Inglewood is Calgary's oldest neighborhood. East Village is the city's newest. They're side-by-side, straddling the Elbow River. Together they represent the past, present, and future of Calgary. We'll explore them together in an urban adventure. Inglewood was just named one of Canada's coolest neighborhoods for 2023. It's home to funky shopping, historic architecture, microbreweries, cafes, and restaurants, from diners to haute cuisine. Inglewood and East Village share Calgary's "Music Mile", which starts with the National Music Centre--home to the Rolling Stones famous Mobile Recording Studio among other priceless musical artifacts. Also in East Village is a former mattress factory/warehouse that's now home to Calgary's coolest coffee shop, an incredible bakery, and an amazing farm-to-table restaurant (with a rooftop patio) run by a Top Chef contestant and Food Network judge. Join me for a vibrant and exciting walk through these two fabulous neighborhoods! There's always something happening.
·We'll start our adventure in Pearce Estate Park, which embodies the "old & new" theme of our tour. It was gifted to the city almost 100 years ago (a long time here!), but it has also just had some cool new work done, including whitewater rapids and river surfing! ·We'll then head over to Smithbilt Hats, which is home to Calgary's famous white cowboy hat and has made hats for many movies & TV shows. We can have a quick visit or take an optional tour if you wish. ·Next we'll stroll Ninth Avenue in Inglewood, home to music venues, cafes, restaurants, funky shops of all kinds, art galleries, and some of Calgary's oldest architecture. We could get lost in Recordland (music) or Fair's Fair (books) for hours--but we've got other places to see! ·At last, we'll jump over the Elbow River to East Village, Calgary's newest neighborhood and home to many very cool public art pieces and cutting-edge architecture, including the new Central Library and the National Music Centre- which is where we'll end our time together.
