Apartment? Check!

This is where we'll be living as of Nov. 1st: Panorama Court

It was getting dire for a while there, but we finally found a place we love. It's about 2 blocks behind the main uptown shopping and dining district, a 15-minute walk from downtown, and walking distance to the river and lots of parks - plus easy bus access. AND they accept dogs! We'll be really close to all the action for Stampede week, so make your reservation now if you want to come stay!!

We're on the 8th floor and have a pretty good sized balcony (grills are actually allowed!), there's lots of natural sunlight, and we have two bedrooms and an underground parking spot. We learned that underground parking with heat plug-ins is major here for the winter. We'll have to buy an engine block (?) to heat our car and keep it from freezing to its death! Oh, and did I mention the walk-in closet?

Today we also traded in our TN driver's licenses for Alberta licenses, and learned that we also have to change our license plate out, so we're slowly working through all the boring technical stuff!

Anyway, we're off to walk Bosco and then see if we have the energy to hit up a sports bar for the season opening hockey game for the Calgary Flames - time to buy some red jerseys, since we will be living two blocks from "the red mile," the street where fans converge in one red mass for play-off games :)
