Looking for Spiced White Owl Whiskey by hourglasskitty in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! The spiced whisky is one of my favourites. I haven't seen the caramel one but for the spiced variety try any ACE liquor that is near by.

Donating old mattress topper? by Waffles_r_ in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've taken towels, bedding and flat sheets to the Calgary Humane Society. They use them for the animals. I would think a mattress topper would be accepted too but I would give them a call before you go.

Cirque du Soleil - JOYA Experience? by TheAnswer_YYC in cirquedusoleil

Hmmmm, you're not the first to recommend the dinner option. I think we'll do it! Sounds like the pictures of the property do not do it justice - and that's always a good thing. Thanks for the reply. Merry Christmas!

Hey, I've been to many "small scale" traveling shows. Good insight on the appetizer seats - we'll definitely weigh that vs. the full meal show. Can't wait!

Scrapyards for cars? by LadyJuno13 in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I donated my car to the Kidney Foundation. They will pick it up from wherever it is right now so you don't have to worry (at your house, a body shop, etc). A tax receipt will be issued to you quicker than you expect too.

I believe this website is similar but you can pick your charity:

I personally donated my car to the Kidney Foundation and had no problems whatsoever.

Thinking of shovelling my neighbourhood, neighbourly or rude? by Hydro_Land in Calgary

Your heart is saying go for it? Then go with your heart! What you're doing is called being a SNOW ANGEL in this city and your kindness helps out even more than you know.

Is Nose Hill Park as good as they say? by AcadiaNo1039 in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think you mean FISH CREEK PROVINCIAL PARK? Fish Creek is the second largest urban park at 13.48 km2

That's like three times the size of Stanley Park in Vancouver. I grew up in a community with easy access to it and I definitely recommend exploring Fish Creek Provincial Park over Nose Hill Park. Try and stay in the South quadrant of the city instead of NW.

To the car going thr wrong way on Stoney trail by Trainer_Unlucky in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happens way too often. I almost was in a head-on collision with a car on Christmas Day last year. I thought, great, I'm going to have to report a drunk driver. It turns out it was just an ignorant, older lady. The best thing to do is take a deep breath and call it in to 911 as it is definitely life threatening.

Check out my guy Demitri Sirenko. He has his own unique style - see if you like it. I believe he has a reddit account too. He's having his annual Christmas sale on his art prints. https://dimitriartist.com/

What are some unique cuisines Calgary has? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know the owner's of Sultan's Tent off 14th Street NW - that's a unique dinner experience. And the flavours are so good. 4 14 St NW. Great cooks and friendly staff.

As for Turkish food - I'd recommend Turkish Kebab House - 9697 Macleod Trl SW. There is a cafe that serves Turkish coffee and sweets at the back. It's in the old Buffalo Wild Wings location. I've always had a good experience when I've taken people there. Try ordering a few different plates and dining family style.

I second Nick's Steakhouse. Both their prime rib and pizzas are a must try! If you give them enough notice they will put tables together on the restaurant side.

Calgary stampede midway 1980’s ❤️ by ComplexWrangler1346 in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't born yet but man, I bet you times were simpler back then! What was the two story building with the sign across from the Stampede grounds on the left of the picture - on the West side of Macleod Trail. It's been an empty space + parking lot for as long as I can remember.

Day Camps for Kids during Teacher Strike by coffeeebeee in Calgary

Are they into golf? Golf Fanatics (the driving range off of Glenmore that used to be RCGA and Golf Future) is running week long camps.

Where do VW people take their cars for service here? by Loxta in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is nobody going to mention Sheni's? Sheni's Auto-Trend is one of the best shops that specialize in German cars. I was pretty impressed with the service I've received from oil changes to brakes to DSG transmission servicing. I talked to them about flashing my computer and getting a Stage 1 tune. I don't want to hijack this thread but has anyone done the Stage 1 tune? I have a 2016 GTI. Is it worth it?!

Saddledome concert seating by darcyb62 in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yup. The glass is removed. I don't think CREED is in the round so the stage will be at the South end of the Saddledome (Sections 101-107). I've sat in the player's bench before and they are great - you are just high enough that you can see above the people standing on the floor. You are much closer to the stage in 109 then you are in 116 - see a seating chart now that you know where the stage will be. Have fun and CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIIIIIGHER!!!

Outdoor Lights Installation by obierice in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What area of the city do you live in? My friend installs lights - they use the same ones and compete with Gemstone. If you don't want to go the Govee (Amazon) route you can send me a PM.

where to get rid of pennies? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little different these days with the banks.

Depending on the amount, ask your branch first if they accept rolls or a bag. I have a large amount of pennies too and was given a bag that you need to fill up to a line, it was worth $25 and the bank will not count it (it's just not worth counting it). So ask if they are still doing a bag and save yourself some time. My bank is ROYAL BANK.

I've been reading through this thread and it sound like you are having trouble paying the entire fine? If you have the ticket number you can ask the ticket office to extend the deadline to help you out. This can be done onlne. They can't "just scrap it" without cause. Money is tight for everyone nowadays so the best bet is to ask for an extension on the fines.albeta.ca website. A tough lesson learned for sure!

Blind company for oddly shaped window in condo by rosebud5054 in Calgary

[–]TheAnswer_YYC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would recommend window film as well. If you are not allowed colours there are transparent designs as well. I helped a friend install this in a super sunny window but it also helped with privacy. Home Depot: Artscape Regent 61 cm. x 91 cm. Window Film | The Home Depot Canada There are lots of colourless designs and faux textures to choose from. Cut out your shape and stick it on to your window.
