I am Sure in the 800 posts some of these have been covered....

-McDonald's Pizza's, loved those things (or at least childhood me, did)
-A time when entertainment was more pure. If you had a nintendo, you judged a rental on the box art and cover. You also did not form opinions based on reviews, and you had no guides or internet to help you. And on that note;
-Renting movies. Man I miss picking out a VHS or DVD at Rogers Video in Varsity.
- Arcades. Wizards Castle in Market Mall, and waiting in line for 20 minutes to play Mortal Kombat 2 and challenge the teenager who whooped you quickly to the back of the line, or to beg your mom for another couple of bucks;
- Back when my Dad was a younger man. Wish I had taken him up on more adventures. As he gets older, he is not able to do things like Ski or even golf (He has a form of muscle dystrophy) and I miss hanging out with my dad when he was invincible.
-Pizza hut in Brentwood when it was an actual place to go eat, and not a crappy delivery place. Had many a dinners and birthdays at a Pizza Hut.

My list is kind of a combination of Calgary stuff and nostalgic stuff.
