These threads (or thread im not sure) always brings up some great stuff and all i can ever think of are the nameless arcades on 17th ave, the Super S drugs near 14st and 17th ave, and the '2nd hand Record/Book Store' right across 14th from that. Havent lived in Calgary for going on 10 years, but i dont think the Record/Book Store is there anymore. Man there were some treasures to be found there. Trying to remember the name, but its escaping me. Also recall Wise Computer Solutions across from McMahon (biking there from Scarboro area to buy a floppy disk (!) PC game seemed like going from one side of the universe to the other).
hmm... White Spot near Westbrook mall?
a veritable wall of soda pop flavours (which you could sample) at a grocery store on upper 17th ave?
more random memory blips...
