Inglewood is actually a slight bit older than downtown Calgary, in that speculators started building here in advance of the arrival of the railway, assuming the station would be built on the east side of the Elbow River. The Canadian Pacific Railway foiled that plan and built their station and yards on the west side, but Inglewood continued to be a part of Calgary regardless. Today it is beautifully linked to Calgary, being on the Elbow River Pathway and the Bow River Pathway, as well as having road links to it from all directions. For the last few years, its bridge to the south end of the Zoo was removed as it was being replaced by a new bridge, which is now open. Inglewood has it all, with wonderful green spaces along the Bow River to the north and east, oodles of independent cafes, restaurants and shops on 9th Avenue, as well as a couple of blocks of the centre of the community at 9 Av & 13 St SE, where there is a parking lot. The Folk Festival has its Festival Hall in the community, where it hosts concerts and events, and there are even a couple of live music venues. But even with all these fun things to do, it remains a real residential community with many beautiful homes.

Katie Ohe is an Alberta treasure, and she has a new exhibit at the fabulous Esker Foundation Gallery. Kids will absolutely love many of the exhibits, as you are encouraged to touch and set some in motion (others are not to be touched). As a UofC alumnus, I was familiar to see the stunning "Zipper" statue, but I didn't know how many cousins it has, every one gorgeous. I would say: If you haven't been to Esker recently, just go! I've never experienced a dud here!
