This is a unique store to get South American food supplies/products. Don't expect fresh salsas though.

This clinic is where I go for massages, acupuncture and chiropractic sessions. The owner have assembled an excellent team of therapists and doctors in this clinic. No need to visit other health clinics IMHO.

This indoor market is quaint as it's in the heart of downtown but still has charm. You can watch movies, eat out, visit boutique shops, etc. Though it's going to be converted to condos which is a shame...

This park is at the edge of downtown and worth exploring as it gives a majestic view of the Bow River, downtown, and the Rockies. Another great urban park. Be mindful of parking rules though...

This park is super cool as it's close by and there are many things to do and lots of people watching. In the winter time there is ice skating; in the summer there are buskers, outdoor Shakespeare plays, joggers, hip people, etc.
