Another Two Hit the Dust
Gnocchis's Ristorante and Dining Lounge on 8 Street SW and Saint Germain in the Arts Hotel on 12 Ave. have both closed. We are always sad to see someone's dream die, but to be honest we were never that fond on Gnocchis's, and Saint Germain had slipped considerably recently.
Closed for Renovations
Juan's Mexican Restaurante is closed for reservations.
Would You Like to Buy a Coffee House?
Kaffa Coffee and Salsa House in Marda Loop has closed after many years and is for now sale. It would be sad to loose permanently this long–time part of the community. Any takers?

Entertainment
If your meal company is boring, here are some of our favourite websites you may want to explore while pretending to look for the weather forecast on your phone.
Grant is completely bland and can be largely ignored, but he searches out spots like Knox United Church, Calgary and Macworld. Though usually he uses the internet for World of Warcraft. His realm is Lightninghoof if you ever visit Azeroth.
Dorothy holds the artistic portfolio and tends toward sites such as Artbeads and Fire Mountain Gems and Beads.
Right now we are both watching for changes in medical care in Alberta through Friends of Medicare and other global events through The Economist.
If the evening is really a disaster, go off the the washroom and look up some House of Dawson Media Links.
