Contemporary Condos: Dominion vs CY33 - Make it stand out What Dominion looks like today?

The new arena and BMO centre which are side-by-side have been designed to create a major event and entertainment district based on 21st century urban planning theory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1619974133049-TDJDWHP4P7DZOGDBR323/B822140728Z.1_20151006222900_000_GKH1ID7AV.4_Gallery.jpg City Planning 101 - In theory new arena could be a catalyst for Stampede Park Transformation Hamilton’s downtown arena was built in 1985 as part of a huge downtown revitalization plan that included a major new indoor shopping mall, a new library, a new home for one of Canada’s oldest farmers’ markets, new theatre complex, new convention centre and a new art gallery. All the elements that in urban planning theory make for a vibrant downtown. Yes, it checked off most of the boxes that in urban planning theory should have create an attractive “Sports, Hospitality, Entertainment District.” 35+ years the downtown arena and the entire downtown is still struggling to become an attractive people place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1619974914277-L8RM6484RL4W0C2JEK43/MTS-Centre.jpg City Planning 101 - In theory new arena could be a catalyst for Stampede Park Transformation Winnipeg’s Bell/MTS Place is located right on the city’s historic main street - Portage Avenue. You don’t get more downtown than this. Like Hamilton, the arena is situated near a major indoor shopping mall nearby, a newly expanded convention centre, a major public art gallery and yet the shops along Portage Avenue struggled, even before COVID. Recently, the historic Hudson’s Bay department store just a few blocks away shuttered. Like Calgary, Winnipeg struggles to foster the redevelopment of numerous City Centre neighbourhoods - downtown core, historic Exchange District, The Forks and Osborne Village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1619975930354-UH2QNYNN6C72UMD1G8O9/Screen+Shot+2021-05-02+at+11.18.22+AM.png City Planning 101 - In theory new arena could be a catalyst for Stampede Park Transformation Stampede Park Transformation Vision.

Evolution of duplex homes in Calgary from middle of 20th century to today. The term “duplex” use to have negative connotations, but today they are they are often referred to as “side-by-sides,” i.e. two single-family homes next to each other. There are very desirable infill homes in established communities as they allow a bigger home on the same size lot. Yes, it is all about a bigger home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1618624308602-S28FZ6HJ5JG7F5EYPTIP/Screen+Shot+2021-03-13+at+9.28.42+AM.png City Planning 101 - Calgarians love their single family homes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1618624184677-6F986HMF6RQQHHD57KSK/IMG_7314.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgarians love their single family homes.

And, this is true for all North American cities. However recently, City Centre parkades and parking lots across North America are becoming parks or new residential developments. And roads are becoming more multi-modal (bike lanes) and in some cases patios. Today, City planners and developers across North America are focused on how to make their City Centre a more attractive place to live. https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/embracing-winter-calgary-vs-scandinavians-citiesnbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1605370900986-KUEE3E639JKEZVUZPQRJ/IMG_2690.jpeg City Planning 101 - Embracing Winter: Calgary vs Northern European Cities  Stephen Avenue Walk pedestrian mall Saturday Oct 10th mid afternoon, beautiful weather.

Since 2010, Calgary’s East Village population has grown from 2,634 to 3,893 (in 2019). It is projected to be 12,000 by 2030. The populations have not only increased but they have diversified. Yes, urban renewal can work!

Some people actually see me as a big thinker. I accept all of these observations as they are all true depending on the situation. Note: My mantra for the past 25+ years has been “linking vision with reality!” With that comes being a cheerleader, pessimist, optimist, pragmatist, contrarian and out-of-the-box thinker. I agree with Ruben’s observations and have accepted his challenge to look critically at Calgary’s situation and identify the fatal weaknesses to Calgary’s future health and wellbeing – economically and socially. But I will also be looking for the opportunities and how we can capitalize on them. My glass will always be 80% full!

While “The Hub” will probably never become a Calgary architectural icon, it is good that it challenges the way we see life in organized patterns and get trapped in our comfortable norms. https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/calgary-good-news-prolific-urban-infill-developments monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1594265399490-T1E57AK3J3OIEUSLZRBQ/IMG_4967.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary Good News: Prolific Urban Infill Developments Almost every inner-city community in Calgary has a dozen or more of infill projects like these ones at any given time.

While several of Calgary’s major new infill projects have been controversial, most have been welcomed by neighbours and the community at large. Jane Jacobs, author of the 1960 book “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” was a huge fan of mixing the old with the new as a means of enhancing community vitality. She wrote “When a city can carry on a love affair with its old and its new at once, it has terrific vitality.” https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/calgary-vs-vancouver-does-the-urban-magnet-theory-worknbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1591544892438-HFTWD4SKC99QRJGDD7WZ/DSC09334.jpg City Planning 101 -

Calgary In Crisis: Rethink Our Future! For the past 50+ years Calgary has benefitted from a robust downtown as one of North America’s largest concentrations of office buildings and corporate headquarters. However the future of its downtown as the city’s economic engine is uncertain at best with 25% of the office space sitting vacant.

The Arnold Churgin store on downtown’s Stephen Avenue Walk was its flagship store for decades. It has sat empty now for several years.

My mantra is “linking vision with reality.” The reality is Caglary, Alberta and Canada can’t afford to spend on mega projects as if nothing has happened. https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/rs8d4t6yw5jftwk3atshjc87yze4lm monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1589251104561-DF0IBV27SCSM1M65NXFH/PDX+midrise+collage+.jpg City Planning 101 -

Last Word Over the last 40+ years, the modern family home has evolved from a single storey house, with one car and one bathroom, supported by one income, to a two-storey house, with two cars, two incomes, large kitchens and multiple bathrooms. Fortunately for Calgary, our inner city communities have been evolving with the times. What is next? Perhaps more Lane homes? More niche small scale condo developments? Stay tuned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1586185973788-ACSVKUO110DVN9022PV7/IMG_3339.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary: The Evolution of Infill Housing An example of a Lane House in Calgary’s West Hillhurst community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1586536598826-W31OK3O7JBCSVR3KRJW1/Home+of+the+Day.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary: The Evolution of Infill Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1586536503351-IUQK0Q8RXZDW1CP2GTJU/Front+of+House.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary: The Evolution of Infill Housing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585781158477-H3Z3BL11IBH8ENT8YZVG/IMG_8180.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary: The Evolution of Infill Housing https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/2020/3/23/does-calgary-need-to-be-more-like-austin-or-nashville monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585002111217-Y49745Z1CGIJTUOPAZG1/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.09.26+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585002123180-8H6A0YLGYJ12PPZ31HDJ/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.04.25+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585001895631-ZBV505EZOTSEF9XJDWAE/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.10.11+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585001897782-DD8IS2ERKX5X3ZWQS9KP/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.10.19+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585002235781-LKVJRQ0CWU3IRZA5EY32/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.09.42+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585002238574-0DH3YD01VVMWQA2QLRYA/Screen+Shot+2020-03-22+at+9.06.00+AM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585003353211-5WDT0W7HBOXWDKGE64MY/Screen+Shot+2019-05-18+at+9.22.11+AM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585003361317-SWS6OBEOR0CB7251DLK3/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+3.52.30+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585003368916-VHNQUPSKL2RBL3NVRR1Z/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.04.57+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585003595654-9R6UT87MYW0U8OFTYRUZ/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.46.11+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585001685933-L2RVG2HQNLFMN5SQA5D1/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+3.52.57+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585001691340-F4ETI29OANLZMPSWHUZI/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+3.52.44+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585003775345-NPQCIMAGLKRQN0FNDETC/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.49.08+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585002572955-CS73Z5J95HDGAC3WIWQL/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.26.40+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585003221233-3HJKO25KWJW5AXBEMS6C/IMG_4292.jpg City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585004251143-SPRV414MAGKU2V7T79ZK/Screen+Shot+2020-03-23+at+4.56.37+PM.png City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1585000464537-VDLAUSEHPNAD5G1YQXW7/bg-light-green.jpg City Planning 101 - Does Calgary need to be more like Austin or Nashville? - Last Word Perhaps Calgary City planners need to focus more on how we can make living, working and playing in the NE cool, rather than always focusing on the City Centre?

Marda Loop is more like a downtown, than a traditional linear main street, as it has numerous shops, services and offices surrounded by three residential neighbourhoods – Garrison Woods, Altadore, Richmond, Knob Hill and South Calgary. While 33rd Ave SW is its main street, there are several other clusters of shops - Garrison Corner, The Plaza 34, Cottage Village (several colourful cottage houses along 34th Ave with small businesses), as well as off-the-beaten path shops along 18th St SW from 34th to 36th Ave including the Marda Loop Brewing Company. Marda Loop, with its mostly local businesses and shops scattered on different streets and avenues, has the feel of a Jane Jacobs’ village i.e. lots of independent shopkeepers, both old and new. Case in point - there is everything from the Professional Skate Goalie Centre store to the new Distilled Beauty Bar & Social House (coffee shop/bar/pedicure stations/massage rooms/hair salon/event space). And, let’s not forget, Marda Loop is home to the original “Original Joe’s.” The late Jane Jacobs, a 1960s advocate for creating active streets and vibrant older , once said a healthy neighbourhood is one with a third of its buildings and businesses new, a third 10 to 20 years old and a third over 20 years old. Marda Loop fits that profile nicely.

However, I don’t think there is the political or fiscal will to create another CRL given the current economic climate, nor to address the creosote contamination and the current heavy use of Bow Trail for vehicle movement. East Village didn’t have these constraints, which must be resolved before West Village redevelopment can happen.” Ollenberger added, “Some people may lament West Village isn’t being as actively pursued as the Rivers District, but I think that is smart for our city. We need to let East Village and East Victoria Park play out. West Village will be there when we need it, and we will need it someday. But not today.” Note: An edited version of this blog was published by CBC Calgary as part of its The Road Ahead online feature on Saturday January 18, 2020. .

Calgarians also enjoy some of the shortest compute times in North America and recently was ranked the best city in the world to drive. Yes, I know that is hard to believe when you are sitting in traffic on Deerfoot, Glenmore or Crowchild Trails Calgary is consistently ranked as one of the best places in the world to live. It is in part due to Calgary’s unicity model of governance that integrates planning, services, programs and taxes in one large city, rather than duplicating and fragmenting them across several cities, towns and villages. Yes, the unicity model has its disadvantages as it creates a political monopoly. But overall, it has served Calgary well over the past 50 years. https://everydaytourist.ca/city-planning-101/2019/12/23/it-takes-a-lot-of-different-villages-to-create-a-healthy-citynbsp monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1578246486733-WA47833ZGKFWDOTGCM1Y/Screen+Shot+2020-01-04+at+10.08.07+PM.png City Planning 101 - It takes a lot of different villages to create a healthy city.  The Child Development Centre is located on the University of Calgary campus and is home to numerous not-for-profit organizations helping children and their families, like the Sinneave Family’s 17,000 sf Ability Hub for families dealing with Autism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1578246167308-USO8CWRHG0R95FERHBYY/Screen+Shot+2020-01-05+at+10.28.55+AM.png City Planning 101 - It takes a lot of different villages to create a healthy city.  Calgary is also home to numerous affordable seniors facilities like this one located next to the Bow River in West Hillhurst. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1578327280731-EE2CDDWIUNTHWZ6UKYZ3/Screen+Shot+2020-01-05+at+10.16.09+AM.png City Planning 101 - It takes a lot of different villages to create a healthy city.  Calgary is also home to an upscale urban resort living village aka Westman Village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1578674142762-VGEJ5KAPP5NIX30U6FBJ/Screen+Shot+2020-01-05+at+10.15.49+AM.png City Planning 101 - It takes a lot of different villages to create a healthy city.  Calgary is home to several man-made lake communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1578674802717-V4T9PS75M95IL9238PIL/Screen+Shot+2020-01-06+at+9.08.58+AM.png City Planning 101 - It takes a lot of different villages to create a healthy city.  Calgary’s Central Library attracts over one million visitors a year from across the city.

It is still home to local Militia Units, chiefly The King's Own Calgary Regiment (RCAC) and The Calgary Highlanders, but also 15 (Edmonton) Field Ambulance Detachment Calgary, the 41 Canadian Brigade Group Influence Activities Company (attached to The King's Own Calgary Regiment (RCAC)) and various cadet organizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568947235467-F4B2YZ4LCD5UVYI48O55/thumb_DSC02290_1024.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America! Soon, we you’ll arrive at the historic Louise Bridge built in 1921 and named after Louise Cushing, the daughter of William Henry Cushing, Calgary’s Mayor from 1900 to 1901 (yes, just one year). Under the bridge is The Wave, where the Bow River current creates a natural wave perfect for river surfing. The Alberta River Surfing Association is working with Calgary-based Surf Anywhere to develop the area a world class river surfing park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568947480603-C4VYNZIJBVYTRMMT1DJD/Screen+Shot+2019-09-17+at+9.02.58+PM.png City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America! A bit further and you are at new West Eau Claire Park at the south entrance to the iconic Peace Bridge designed (the latter by world renowned bridge designer Santiago Calatrava). The $10.6 million park (30% of the budget was used for flood mitigation) designed by Calgary’s O2 Planning + Design is meant to simulate a river delta with cyclist, runners, walkers and now e-scooters being the “water” flowing off the Peace River onto the Bow River pathway using different streams. The park also contains a subtle public artwork was created by Calgary-based artists Caitlind R.C Brown and Wayne Garrett who installed 12,000 brass “survey monuments” i.e. loonie sized brass coins throughout the delta each have simple messages collected by asking Calgarians along the pathway “where they are going or where they want to be?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568946992703-G0RHYTNWHHA3EU2AFM40/Screen+Shot+2019-09-17+at+8.56.10+PM.png City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America! You’ll also find here a new pebble beach with lovely lounge chairs to sit and watch the river flow by. It truly is a special place and a good example of how sophisticated Calgary’s urban design has become in the 21st century. The beach offers the perfect view of the Peace Bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568947020119-DPOX3UVBC0EA0A76C3Z8/Screen+Shot+2019-09-17+at+9.03.35+PM.png City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

But time to move on – and only a few strides away from the formal entrance to Prince’s Island and Eau Claire Plaza. Prince’s Island Park is named after Peter Prince who, in 1886, built the Eau Claire Lumber Mill at this site. He dug a channel in the river to bring the logs from the Bow River to the mill. The channel is now the Prince’s Island lagoon and it was instrumental in converting what was once a migrating gravel bar to more permanent island, resulting in the creation of the park. The City purchased the land from the Prince family in 1947 for a park. The Park hosts many festivals not the least of which is Calgary’s International Folk Festival. As well you’ll discover the Chevron Learning Pathway, a small sculpture park and one of Calgary’s oldest and best restaurants - River Café.

Just a few steps eastward and you encounter a large propeller-like artifact the middle of the pathway. Indeed it is a propeller from a nameless arctic ship. The plaque explains that the propeller which served many years in the Arctic was donated to the City of Calgary by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) in 1993 to commemorate the fact that Arctic section of SNAME, was started in Calgary in 1980 to support arctic oil and gas exploration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568950419660-C8DARZ0JG702Q9KCNJQ0/Screen+Shot+2019-09-19+at+9.03.18+PM.png City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

Next stop - Sien Lok Park on the northern edge of Chinatown. This park, created in 1982 is Chinatown’s only green space. The cone-shaped sculpture in the middle of it, titled “In Search of Gold Mountain,” was sculpted by Chu Honsun using 15 tonnes of granite from Hopei Province in China. The park has several other interesting artworks and two majestic Chinese Lions. The park is very popular with the Canadian Geese, so be careful where you walk or sit! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1568947595229-JU4I0PDUZIE8AL350TS4/DSC02195.JPG City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

However we are heading east, but not before checking out “The Wolfe and Sparrows” sculpture by Brandon Vickerd, a piece inspired by the 1898 statue of General James Wolfe sculpture by John Massey in Calgary’s Mount Royal community. From a distance, it looks like a typical realistic figurative bronze figure, but get up close to see \ the top of the sculpture is actually a flock of sparrows. The piece was conceived based on many conversations with community members who wanted something historical, yet contemporary. (Ironically General Wolfe never visited Calgary and his fame as the victorious British general in the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City in 1759 has nothing to do with Calgary. In 1759, the confluence of the Bow and Elbow River was a temporary summer meeting place for local First Nations.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1569115274878-1WRMTA7AGG8K35HMRFI3/IMG_2303.jpg City Planning 101 - Calgary's SoBow Trail: One Of The Best River Banks In North America!

It is a new “Entertainment District.” It is essentially a new arena (event centre) and expanded BMO Centre with a Main Street along Olympic Way from 10th to 17th Ave SW). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1552178062879-2NDD30A4JGQGZMWE37WF/Screen+Shot+2019-02-11+at+11.24.48+AM.png City Planning 101 - Shouldn't we finish East Village before starting the Stampede makeover?

To make the Community Revitalization Levy work for the revitalization of Victoria Park and Stampede Park requires a lot of new towers to be built by 2047. A couple will be hotels with some office but the vast majority will be residential with some commercial at street level.

As shown on Figure 1, in 2015 Base service is provided to about 60.4% of Calgary residences and 62.7% of jobs (business addresses). Areas that do not receive a Base level of service contain about 229,000 residents (18% of city population) and 158,000 jobs (18% of Calgary’s total employment) primarily in the developed communities in the northwest, west, southwest and southeast areas where base service levels are not provided. Areas with no transit service tend to be located in the newer areas in the north, northeast, southeast, particularly developing employment areas plus pockets scattered throughout the developed area of city.

Winnipeg's warming huts for skaters along the river are a great idea that could easily be adapted to other cities for pathways and parks. The warming huts were not even mentioned at the Forum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1479932070920-PE923NQ6P8D8UNERVUS9/%2B15+pedestrian+bridge+Calgary City Planning 101 - Are We Winter Wusses? Calgary's +15 walkway allows downtown workers to explore downtown without having to put on their coats and also without having to negotiate slippery streets and cars. Planners don't like them as they say they destroy the street vitality. Public loves them. My observation is that public uses them when climate is harsh but once the weather is nice (winter or summer) people would rather be outside. It is the best of both worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1479880573003-WHGLI2GBN6HM6XC74GGL/image-asset.png City Planning 101 - Are We Winter Wusses?

Instead of expensive festivals with fixed dates, why not develop impromptu winter festivals when the snow allows for it. What about a snowman making weekend? This was on Oct 9th 2016, the early snow was perfect for snowman making and creating a maze the kids loved making and walking through. DIY and KISS should be part of any winter design and programming plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1479930847165-7Q52Z9RM4VJQ0S4ZQ1AE/image-asset.png City Planning 101 - Are We Winter Wusses? The new park in Bridgeland is great as it is a safe family toboggan hill with nearby amenities like cafes. Perhaps a toboggan festival would be fun? Something simple as everyone going to their local hill and posting photos. How can we create more hills in our local playgrounds - they don't all have to be huge? They are great for rolling, running and cycling down in the summer too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1479880766396-370NB14ULBSW9UJTRMQN/image-asset.jpeg City Planning 101 - Are We Winter Wusses?

This DIY outdoor rink is being used by two figure skaters, as well as a mom and her son playing hockey and several people watching. Too bad City of Calgary limits the number of people who get access to fire hydrants for flooding the rink in any one community. Why can't there be as many ice rinks as there is demand? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1479879747974-WUTMKJESVA4JABP4G8ZR/image-asset.jpeg City Planning 101 - Are We Winter Wusses?

Outflow is the title of the concrete artwork by Brian Tolle which is an inverted replica of Mount PeeChee, the third highest peak in the Fairholme Range just north of Canmore in the Bow River watershed. It is linked to the storm water sewer that empties into the Bow River at this site via an outfall, so when the water travels through the sculpture It is suppose to serve as a reminder of the origins of the Bow River and how it has shaped our city. Unfortunately, most of the time there is no water so it looks like a strange and intriguing concrete vessel that seems to capture peoples' interest for a quick glance and then move on. My biggest objection is that it blocks my view of the river. This photo is taken sitting on one of the benches and you can't look up the Bow River to downtown. In my opinion the piece is too intrusive on what was a lovely spot to enjoy the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1462332424938-Y3XK7TW2GT1ULJWS5CKT/Bench+on+Bow+River%2C+Calgary City Planning 101 - Does Calgary's City Centre have too many parks, plazas and promenades?

Unfortunately this doesn't include the urban communities on the north side of the river. In some documents all of the communities south of the Downtown are referred to as the Beltline. It is all very confusing to the public. Hopefully this will be corrected in the near future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388645459825-IY23KVCQFFXA19BXPUI9/DowntownWestLRTStationJPG City Planning 101 - The importance of the public realm One of the biggest improvements in the Downtown over the past few years has been the redesign of the LRT stations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388645625956-0U5XAKEMJ2RJ5GEK1JQA/PopUPpatios.JPG City Planning 101 - The importance of the public realm Look for more "pop-up" patios that use street parking spots to allow for the addition of a summer patio on a narrow sidewalk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388645878621-D7QGI6C1S4HYS0PATLK6/Artwork+in+middle+of+sidewalk+.jpg City Planning 101 - The importance of the public realm Great sidewalks don't have artworks in the middle of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388646267369-0BGU11MBU4ABKJVRUR0Q/MemorialPark.JPG City Planning 101 - The importance of the public realm Memorial Park is a great example of an urban park that has be redesigned to encourage the public to sit and linger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1388646540985-VM3W2HB68X84EVJ4GIZJ/Playground.JPG City Planning 101 - The importance of the public realm Downtown should also be a place for kids and families like this playground in the Haultain Park.

At the end of the presentation all of the members of the three design teams were invited up to the stage for questions. This is just half of the brain power that was applied to identifying ways to best develop the raw land that will become Rangeview. I couldn't help but notice it was all male and all middle-age to older.

Wouldn't it be great if Rangeview could have several of these one block angled parking Main Streets that we so popular in the early 20th century in small towns across the prairies.

I love this photo as it reminded me for some reason of surrealist artist Rene Magritte’s cloud paintings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/f8d3f371-d4b9-4ef9-ad37-27cd3f696f74/IMG_0375.jpg Street Views - Everyday Tourist's 2024 Best Flaneur Finds - Make it stand out Love this video art wall next to the 1st Street LRT Station in downtown Calgary. You never know what art you will find and it keeps changing. What I find most intriguing is the fact that people walking by or waiting at the station seem to ignore it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/a4dd4187-cfbd-4360-a9e7-ee595dacfa35/IMG_7267.jpg Street Views - Everyday Tourist's 2024 Best Flaneur Finds - Make it stand out Another fun flaneur find was this sign at the entrance to the parking garage in downtown Palm Springs. Not sure I have ever seen "Free Unlimited Parking” before. Makes you want to stay all day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/fdabf7aa-70b6-47c7-b708-e14507bc2a6e/IMG_2789.jpg Street Views - Everyday Tourist's 2024 Best Flaneur Finds - Make it stand out New Year’s Eve in Vancouver.

From Quebec separation to the decline of the Montreal Canadians, from his childhood growing up in Montreal, to Canadian Prime Ministers. In many ways, our world hasn’t changed as much as we think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/a71054e8-4694-41c1-80a1-b91ba4161fe8/IMG_8318.jpg Street Views - Everyday Tourist's 2024 Best Flaneur Finds - Make it stand out Found these two travel books by Marcello Di Cintio, a Calgary author in different Little Free Libraries months apart. The books are fascinating in WALLS he travels around the world to chat with locals about how it is like living next to border barriers and fortified walls. I had no idea how many walls there are, from the Western Sahara and Ceuta and Melilla in Spain. It is an mind-opener. In Driven, he travels across Canada to interview taxi drivers, which results in a very unique perspective on our cities and stories of human struggles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/ccf94077-04d2-4c44-938f-413354411308/725A77F5-DFBA-494A-90F9-EC701BC50657.JPG Street Views - Everyday Tourist's 2024 Best Flaneur Finds - Make it stand out Just one of many interesting political cartoons. https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/calgary-the-city-of-garages monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/35b5f110-c523-46d0-b720-33f5a8f5c0d1/IMG_8334.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Typical inner city back lane. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/942306b0-d378-4b0c-8181-968765b4b2bb/DSC01106.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Typical late 20th century new community street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/f39e0f96-8701-46f2-be3d-0bea1c41e2ec/IMG_7535.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Parking garages are also part of Calgarians everyday experience at grocery stores, shopping malls, hardware stores, as well post-secondary schools and hospitals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1bad8413-a6e9-4792-8935-10d718203711/James%2BShort%2BPark.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Harmony Parkade is below this an 880 stall garage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/33a90f3d-b9ff-49d5-af8c-5da673305491/Lunchtime%2Bat%2BHotchkiss%2BGardens.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Below Hotchkiss Gardens is a 770 stall garage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/86402615-6be5-4372-947e-448a7499723a/McDougall%2BCentre%2Bskate%2Bpark_.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Below the historic McDougall School is a parkade with 658 stalls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/aae27bde-208b-4420-9553-bc42ef018dac/First%2BCanada%2BCentre%2Bplaza.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Below this plaza is the First Canadian Centre parkade with 192 parking stalls https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/9eaf4bf5-8f5d-474c-9b0f-094e62886d6a/York%2BHotel%2BPlaza.jpg Street Views - Calgary: The City Of Garages - Make it stand out Below the old York Hotel site plaza is the Bow Tower parkade that takes up two city blocks.

They allow jay-walking. Awnings add colour and can also be used as signage. Human scale is also important. Highrise towers dwarf pedestrians, making the sidewalks below pedestrian unfriendly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/7e94a015-e810-42b8-9767-52a5fd2fa361/IMG_8665.jpeg Street Views - The Curse of Minimalism & Segregation Rant! - Make it stand out Today 8th Avenue aka Stephen Avenue walk is a pedestrian mall by day and a one way road at night. Plans are in place to make it a pedestrian mall 24/7 in the hope that it will attract more people to the shops and restaurants. Plans are also being developed to add three minimalist towers to the block 66, 54 and 24 floors that will dwarf the historical buildings and its early 20th century sense of place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/e7d11602-860a-4d4d-846b-5e1bf3582886/7th%2BTransit%2BCorridor%2C%2BCalgary.jpg Street Views - The Curse of Minimalism & Segregation Rant! - Make it stand out Today, Calgary’s 7th Avenue has been converted into a transit corridor for LRT trains and buses. The few shops along this street struggle to survive. Wonder who decided it was a good idea to randomly place a useless grey ball in the middle of the platform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1363455810669-HYE7QF4WEYZ21IYKQZ5P/image.jpg Street Views - The Curse of Minimalism & Segregation Rant!

Perhaps never more than now with the impact of COVID19 on our lives. I never realized people share books so much and I was surprised at how much some people read and that they keep track of everything they have read. My best year was when I turned 50, I read 50 books and did a short synopsis of each to them, but I can’t imagine doing that every year. Perhaps if I didn’t play golf! https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/london-england-facade-fun-poetry-vs-photos monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1589990906254-1DQIEE8WRX99HC59JWNA/DSC02006.JPG Street Views -

Last Word In my opinion, cities today are placing too much attention (and money) on the design of the streetscape as a means of attracting people to their shopping streets.

at least quarterly if not monthly. https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/2019/3/26/vancouver-black-amp-white monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1554827732220-XJBW9G60HCPPO0MS7UHM/Screen+Shot+2019-04-09+at+10.06.29+AM.png Street Views -

Stix is 70’ tall and made of 27 wooden poles. The poles are spaced in an irregular pattern throughout the surface area of the roundabout and the verticality of the poles varies between 0º - 15º from the center axis. The poles are made of red cedar and are painted in stripes of various heights in four different colors: red, orange, light blue, dark blue, and light green. Fifteen up-lights are embedded into the landscaping to light up the sculpture at night, which results in a vibrant display of color, light and shadow. What is fun to me is that the artist Christian Moeller proposed a very similar piece for the Crowfoot LRT Station. I was my first choice but I was over ruled by the other jury members who liked "Roger That."

After I took this photo they toss the garbage in a dumpster nearby. I am thinking that if the Bowfort Road / Trans Canada Highway underpass had been painted like this on a permanent basis, it would have been well received. In addition to adding some colour to a concrete grey underpass, it would also have delivered an uplifting message i.e. Calgary is an inclusive city or perhaps Calgary is a city hope and optimism.

It made me happy the space is still available to the public and if you live in Montreal this could be your office. Imagine going to work here everyday! We were there on a Saturday afternoon and the huge space was packed with people happily working away. https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/2016/12/5/ffqing-in-montreal monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480946526796-FXDQ5MJGW1T60WCJFLXO/Carport%2C+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal You have to admit this is fun, funky and quirky. Found this black and white carport artwork while wandering along Boulevard St. Laurent aka The Main (because it is Main Street and divides the city into east and west). The Main is full of fun murals in the alleys and on the side of buildings at street corners. It makes this street a fun place to flaneur. You can find this garage at 4866 St. Laurent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480944078524-KGJALD64M14T60AG7Q2F/Jeans+Toss%2C+Jeans+Jeans+Jeans%2C+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal Jean Toss: Yes that is a pair of jeans (look at the top of the photo near the pillar) being tossed by staff at Jeans Jeans Jeans from a rack on the other side of the store to the fitting area. It is better than the fish toss at Seattle's Pike Market. Go on Saturday afternoon and you won't be disappointed. See video below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480942103359-PIDPC6SZKTH5TEPBQF12/Montreal+Convention+Centre Street Views - FFQing in Montreal Captured this surreal light show at south-west entrance of the Montreal Convention Centre. The sun shining through the building's coloured glass facade created a wonderful mosaic on the escalator, steps, walls and floor inside the building. It is like walking into a stain glass window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480943635494-K9K13HFK2YYLPYHIFV52/Olympic+Torch+artwork%2C+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal This is a close-up of the Olympic Torch sculpture on the plaza in front of the offices of the Canadian Olympic headquarters. The yellow and orange colours dance like a flame and the stainless steel reflects the street life to create a fun artwork that works well both day and night. IMHO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480943669635-T5CDOKXSG3MZKCR7CSZL/Barbie+Doll+Fashion+Show%2C+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal Stumbled upon a fun Barbie Doll exhibition in Montreal's Underground City. There were hundreds of dolls with designer clothes in display cases on the walls, as well as several fun vignettes, like this fashion show which was animated with models on runway and flashing cameras in the audience. See video below. The noise you hear is the fountain in the middle of the exhibition space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480943709392-SKPLHBQ94VAHQWTDHMPU/Cirque+du+Soleil%2C+OVO%2C+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal If you are in Montreal, you have to go to a Cirque du Soleil show.

Today there are still many wholesalers who have showrooms there and on Saturdays some of them are open to the public. It is a fun place to wander as you never know what you will find. We got to see some of the Fall 2017 lines before the buyers did and heard stories of the good old days. We also discovered this ghostly fashion show of mannequins in one of the empty spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480944030543-5B2GIDI8WBLHLBR40MDY/Urban+Igloos%3F+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal These urban igloos were a quirky surprise. Turns out everyone on this street of row houses has white plastic carports. I am guessing it is winter adaptation due to the fact Montreal gets lots of snow.

The lobby is located on the former site of Montreal's walled fortifications which were built in 1717 and demolished between 1804 and 1812. The fragment, donated to the City of Montréal by the City of Berlin to commemorate Montréal’s 350th anniversary, is a testament to Berlin's return to the community of free cities after the fall of the Wall on November 9, 1989. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1480946464438-XOD2W81PIDP3VTX4VWJE/Red+Light+District%2C+Montreal Street Views - FFQing in Montreal This is not Montreal's "Red Light District."

Mayor Nenshi became a hero during the floods, much like Rudy Giuliani the NYC mayor did during the World Trade Centre disaster. He was our superman, as were many of the Alderman who worked tirelessly help their constituents find help. Calgary is very fortunate to have a very dedicated and caring City Council. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1372630332910-OU20W627279HQFAC4CR9/Helpstations.JPG Street Views - Calgary: The Pioneer Spirit Lives on! Everyone pitched in to help with the clean up - young and old. A couple of women in their 80s drove up to one of these many help centres and said we are too old to help with the clean up so we baked muffins.

This one has a pop art, Jetson-like design. The eye glassed are set inside what looks like large eyeballs. How fun is that? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370659145463-9Y0O502SOC5SBHCMD2R3/Provocateur+.jpg Street Views - Window licking in Chicago This may well be one of the most provocative windows I have ever encountered that wasn't a sex shop. Found on a side street just north of Michigan Ave at the edge of the Gold Coast. It is both fun and erotic! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370659272541-NZ79OAS0T0JMTXXPQ5RQ/red+window+office.jpg Street Views - Window licking in Chicago This is a street window in an office building. I don't usually take notice of these, but this one conveyed to me a sense of isolation and minimalism that is too often associated with office buildings at street level. For me it has a 21st century Edward Hopper like quality to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370659416063-4QH6855J358FFD4895L2/Bucktown+Bakery.jpg Street Views - Window licking in Chicago Found this amazing Portuguese Bakery in Bucktown that was right out of the '60s. Places like these are the thrill that every flaneur is looking for.

It was three floors of nothing but old sewing machines, it was just as impressive from the bus as from the street. Created a definite statement. Wish more places would take the time to be creative and create street statement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370660226237-XULBJHNE9P0SSGPPCXPZ/Man+Hat.jpg Street Views - Window licking in Chicago Mens' shop aren't usually as creative as women's but this window caught our attention.

It is like a set to a play that is about to happen. There is an open-ended narrative.

I loved the fun use of the pencils. It was only later that I realize that reflection of the one-legged women really dominates the photograph and gives it an another level of fun/surprise which is what window licking is all about. Great streets are full of surprises. https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/2013/6/3/stairways-to-heaven monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370314539665-5Y7CILUBOOMU6JUH7KLP/Gold+Coast+twin+curved+stairs+.jpg Street Views - Chicago's Gold Coast: Staircases This twin staircase was the one that capture our attention and made us stop in our tracks. Does it get more inviting than this? The black wrought iron is prevalent throughout Chicago. Like brick it is a timeless urban design element that should be employed more in urban neighbourhoods as it creates an immediate sense of place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370314682819-EEETKBO78J9FT6PT4695/Gold+Coast+curved+staircase+.jpg Street Views - Chicago's Gold Coast: Staircases Another curved staircase that demonstrates the importance of ornamentation and decoration to create pleasant walking streets in urban setting. The flowers magnify the sense of beauty and pride of ownership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370314800708-U7S5DOBYEGB8YLQMV32Y/Gold+Coast+stone+staircase+.jpg Street Views - Chicago's Gold Coast: Staircases Not all of the staircases were wrought iron. This stone staircase provides a nice contrast to the black iron railing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370314919163-FGNR443ZGNKQB1ZJZJO0/Gold+Coast+Stairs+1326+.jpg Street Views - Chicago's Gold Coast: Staircases The contrast of the white house and black railings creates an elegance that is timeless. There are lots of textures and lines that make the street visually interesting for pedestrians. It is the visual complexity that makes the streets of the Gold Coast great pedestrian streets even though there are no shops. It would be interesting to see what these streets are like in the winter with no vegetation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1370315135417-Y54EC0PQFW84NMYJ1VBW/Gold+Coasts+stairs+to+basement.jpg Street Views - Chicago's Gold Coast: Staircases Another twin staircase to an upper door that is very rich in its ornamentation. While the entrance is gated you don't feel shut out like you do with the six foot wood fences so prevalent in new subdivisions. The lines are clean, concise and clear; making for a inviting sense of space. There is a wonderful interplay of the shadows and light from trees and decorative elements that soften the entire urban landscape. https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/2013/4/26/albertas-dream monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1366989897019-L2C95MAHPW4Z0QPJLT22/Bow+Alberta%27s+Dream+.jpg Street Views - Alberta's Dream.....Plensa meets Foster Alberta's Dream aka The Tree Hugger, sit all alone one the sidewalk/plaza on the back side of the Bow office tower.

The skin of the parkade is made of aluminum that has thousands of holes punch into it to allow for ventilation, as well as creating the pixilation that results in the mural of the Calgary's prairie sky. As a result of the changing sun light, the mural is constantly changing. Bing Tom Architects from Vancouver designed the Parkade, in collaboration with Vancouver artist Roderick Quin who designed the cloudscape mural. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365286445478-46MV1C1BR0E5Y3KLLB0B/4th+Street+SE+Underpass+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) The new 4th Street SE Underpass connects Calgary's historic Stampede Park with the new East Village urban village being created on the other side of the CPR railway tracks. Immediately on the other side will be the new National Music Centre and King Eddy Hotel (Calgary's home of the blues). The underpass has won unanimous praise for its sleek and simple design, with great sight lines. It has already been the catalyst for the development of the Village Ice Cream shop that serves delicious home-made ice cream. It has also inspired the City to redevelop the City Centre's other underpasses. Broadway Malyan was he lead designer on the underpass, with Marshall Tittemore Architects being the local consultants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365286678198-5TA1PVS29IKOA8OSTJ6G/%2B15+Bridge+from+Municipal+Bld.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Calgary is home to over 60 skybridges (called +15 bridges in Calgary as they are 15 feet off the ground). This one has been retrofitted with colour film on the glass to give it a contemporary stain glass feel. This bridge enhances the arts district nature of the area as it connects Calgary's Museum of Contemporary Art with the EPCOR Performing Art Centre, as well as a major parkade and the Municipal Building (aka The Blue Monster). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365286890066-ZIPJWI39JB9B4UB890ED/Cloud+Nuit+Blanche+Festival+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) The "Cloud" is an interactive art installation by artist Caitlind r.c. Brown that was unveiled at Nuit Blanche September 15th 2012 on Calgary's Olympic Plaza. The artwork is made of 1000 working light bulbs with pull chains and 5000 burt- out light bulbs donated by public. Visitors independently pull the chains to turn the light bulbs on and off which result in a shimmering effect. While I was there, the public all got together to turn off all the light bulbs and then at a count of 3 they pulled the chains all the lights came on at once. You gotta like public art that is fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365287212645-UOJ5F3BGIYF26QG9OWU8/Jamieson+Place+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Several new major skyscrapers have been built in downtown Calgary since the beginning of the 21st century. The one that gets the most attention is The Bow tower as it was designed by Norman Foster and has a unique semi-circular shape that mirrors the "bow shape" in the Bow River as it passes through downtown. However, Jamieson Place is the one that I like the most with its strong vertical lines that trust just slightly above the top of the tower. It has a 21st century Art Deco feel to me. However, the Calgary architectural firm of Gibbs Gage who designed the building talk about Frank Lloyd Wright (the father of prairie architecture) as their inspiration. Inside is an amazing winter garden with a huge growing wall and hanging glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365288099728-BFR6C8SYRKUD583NBOWF/Memorial+park+2.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Recently Calgary's 100 year old Memorial Park was redesigned adding in fountains, more flower planting and a bistro restaurant to the existing 100 year old sandstone Carnegie Library building and the many war memorials. It is home to one of Calgary's many Remembrance Day ceremonies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365301487834-OUZ2AWFLMYRYZPFSLW57/Alberta+Children%27s+Hospital+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) I take a lot of flack over the fact that I like this building a lot. But then i am a sucker for colour and I am a kid at heart. Yes, it looks like lego design, which is not surprising as children were consulted in the design. I love the fact that the building shouts "children." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365301648423-TV4U0XH085KSEF7YJE3O/SAIT+Parkade+%3A+Playing+Field+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This is the roof of the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology parkade located in the centre of the campus. There is a full-size playing field on the roof connect to the recreation centre. The glass ramp is the dramatic pedestrian entrance to the parkade from campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365301921325-VH1C23JA1AU7T7WS9MV1/Wonderland+2.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This photo captures the new Wonderland sculpture by Jaume Plensa on the plaza of the Norman Foster Bow Tower. In the background is the Suncor Centre (built in the '80s), which consists of two towers the tallest one was the tallest in Calgary until the Bow was constructed. The Suncor Tower has an interesting slanted roof top and the two towers together make a reference in their design to the iconic prairie grain elevator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365302478262-54AXIF8E9GN5EMCAT6LY/Esker+Art+Gallery+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This photo is taken from the Esker Art Gallery which is located on the eastern edge of the Centre City. The downtown skyline can be seen in the background. Like the SAIT campus buildings there is a lot of use of neon sticks in the ceilings of the gathering spaces. Both were designed by the same Calgary architectural firm Kasian. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365344161019-N791KI3SPGUE59WS6DQP/SAIT+cafeteria+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Looking down at the cafeteria study area in SAIT's Trades & Technology space.

The two towers combine to create a Rocky Mountain ridge-like edge and the glass captures and reflect the luminous big blue Calgary sky. The lead architects for the project were Pickard Chilton with Gibbs Gage as the local architects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365348820430-GDR7WKT3FTGCXKBTECJ3/Eight+Avenue+Place+2.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This photo illustrates how the skin of the EAP towers capture the electric blue Calgary sky to create a shimmering effect that is analogous to the shimmering sunlight in the mountains with the snow. The building colour and shape changes through-out the day as the different plans of the building capture the light differently; this is not captured in the rendering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365349334033-K80V8UGDV6MUVE1U0MUW/Modern+House+1.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Calgary's new sense of design extends into residential developments also. The inner-city streets are being invaded by contemporary infills like this one. One of the distinguishing features is multiple slanted roofs and strong lines both vertically and horizontally, that seem to reflect Calgary's sense of place which is a the transition from the flat prairies to the vertical thrust of the Rocky Mountains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365349729779-CLZ5NV5RYK1PIWM3UPO1/Modern+house+3.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Another example of the infills that are on every block of our inner city communities. In this case a modern duplex has been built where there once was a small cottage bungalow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365366888449-QGLYK4BXYN6SGVZG76SZ/RiverWalk+5.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This is Calgary's RiverwWalk not to be confused with San Antonio's River Walk. It is a promenade that extends from Chinatown to Fort Calgary where it will link up with the Stampede Parks promenade. On the west side it links to the Eau Claire Promenade all the way to Shaw Millennium Park. Downtown Calgary is the hub for an 800 km city-wide pathway system. On nice days winter and summer, thousands of Calgarians with stroll and ride the pathways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365367528947-Y2BAY5FE5PIV2WYGKAMS/river+walk+calgary.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Another look at our RiverWalk which has several places to sit and contemplate the river's edge. The Bow River is one of the best fly fishing rivers in the world. Even in downtown Calgary, you can walk to the rivers edge and try your hand a fly fishing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365367695756-X4EBK9SGCH7RDNS9BMEV/Peace+Bridge+2.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This is Caglary's Peace Bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava, which has been very controversial for a variety of reasons from cost to procurement. However, since completion it seems to have captured the public imagination and makes a bold statement along Calgary's Memorial Drive which has recently been redesigned as a more ceremonial street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365367932099-P6JWW5ZYZYD162OB009X/Peace+Bridge+4.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Another view of the Peace Bridge and how it links to the pathway on the north side of the Bow River. It is all part of the Downtown Bow River pedestrian experience. A second iconic pedestrian bridge is currently under construction at the east end of the Downtown to create a circular urban walking path. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365428417802-P82FGZT6Q1LVLWKQK5R2/The+Core+ceiling+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) The Core shopping centre's glass roof is 3 blocks long, creates a unique perspective of the surrounding office buildings. It also creates a sunny shopping experience even in the middle of the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365428584263-LROTHQG3V2LJ8XTONN41/Devonian+Gardens.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) The Devonian Gardens (DG) were first created in 1977, but recently were redesign to become a more formal garden. DG is attached to The Core shopping centre and also includes a full children's playground and Koi ponds that are loved by children. It is an oasis in the middle of the downtown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365428763183-EVYZ56I32GVUE1TPEU18/Hotel+LeGermain+streetscape.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Hotel Le Germain building is a vertical office tower and hotel tower with a horizontal condo on top. Each tower has its own design and materials At street level is the lobby and restaurants. Truly a mixed-use building and definitely an out-of-the-box design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365455449131-603LMY98DU4TNJFN7GRG/West+LRT+Station+4.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This is an image of the copper underbelly of the Sunalta Station of Calgary's new west leg of our Light Rapid Transit System. It is the new gateway into the Downtown from the west, offering riders a spectacular view of the downtown skyline. In the evening when the sun is setting, the glass towers can become a symphony of gold and copper colours. I am not sure if the designers had this in mind when they chose the materials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365455795481-CWKSQ816KD41ZH6R8ALE/Sunalta+Station+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This is the street view of the Sunalta Station, Calgary's first elevated LRT station. Designed by local architectural firm GEC the elliptical shape works to protect the station from wind, snow and rain. It was also inspired the Chinook Arch cloud formation which brings warm winds to Calgary in the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365456115955-UZFNB9MZJYVW16UMX8TO/South+Health+Campus+2.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) The South Health Campus (hospital) open recently on the southern edge of the city.

The Green Wall in the background is 22 ft hight and 100 ft wide and has over 20,000 plants. It was designed by McRae Anderson of McCaren Designs who chose plant types, leaf shapes, sizes and textures to mirror the topographical changes in the land around Calgary as you move from prairie grasslands to foothills to mountains. In the foreground is one of three Dale Chihuly glass sculptures that hang over the infinity ponds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1365862624067-KYKPKWY1P3NTAPZDQVZS/Water+Center.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) The Water Center presents a dramatic gateway into the Center City via an industrial area on the south east edge. In shape and materials it suggests a huge culvert from the road side. It is also home to a major public art projects as part of the City's 1% for public art program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1366031978701-85YZCT3SYEUMPMONTBKA/photo.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Calgary also has some "design" condos in the Center City like "Colours" by local developer Paul Battistella. In this case the podium is a parking garage but it is nicely designed with random colour panels that add a bright and youthful sense of place along the emerging First Street promenade area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1366032459441-4BJV3YY4VJONWN7ZAMQ6/Arriva+.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) This is an older photo of the Arriva condo which was the first condo to be built in Victoria Park one of Calgary's oldest communities. It was designed by local architects BKDI and was suppose to have 3 towers but went bankrupt. However, it has been bought out of receivership and a new tower is planned next to it, however, it won't be a sister design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1366811097267-V58NG4SUPTNDMS1SZ4V6/St.+Patrick%27s+Bridge+Rendering+01.jpg Street Views - Calgary: North America's Newest "Design" City (Revisited) Currently under construction the St. Patrick's Island Bridge is designed to look like a skipping stone. It will link Calgary's East Village to St. Patrick's Island which is being redeveloped as a mixed-use recreational area. When combined with the historic Centre Street bridge and the Peace bridge it will create a wonderful figure 8 walking tour of the majestic Bow River. The bridge was designed by RFR from Paris. https://everydaytourist.ca/street-views/2013/3/16/paris-subway-theatre monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1363459372154-KB6UBO4YNRQZ6A1242OF/Paris+Subway+readers.jpg Street Views - Paris' Subway Theatre A cast of characters, all looking ahead ignoring each other.

This could be an installation in a contemporary art gallery. Did they purposely link the orange chairs with the poster.

The posters in the subway are provocative and visually challenging in a way that is rarely seen in other cities. Each station has its own set design that ranges from playful to erotic to fearful. There is a definite sense of the comedy and tragedy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1363460637887-N9CM0RJ4KCVTX394365Z/IMG_2812.JPG Street Views - Paris' Subway Theatre The boundaries of advertising and art are blurred in Paris' Subway theatre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/50e1b9c6e4b015296ce398f6/1363546784191-95FTBCVKKVWO0QVOUFVM/IMG_2680.jpg Street Views - Paris' Subway Theatre While riding in the train I became fascinated by the combination of what was happening outside and inside in the reflection and transparency of the windows.
