Chicken is protein and protein is good for the muscles.

Not opening/closing news specific to Calgary at this point but MEC is being sold and the deal should close over the next 3 weeks or so.

What happened to MEC was kind of tragic.

That might be alright. Silverado has already been on the losing end of the Shawarma, Pizza, and sandwich store lotteries so far so maybe Churches would be okay.

I hate Silverado. My sister lives there.

Its just an endless cycle of poor construction, indecipherable traffic and self-loathing.

Its a miserable, miserable place. I'd rather live in Camelot.

Have they opened that 'Sherriff whoever' road yet? They built it brand new, tore it up, rebuilt it and it still sucks.

Also...Silverado is next to a genuine swamp.

Sherriff King is open. They just had to upgrade the sanitary trunk underneath it.

The Radio Tower wetlands are why we had to pay a water preservation levy when we built in Silverado 15 years ago.

Oh? "Sanitary Trunk" to the "Wetlands" uh huh. Is that what they're calling it? Its a swamp of #### and we all know it.

And I dont know who this Sheriff King dude is or why he merits his own (albeit 3rd-rate) road.

I much prefer the peril one can find in Castle Anthrax.

The shawarma is still ok. Previous owner was better, but we still go there after picking up groceries.

We found it was expensive and slow. We get our Shawarma from Shawarma Palace in Walden. Great place.

If you live in the area I’d highly recommend Deagla in legacy.

I like Bernie's in Tudor. It's not far from the new arena on 320th Ave.



I can make up places too.

Their troubles began when they built a massive HQ and then started being selective about their suppliers.

It wasn't working out when they were a co-op either - they sold to private equity to try and salvage the operation.

Silverado still doesn't even have a coffee shop and/or a gas station, so annoying
