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.

Located inside Calgary Zoo. As I have mentioned in my previous review of the zoo, I don't like…read moreseeing caged animals so I was kind of forced to come in this zoo. I wasn't having a great day going around but alas, I found this place in the innermost part of the zoo. This place actually made my day. At the front lawn, we saw a red giant chair where our group held the mandatory photo ops. Then we proceeded to the left wing of the building where the greenhouse is located. There is a botanical garden with various tropical plants and trees that don't normally grow in Alberta's cold weather. After that, we went to the other side of the building and discovered the butterfly garden. Again, we had a good time snapping pics of butterflies in various colors and species. These butterflies are so tame that they do interact with visitors. That was a really cool experience. Outside of the building is a six acre garden where you can have a picnic,or sit in the benches, or hang out in the gazebo. Enmax is the perfect venue for any corporate events or weddings.

Fort Calgary National Historic Site of Canada is a square-shaped wooden fort on the west bank of…read morethe Elbow River at its junction with the Bow River. It is on the same site as the original fort, the present structure is a reconstruction on a 40-acre park. In 1875, it was Fort Brisebois by the North West Mounted Police. Then the fort included men's quarters, a guard room, stables and storage facilities surrounded by a palisade of vertical logs. The setting is a flat parcel of land which slopes gently towards the river & supports several large trees. Official recognition refers to the parcel of land that is approximately 12 hectares surrounding the location of Fort Calgary.

I visited this venue on Sunday September 28/25 to check it out after hearing rave reviews…read more Unfortunately my visit was far from that. I arrived approximately 30 minutes prior to closing and was met with staff that were not engaging and felt like a hindrance. Asked if kitchen was still open at which point the chef had to be consulted. Answer was "five minutes" so ordered my Pinot and ordered a pizza for takeout. During that time I was met with no eye contact or acknowledgment that I was even there. Upon completion of pizza I basically downed my wine and hit the road. Horrible experience. The only good thing about it was a homeless person received what I imagine was a wonderful meal.

Ironwood was only moderately busy, which is a shame as it should be packed. The food and service was fabulous and prices reasonable ($20 for a 2 full Course prix fixe menu). Restaurant is decorated in a very funky way with lots of mood lights. There is a small semi-private back room that would probably seat 10 people or so, so might be useful for group meetings. They tell us that if you're into jazz, that late in the week and on weekends they have jazz nights (if you're into jazz...). Another reason to patronize this restaurant. Highly recommend. I will be back.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was served and no drink was left empty to miss a toast. When someone was speaking on the stage or singing the servers were discrete yet still serving. A great night was had by all. Extra kudos to the female assistant manager that night ( she had dark hair) she was great. Thank you.
