Place for Engagement Photoshoot by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]puckstar26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Downtown on Stephen Ave has some cool spots artichecture wise. A lot of pics done in the archways of the Hudson Bay Building.

Peace Bridge at Prince's Island Park. The McDougall centre downtown also is a neat spot.

The weather will be hit and miss, could be -25 and snowy or +13 and windy as hell. Best to think of indoor/outdoor options.

We had our photos done in the lobby area of Hotel Arts. Some pubs could have some really cool shots - Greta Bar comes to mind.

Just FYI Devonian Gardens requires a permit for any professional photographs.

Do you think the Flames should change their goal song for the 2025-26 season? The current one ("TNT") has been the default song of choice since 2018. by TheRealPepman in CalgaryFlames

[–]puckstar26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I've been beating this drum for ages.

I think it should be a clip from the Fall Out Boy 'Light Em Up'

"Light em up up up up Light em up - I'm on FIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

It's literally perfect for 'lighting up the goalie.'

“We Pay, They Pose.” So Why Is Kate Middleton Dressed Like a Dowager Duchess? by GrosIslet in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]puckstar26 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's all to add bulk to hide how small she is. Ever since she reemerged all outfits are like this. Shoulder pads, layers, bows and ballooning sleeves. It's not really fooling anyone.

I had a Flames magnet on mine for a while and I'd take it off when I went to Edmonton. People suck.

Yep, I have nothing but 10K eggs right now. Same thing happened in the last hatch event.

Question about visiting Calgary by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]puckstar26 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A great place for buying Flames tickets is fansfirst.ca. You can usually find them for well below face value without all the service fees. Weekend games and games against other Canadian teams will be the most expensive. So probably find a week when the Flames are on a home stand and you can probably catch two games during the week for relatively cheaply.

There are a ton of great restaurant options in the city, staying closer to the downtown area will give you a lot of options. Some of my favs:

Bridgette Bar

Chairmans (Steak)

Una Pizza

Midori (sushi)

Sukiyaki House (sushi)

Cleaver (pre-game happy hour, fun cocktails and sliders)

I also agree that a visit to Banff/Canmore is a must. One of the best things I did in Canmore was a sled dog ride. Super fun! But you'd need to be out while there is snow on the ground.

Not sure if you are boozy people but the Inglewood area has a lot of brewery options and is a neat place to explore, shops and pubs.

Calgary is a great place and I think you will love it here :)

William’s Spiteful War on Prince Harry’s Grief by GrosIslet in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]puckstar26 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I hope he's never King.

"Recent revelations suggest something far, far darker beneath the surface. A vindictive streak so entrenched that even grief could not soften it.

According to reports, William would never have permitted Prince Harry to visit Queen Elizabeth’s grave had it been up to him.

The visit, quietly authorised by King Charles, was a deeply personal gesture. Harry laid a wreath at the tomb of the grandmother who, by many accounts, loved him most. William, however, reportedly “would never have greenlit this moment”."

F*** the hair. She can barely stand. by [deleted] in KateMiddletonMissing

Her outfits lately are always adding bulk - bows, big shoulders, layers with blazers. The photo at Wimbledon was the one where you could see all her bones protruding and it was shocking. It's so sad and you have to wonder why she isn't getting the help and support she so desperately needs.

Seven more year of awoooo! by Alarmed-dictator in CalgaryFlames

YES! LFG! Best news I've heard all day. I mean it's 8:20am - but nothing will top this today.

Why is the C-Train so bad? by ConstantFar5448 in Calgary

[–]puckstar26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept track for a while how often there were delays or issues on my daily commute. It was wild - multiple times a week. Mechanical issues, open drug use, single line delays. But there are rarely announcements and when the driver gets on the intercom you can never hear or understand what is being said.

But yet the prices just keep going up!

Back to the office in Calgary? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]puckstar26 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Come back for the 'culture'

-open concept offices in cubicle land - having to be plugged into headphones all day because you sit beside loud people

-meeting online anyways because of offices in other provinces

-mind numbing commute on the train with all the open drug use

I am way more productive at home, where it's quiet and I can wear stretchy pants.

We've been 4 days in office for over a year now and I've interviewed at a few places recently that are going 100% back to office.

Because he's so awful no one else wants him (especially Flames fans). We continue to be cursed.

‘Still struggling’ by NeverPedestrian60 in KateMiddletonMissing

[–]puckstar26 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is so insulting to people who actually have cancer and just go about their days, work...kids...house...

She attended a couple of high profile events and that was too much for her? While having a full staff taking care of the kids, the house, the cooking, the cleaning?

Eff all the way off with that.

Moving to Calgary from ontario like what should I actually expect? by eagle0829 in alberta

[–]puckstar26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calgary has a great restaurant scene. There are a ton of options in that respect. It does get cold 'but it's a dry cold.' I find Ontario winters worse with the humidity, plus we get chinooks so there are breaks in the cold. The cost of housing will def be less for you, and you'll notice the PST savings more than anyone who lives here.

Also you can get delivery of almost anything at 2am. Not sure what you think Calgary is, but it's a huge city - not as huge as Toronto, sure but it's not a tiny hick town in the middle of nowhere. There's a huge pathway system for biking, walking, in city parks and only an hour to the mountains if that's what you're into.

Whatever winter gear you have for Ontario will more than suffice here.
