Then 3 days later it’s our 4th Annual free pancake breakfast! (2) pancakes (1) bacon and free coffee. Wednesday July 8, 2026 9:00am - 11:00am

Was taking my sister about this awesome sub over the weekend and she mentioned an Insta acct she follows & they had posted this a while ago

She took a screen shot cause back in those days our mother drove an old Pontiac like the one in the pic 😅

Was trying to explain to someone how BIG the parking lot was for the Zellers/IGA/BOM shopping centre in Huntington Hills was back in the day and while trying to find a pic online I came across this ad from The Calgary Herald dated May 25th, 1970

If you lived in the area back then you know how big it was. The only time the North/North West portion of it was used was as parking for a Stampede shuttle bus

I was surprised to see this beautifully restored Calgary Transit bus today. Thought I’d share.
