I grew up in Kensington, and I miss the North Hill mall movie theatre and bowling alleys. The last movie I got to watch at theatre before it closed in 1997 (1998?) was the re-made Star Wars films, and my friend's hot sister with the nice set of jugs worked there and gave us free popcorn. As for the bowling alleys, probably about the most classic set of lanes you could get in Calgary - Fairview Bowling I believe it was called. Ah, good times.I also miss the McDonald's on 4th street and 20th ave. NW had the big Golden arches, akin to the 50's style era. Miss that place too.
