Why do trick-or-treaters skip older houses in Calgary?
I've noticed that kids tend to go past my old house in an older neighborhood to hit up the new infills next door. My porch light is on, but I don't have any decorations up. What gives?

I'm curious to see how the number of trick or treaters compares to previous years, especially since Halloween is on a Saturday night this year.
We're a group planning to come down from Edmonton for the Grey Cup Weekend. We're looking for a way to watch the game without having to buy a block of tickets together. We'd like to find a spot where we can hang out and watch the game, possibly with a bar nearby. We've been to a Stamps game since the early 2000s and are not familiar with the current setup at McMahon Stadium.
My friend is in the end stages of cancer and I'd love to take her to a Calgary Christmas market, but I'm worried about crowds and germs. We're thinking of visiting one that opens 30 minutes early for immune-compromised shoppers and their friends.
I'm trying to remember a radio station in Calgary that played parody versions of popular songs, including Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back, back in the early 2000s. I've tried looking online but couldn't find any proof of it.
I live in Tuscany and currently the highest speed that we can get between all service providers, is about 100 MB per second. Sure that may sound like it’s manageable, but when you live in a house with four other people at least two devices per person, not including tv, security etc… generally get speeds of about 0.10-0.50 MB/S. It is insufferable to do any school work online gaming or anything that requires a somewhat decent connection. Constantly switching between data and wifi can get something to load but no change in speed.
I'm in Calgary and I saw a lot of police and TV coverage on Parkdale and Crowchild today. Anyone know what's happening?
My niece really wants to go to the Calgary Stampede and I'm trying to get her tickets through the presale code but I never received one this morning.
I've been having issues with PC Express for the third week in a row. My groceries are coming at any time instead of within the window I was given. I've called the store and they keep saying our groceries are coming next, but they're having software issues. I'm starting to wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.
I've been noticing peanut shells everywhere, even in my front yard and on the sidewalk. It started with finding them in my backyard, which I thought was just from the previous owners. Now I'm wondering if it's something more.
I've been using the Dalhousie station shelter, and the heaters haven't been working since the beginning of the year. It's getting cold, and I'm worried about people sleeping there.
I'm 9 weeks pregnant and thinking about doing pelvic floor physical therapy to help with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I've heard great things about Moss Postpartum and their pelvic floor physiotherapists, but I'd love to hear from other women who have had positive experiences with pelvic floor physio in the NW. Specifically, I'm curious about recommendations for pelvic floor physiotherapists and prenatal yoga classes.
I was planning on carving and tossing a pumpkin for Halloween, but then I saw that the city's compost schedule is changing to biweekly pickups after November 2. I'm not sure why they're doing this right after Halloween, when I'm sure a lot of people have pumpkins to throw away.
I'm looking to buy a townhouse and would love some local recommendations on neighborhoods. I was initially considering downtown condos but shifted my search toward townhouses outside of downtown.
I'm desperately seeking help with someone who is well versed in dog separation anxiety. I've tried a couple of trainers but to no avail. If I could be pointed in the right direction, I'd be thankful.
I was walking down the stairs at Sunalta station and found two debit cards. They expire in '29 and '31. Will probably destroy them unless there's a better idea?
I can remember previous years where it was very cold, snowy and icy at Halloween. I can also remember early snow storms like Snowtember in 2014. But I can't remember a year in which we had multiple October snow falls before Halloween. We often get one, but two or three? There is still a week to go and we may get even more small snow falls!
I was parking in a grocery store in SE Calgary and someone got upset with me because I was parked a bit too close to the line. They spat on my car and I'm just appalled. I'm wondering if there's any way to report this incident or get compensation for the damage. I've got the license plate number of the person who did it.
My cousins are visiting from abroad and we're looking for a good club to go to in Calgary. We're all between 30-50 years old and want to dance to good music with a mature crowd.
I just heard that Walmart is opening a two-level store in southcenter mall in 2028 and I'm worried about the traffic and parking problems it will cause. I think it's going to be a nightmare.
