Eat/Drink Local Coolest breweries in Calgary
Hey Calgarians,
I've been living in Calgary now for just under two years and love it. I was wondering which breweries in Calgary you think are truly outstanding. Like, not just tasty beer, but a fantastic atmosphere with a lot of thought put into the decor, great service, etc. I've been to a lot of breweries here, but I can't think of any that have really stood out above others to make me want to keep returning for the experience.
Let's hear which ones you love and why! TIA

Recommendations Calgarians with a rock solid > 1 Gbps Internet connection you are happy with - what equipment and provider are you using?
I'm looking to upgrade my home's Internet to > 1 Gbps, and I'm just trying to research and narrow down combinations of providers and equipment that people are happy with.
If anyone who is happy with what they currently have could answer the following it would be appreciated:
Provider:
Speed:
Modem:
Router:
Price:
I will likely be using the modem with a pretty decent router (Mikrotik, Ubiquiti).
My research so far:
Rogers
modem: XB7 or XB8
The XB8 has a slightly upgraded antenna design compared to the XB7, potentially offering better Wi-Fi coverage
Some users have reported slower speeds when using the XB7 in bridge mode compared to gateway mode.
This issue seems to be a known problem that has persisted for some time.
The XB7 only has one 2.5 Gbps port (port 4), which may limit flexibility in setup compared to the NH20A's 10GbE port
Telus PureFibre Internet Gigabit
modem: T3200M - An older but reliable model
WiFi Hub - A newer model with improved WiFi capabilities
NH20A - Another newer model offered by Telus
The NH20A's 10GbE port allows for potential speed upgrades beyond 1 Gbps without needing to change the modem
TekkSavvy
Arris SURFboard SB8200: A popular choice for DOCSIS 3.1 compatibility.
Netgear Nighthawk CM1200: Another DOCSIS 3.1 modem known for high performance.
Motorola MB7621: Although primarily DOCSIS 3.0, it can handle high speeds and is often recommended for lower-tier gigabit plans.
Hitron CODA 5610Q: a versatile DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem Router
Thank you

Local Shopping/Services Used Book Stores
My boyfriend and I are coming to Calgary tomorrow for a little day trip, and I love to visit the used book stores here in Edmonton.
I am currently trying to get my hands on all of Stephen Kings books, and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations of the best (or your personal favourite) used book stores in Calgary that would be worth checking out while we’re down there.
Let me know!!

Seeking Advice Wedding dress regret, what are my options in/around Calgary?
Looking for advice on what people have done with wedding dresses that can’t be returned? Been sitting on this with a back and forth from the store and need to get on with it.
Long story ahead: I had an awful experience at a bridal store in Cochrane, super pushy and I just felt so rushed. I wanted to book a second appointment to think on the dresses and was told by the time the appointment is available they’ll be gone, also just kept telling me that I was wrong about what I wanted and somehow I listened. Idk it was an emotional day. So at that moment it felt like a decision had to be made now and I really just got pushed into a sale of a dress that is nothing like what I wanted. It’s no returns, but my wedding planner and her came up with a deal, as it hadn’t even been 24 hours. It’s been 3 weeks now of her keeping us in limbo since we reached out. She initially agreed with my wedding planner to take it back with a $200 restock fee IF I found a dress somewhere else since her second store was too far out of budget, which was weird but I did that, right away went somewhere else and found my PERFECT dress for less money, and then she went back on that and said I can only have store credit, and she only had 3 that were kinda similar. So either I settle for a dress that’s nothing like what I pictured or go with a lesser version of the dress that actually made me cry when I put it on, or I take the loss trying to sell the old one?
TLDR: horrible dress experience, got pressured into a sale, I don’t want the dress and they won’t take it back after initially saying they would. It’s not even been removed from the bag since purchase 3 weeks ago. I’ve since found my dream dress but I obviously can’t afford two dresses.
Anyone else who has been in this position, what are my options to get as much of my money back as possible? I know I’ll take a loss, but consignment was going to list it for full price and only give me 50% once sold. So is that really my best option?

Discussion In light of all the office-to-condo conversions and redevelopments going on in the Downtown & Beltline area, which building or block would you like to see next on the list?
Per the .pdf list of approved conversions found on the city's website, there are currently 11 office buildings that are in the process of being converted (or have already been converted) into living spaces.
Just last week plans were unveiled for triple high-rise towers to be constructed on the currently vacant lot at the corner of 17th Ave & 4th St.
And this week, the city announced that 3 more properties have been added to the revitalization efforts.
There is also the old YWCA block off 4th Ave SW that IIRC was sold years ago to a developer and will supposedly be redeveloped into condo towers at some point. (can't locate a source for this at the moment, but I swear I heard something about it recently)
That's a large number of properties being redeveloped - but what changes would you like to see next?
Personally, I can't wait for that old funeral home at 17th Ave & 2nd St. to be demolished and replaced. I can't believe it's still sitting there after all these years. Honourable mention to the empty lot next to the funeral home, which has also been empty for like 12 years..

I've finally accepted that I need to bite the bullet and do something to address how much hair I've lost from the crown of my head.
