Secrets of the City: Calgary

October 14, 2011

Our favourite undiscovered spots (till now!)


Luna Blue

Have shoes will travel to this 14th Street Southwest
shoe store. The tiny boutique is halfway between trendy shopping
districts Marda Loop and Uptown 17, but set outside of the main retail
action. Luna Blue counts autobody shops and pizza delivery businesses as
its neightbours. Look for its bold blue façade to find footwear and
handbags including Lola Ramona boots and TSUBO pumps. Luna Blue, 2611 14
St. S.W., Calgary, 403-244-1644, www.lunablueshoes.com


Valta Bison Farms

Tucked into a 100-year old building in Ramsay,
this shop is a throwback to the old farm stores with fresh deli
sandwiches, sauces, dairy products and, of course, bison including
steaks, roasts and sausages. Valta Bison Farms, 703 23 Ave. S.E.,
Calgary, 403-237-9667, www.valtabison.com


Frosst Books

The building used to be a bottle depot before the
interior was renovated into artists studios and gallery space as well as
a bookstore that carries art, architecture and design books and zines as
well as artists prints. The exterior is almost entirely unchanged so if
you are looking for the bookstore watch for the bottle depot sign.
Frosst Books, 1018 Ninth Ave. S.E., Calgary, 403-265-2664, www.frosstbooks.com


Villa Firenze

Sitting comfortably under the radar but close to
downtown, this Italian restaurant has been serving homemade pasta,
sauces, pestos, sausages and foccacia for decades. Its the kind of low
light, long wine list restaurant where you want to settle in and stay
awhile. Villa Firenze, 610 First Ave. N.E., Calgary, 403-264-4297.


Flora

Dutch-trained florist, Sarah Mayersons flower shop on
Edmonton Trail is a chic backdrop for her custom arrangements and if you
arent the market for centerpieces, bouquets or succulent plants, there
is also jewelry and art by local artists for sale. Flora, 902 Edmonton
Tr. N.E., Calgary, 403-457-1175, www.floracalgary.com

    At first, I was skeptical less https://joyorganics.com/collections/delta-9-gummies , but now I guard them in my nightstand. They’ve evolve into part of my evening routine—one gummy, a cup of tea, and I’m tolerable to go. I don’t feel high or freaky, nothing but serene and cordial to wind down. The flavor’s in truth in actuality fitting too, which surprised me. No weird aftertaste like some others I’ve tried. If your perception runs a mile a in style at cimmerian dark or you’re upstanding vexing to cool after at liberty, these are undoubtedly value checking out.
