This is certainly an exceptionally charming space in the heart of the old industrial district of Calgary. We especially enjoy the classy brick walls, large windows, and welcoming fire places. Everything is absolutely fantastic. Plenty of parking, and a great little spot to host your event or have your wedding.

I had my first visit to the Inglewood Community Hall last night for the Kit and Kaboodle Circus. I…read morewondered how they were going to simulate a big top in a community hall. When I pulled up and saw the circular hall, it all became clear! Spacious and well-kept, the hall is in good shape and looks to be home to a hub of different activities, like the Rhythm Cafe-live drumming and music the last Friday of every month. I like the circular setup of this hall better than your typical rectangular halls. It made for a good view of the stage from almost any angle. Acoustics for the show were clear, although I'm not sure if the hall came with a sound system or not. At any rate, it's a nice little spot for community events down in Inglewood.

Last week I ordered mini cucumbers, Broxburn eggs, Noble Meadows feta cheese, cocktail tomatoes, lettuce, basil, mint, pickled beans, and green peppers. The difference between Broxburn's produce and the stuff Safeway, Superstore and even Coop sells is significant. I'm actually enjoying eating vegetables now. I just placed my second order and I added Meadow Creek Chicken Drumsticks 5 KG ($25), DenBok Family Farm Raw unpasteurized Honey ($10), feta, eggplant, herbs, and a Broxburn box which consists of: 1 quart cherry tomatoes, 2 lbs red Roma tomatoes, 1 lb mini cucumbers, 1 long English cucumber, 2 butter leaf lettuces, and 1 dozen free run eggs for $35.00. Ordering details: - Pre-order only. Message (587) 435-4204 Website: https://www.broxburn-vegetables.com/ The meeting place would be the the parking lot of the @cspacekingedward market (29th Ave. SW) on Friday @ 6 PM.

Along a quiet residential street in Inglewood, surrounded by small, old bungalows is not the…read morelocation you'd expect to find such a remarkable venue. I think Festival Hall is a remarkable venue, because it seems both so out of place and so perfect for the neighbourhood at the same time. The building is by no means extravagant - a brick cube that could very well be a small apartment. You'll almost pay no attention to it, wondering if you've gone the wrong direction until you get close enough to read the sign on the front wall. It blends into its surroundings without so much as a parking lot to indicate there's a concert venue in the area. Inside, the 200ish seat space is comfortable and intimate. The performance area is a large cube room with some brilliantly subtle touches that prevent it from sounding like a small gymnasium. Large soft curtains at the back to absorb sound, angled walls, ceiling and attractive roof trusses break up sound and reduce echo and keep you focused on the performance. The space works well for unamplified performances - I was most recently wowed by Cowtown Opera's ability to fill the space using nothing more than vocals and a single piano. I've also seen several roots / blues acts here and the space sounds excellent at the higher volumes of drum kits and electric guitars. Another cool feature is the versatility of the space. Without fixed seating, they are free to setup the room to accommodate the needs of any performer. With a full-house the foyer can get pretty packed at intermission and I quickly find myself seeking some fresh air. You can order any kind of beer as long as it's Big Rock, which is a-ok by me! Drinks are also permitted in the performance hall which is a nice touch.

We went to Flores and Pine for a meal with another couple that I did not know very well. As a…read moreresult I did not want to be "that guy" and raise an issue at the restaurant and even if we were on our own, I likely still don't raise the issue but just simply not return to the restaurant. We dine out a lot so this was not a case of not having comparables. Service was very pleasant and attentive. 3 out of 4 meals were fine. All salmon based dishes that were enjoyed. The fourth was the Alberta Lamb Top Sirloin. I wish I would have taken a picture of the meal. The price was $62 for the entree which I find is in line with mid to higher end restaurants in Calgary and expected. What was surprising was that the entree consisted of two pieces of lamb that each would be slightly above the size of a golf ball. I actually cut it into small pieces just so that it would last longer. There were a couple of slices of potatoes and a small amount of seasonal vegetables. In my head I was saying, "seriously" or "that's it". I would say that since Covid occurred, prices at restaurants have risen about 40% higher and given that we still dine out quite a bit, I have been accustomed to this new pricing but I simply would not return to Flores and Pine given the complete lack of value. It is a shame because the room and ambience was nice and this restaurant had been on our list to try since it has opened. I don't believe I have ever written a review of a restaurant and I have certainly have had worse meals at a restaurant but these were likely at a pub or chain restaurant where I have few expectations. Anyway, as mentioned the other 3 in our party enjoyed their meals and it was only I that had an issue.

They were very pleased with their meals. I ordered the Icelandic Fish which was cod. Very small piece on a bed of Luke warm shredded fennel and onion. 2 patties of something that had been grilled but were cold. The plate was also cold so everything was a disappointment. The dessert was a small tablespoon of fresh fruit on the whipped egg white wasn't even close to a serving. At $18, it was not value for money. The wines were good, but we were refilling our own glasses, which was poor service for a meal at a rop restaurant. When one pays $500 for a meal for 3 people, one expects top line. This was not.

I purchased a couple of tickets for my sister and myself to a little production one night. The tickets weren't expensive at all - $25 for a couple hours of entertainment is definitely worth it. Even though I didn't get to experience any sort of paranormal activity I was thoroughly pleased with the whole evening. The play was interesting and appealing; the seating is limited, so therefore very intimate; and there was always the added excitement of having a run-in with a ghost. I'll probably head back to the Pumphouse Theatre the next time I'm in the mood for a play... or when I'm hoping for a good scare.

The beautiful red brick building, acoustics, and large stages enable intimate but feasible setting for plays, shows, and the like. My only complaint is the comfortability (or lack thereof) of the seating. The chairs are not conducive to sitting for a three hour show. Most shows include intermissions. I suggest you make good use of said intermission and stretch your legs!! Also, the Pumphouse is tucked away off the beaten path meaning that no eateries are in the area. Do not expect to stop at a restaurant before the theatre if you only want to park once. No restaurants are theatre-adjacent.
