*I didn't grow up in Calgary, but spent a lot of time there with my cousins in the 80's. I remember riding our bikes to a convenience store called "Rick's" in the SE where we'd get soft ice cream slurpees, and head down the hill to the park. Beaver Dam rings a bell, they had a couple big wooden play structures down there. For some reason, I still remember that he went to Banting and Best Elementary school. What area would that be in?
*I used to love Consumers. I remember buying Blades of Steel there for my NES.
*Bullwinkles was my favourite place on the face of the planet. Walk in, order the pizza, go play as many games as possible with our tokens, return to the table for tasty cardboard pizza and the same water fountain / animitronic show, and then back to the arcade to spend our remaing tokens.
*My Mom went to UofC in the late 60's/early 70's and told me that the South end of the city at that time was basically Glenmore Trail. She used to work at the bank which is now A&B sound downtown(or still was, last time I checked).
*Remember that old Ikea store in the NE?
