yep remember it well but Woolworths was further down the mall. not far from the old escalator that went up to Easy Street if I recall. lot smaller that Woodwards
Yup. Woodwards was like the fashionable department store and Woolworths was the disscount store. Clothes at Woodwards, toys at Woolworths.
Remember Chinook had the beauty of a store, Woolworths. very SAAN like. chinook has changed so much, not even recognizable anymore
It also had another low end store, “The Met” which had the same junk as Woolworth and Saan, and the odd thing about it is it also had a lunch counter in it. If I recall, it was lower level near Woodward’s (now the Bay).
Was the bakery mentioned above a Grandma Lee’s?
Also, Chinook had a Mark’s and Spencer, until they closed around 2000.

If you're looking for another great retro Calgary channel, Blendeture is one of my favourite subscriptions. It's a little more 1990s than 1980s, but still very good.
I remember on local channels when they ran out of commercials to play, they'd have these scenes of the Calgary skyline from a field, sometimes with a couple of horses wandering by, and strangely hypnotic elevator music.
I kind of want to find them again but can't even think of what to type in the search box..."Calgary local television dead air filler"?

Is there any way we can find out about what her incredible news was?
I remember when there was a channel that was just typed white text on a red background, it was news stories. There was a blue band at the top that did either sports scores or weather. And a green band at the bottom that did the other.
If there was nothing good on the other 3 channels thats what you watched.
