2003 silver Toyota Echo stolen from SW Southwood at 6 am on September 22 with over half a tank of gas. License plate KAS 255. Police case number 26434069 if you spot it.
High school student calling out Calgary transit riders who stand two-to-a-stair on escalators and block everyone trying to walk. Stand right if you're riding, walk right if you're moving — basic etiquette.
Warm weather's kicking off fall in Calgary — don't pack away your sunglasses yet.
Locals are asking what other homeowners chose for roof shingles after hail season. Class 3 quotes are running $1000 less than Class 4 — both laminated — and people are wondering if the upgrade actually gets you a better insurance rate.
Reddit's blowing up about new developments popping up in the north — low build quality, multi-family units crammed with zero yard space, and infrastructure that doesn't support the density. People are asking why they're not building actual apartments or high-rises if density is the goal.
Someone's been spotting a white rabbit on dog walks around Abbydale for the past week — definitely not wild. They can't adopt it themselves (have dogs that'd hurt it) but want to help before winter hits. If it's yours or you know what to do, hit them up.
A reminder to drop by your provider and check rates—one person just locked in electricity 30 cents per kilowatt-hour cheaper than their previous rate. If you save even $40 a year and thousands of other households do the same, that's real money. Riders and fees still eat most of the bill, so shop around.
A puppy, possibly a German Shepherd, was spotted wandering onto the road and into alleys at 70 St NW and Bowness Road Tuesday. If you're missing a pup or see it around the area, reach out to local animal services or watch for posts in local community groups.
WestJet's Calgary contact centre workers just voted 89% in favour of unionizing with Unifor. First collective agreement negotiations are up next.

A Redditor's been drinking Sun Moon Lake Ruby Black Tea from Taiwan lately—naturally sweet with cinnamon and mint notes—and wants to know if other Calgarians are into Taiwanese tea. They say you don't see whole-leaf Taiwanese black tea around YYC very often.
Getting mail-in ballots for the October referendum and the questions make no sense. "Sustainable levels"? How does "Albertans first priority on employment" even work? People are googling breakdowns because the official wording is basically unreadable.
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.
