People hitting the Max Purple at Downtown 1st St and 70th Ave have stopped lining up — everyone just swarms the front and fights for a seat. One rider missed two buses today even though they were early. Bus stop etiquette's basically gone.
Calgary's getting a dementia-inclusive park in Forest Lawn. Mayor shared it on LinkedIn — pretty blessed we have this.
A mayoral candidate is pushing a City Council motion asking Calgary to affirm belief in a united Canada, citing businesses slowing expansion due to separation uncertainty and newcomers expressing concerns.
The separation debate has people online making genuinely funny campaign videos. Worth scrolling through if you need a laugh today.
Street bull in Calgary has people fascinated. /u/O4Genius shot it with Snapseed and an S24Ultra and came away impressed with the result — the kind of vibrant, dynamic city moment that doesn't need framing.
License plates with PSAs are doing the heavy lifting. Someone's pointing out we need more of them — clever, visible, impossible to ignore on the road.
Parent looking for a spot to park and catch the CTrain after dropping their kid at Glenbrook school, then heading to work downtown. Sirocco Park and Ride's an option but doesn't work with an irregular pickup schedule. Worth asking in the thread if anyone knows a closer lot.
Someone spotted new cement curbs being installed around the city and noticed the asphalt turning lane is now a super-sharp right turn instead of the gradual curve we're used to. Thread's debating whether it's a traffic-calming move or just awkward construction. Tire marks all over it already.
Fish Creek Park is gorgeous right now. Head out this week and catch the fall colours—the trails and open spaces are worth the walk.
Someone's hunting for old-school photo booths in the city that actually print out the strips. If you know where to find one, Reddit's got someone looking.

Gladiolus are showing off in Calgary gardens right now. With enough water and sun, they're still going strong this late in the season.

Free Canada Unity Concert at the Confluence. Started at 2 p.m., running through this evening. Good vibes, live music.
Douglas Fir, Memorial side, and a new section for pipe work are all closed at the same time — detours from one project lead you straight into another closure. Sandbags have been sitting around for 9 months and mature trees got cut down. Locals frustrated these couldn't be staggered so at least one route stayed open.
Someone in Harvest Hills found a sweet cat in their backyard two nights ago with no chip and no tattoo. They named her Elizabeth Taylor and are sleeping in the garage with her while looking for the owner—but also, quote, "i love her. if nobody comes forward im keeping her." DM if you recognize her.
Roman Mavrin's CTrain photograph captures something haunting about the city's brutalist infrastructure. The shot, posted to Reddit by user Substantial-Soup4353, carries Mavrin's own caption: "The world may be made of stone, but we were never meant to become it."
& Juliet opened Tuesday at the Jubilee Auditorium and it's worth catching. Someone who was there opening night called it "oh so very well done" and highly recommended it.
Bike revving every 1 to 1.5 hours through the night near 11 Ave SW and 11 St. SW is driving at least one person to Reddit. Started yesterday, still happening. If you're in the area and hearing it too, you're not alone.
