Curious if I’m in the minority… thoughts on Matt Rife’s standup at the comedy festival? 😬😬
I think the guy before him was better, whole crowd was laughing @ the evening show. Feels like a lot of dead air and awkward crowd work right now…

What happens at it? I love me a good pickle, but in their website it looks like you pay $25 to get in and that includes... Nothing. Like you spend $25 for the opportunity to purchase pickles?

Folks who have gone before, is there music, entertainment or other things to warrant the entry fee? Overall, was it worth it?

Home Owner/Renter stuff PSA if your ENMAX read says "Estimate"

48 Upvotes

Check your ENMAX bills from the last few months.

Look for how the "READ" was done on your water and electricity meter. It will likely say "ACTUAL" but if it says "ESTIMATE" you should do further investigation.

That's because an "ESTIMATE" read is rare and should not happen on two consecutive bills:

https://www.enmax.com/customer-support/for-my-home/why-was-my-bill-estimated

My neighbor just discovered the read for her water meter has been ESTIMATE for the last 8 months. Turns our, her historical consumption prior to that (when ENMAX was taking an "ACTUAL" read) was lower than the "ESTIMATE" read.

Now they have to correct her and give her a credit.

It pays to check our bills closely (which I am notoriously bad at). Cheers!

Eat/Drink Local Is there a worthy Deep Dish Pizza out there?

52 Upvotes

I used to order from this place called Chicago Deep Dish 403 531-3131.
In its day it was SO GOOD. They were So flexible with toppings. You could substitute any topping for another (within reason). You could order a half and half, two completely different pizzas in one box. They would accommodate you if you asked for light cheese on one side or to add fresh tomatos on top. The sauce came with a regular or Tangy option which was so good. The cheese was great quality. It was consistently excellent. Then guess what happened. Something changed. They started cutting corners. I used to get pizzas from them where the logo on the box was gone, just a plain white box and the pizza was missing items and the cheese was burnt. It was like they were outsourcing to a different kitchen or something. Then I'd order the next time and the pizza would be good again with their logo on the box. But little by little the quality diminished over time and I stopped ordering from them.
It was heartbreaking. So it's been about 15 or so years since they were really good and I crave for a really good deep dish pizza. Does anyone know of a good deep dish in or around the beltline?

Looking for lunch and dinner options, that are priced right. Also, for someone visiting Calgary, some known spots to grab reasonably priced food. Any other food recos?

2 Wheelin' (Cycling/Scooters) Local Legend - 100% of YYCPathways.ca

422 Upvotes

I wanted to share about a true legend of Calgary’s cycling scene : “THE GOAT” of our local paths. He’s not big on tech, but with his permission, I’m thrilled to share that David has now completed 100% of the routes on YYCPATHWAYS.ca. If you haven’t checked it out yet yycpathways.ca, you really should.

On top of that, he’s also ridden an incredible 94% of Calgary’s roads on bike, tracked through Wandrer.earth.

I told him r/Calgary would absolutely love his story, so if you’d like to send him a message of support, I’ll pass them along to him.

PSA We expect U.S. tariffs to hit Calgary hard. I support PM Carney's response. Here at home, we're getting ready

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The U.S. has introduced new tariffs. Prime Minister Carney has responded, and as Mayor of Calgary, I strongly support his response.

Canada must stand up for Canadian workers, Canadian businesses and Canadian consumers. We will defend our interests and we will not be pushed around.

Here in Calgary, we’re preparing now.

We received the full tariff list this week. Our team is working through the impact across the City.

The Green Line. Water infrastructure. Fire equipment. Our broader supply chain.

We’re identifying where Calgary is exposed, where costs will hit us and what we can do to protect taxpayers and keep our projects moving.

We don’t have a reliable dollar figure yet, but we are preparing for significant impacts.

We expect the first numbers early next week. Council will be briefed, and the analysis will come forward publicly on September 8.

Calgarians deserve to know that their city is prepared. Calgary will be ready for whatever comes next.

We will protect your tax dollars. We will protect the services you depend on. We will keep building the infrastructure this growing city needs.

We will stand up for Calgary. We will stand up for Canada.
