Have you ever thought about calling downtown Calgary home? Moving to the core to be in the middle of it all? Close to work, bars and clubs, events, restaurants, that fast paced city life? We’ve been living downtown for well over 10 years now, and honestly It’s a blast! There’s always something to see and do, lots of places to go for walks, funky places to take photos, and there’s a nice variety of stores and services available within mostly walking distance. While downtown Calgary has a lot of things, it doesn’t have everything. Westbrook Mall<\/a> is close to downtown and very easy to get to on public transit, so we do most of our every day shopping there, other than a few things like Milk at the downtown Safeway. We’ve actually been going to Westbrook Mall long since before the c-train ever did, long before the condos across the road existed, even before the internet existed. Shout out to Dewey Stevens 25\u00a2 draft night!<\/em><\/p>\n We’re giving away 3x $50 Walmart gift cards<\/strong> at the bottom of this post!<\/p>\n Full disclosure as always: this is a sponsored post. We visit Westbrook Mall so often that we decided to reach out to them and ask if we can work together, and they agreed! 100% of everything is our own honest opinion.<\/p>\n From anywhere on 7th avenue downtown just hop on a blue line train (69 ST) and it takes no time at all to get up to Westbrook station. Getting home is just as quick but in the opposite direction. We live right beside 8th street station, which is super extra convenient. You wouldn’t believe the things we’ve been able to bring home from Walmart on the train. If you don’t live within reach of the train, there’s several bus routes that feed into Westbrook such as route 9, route 70 and route 111. Easy to get to from any direction.<\/p>\n If you need to take a cab or Uber, it’s about $10 – $15 from downtown to Westbrook Mall.<\/p>\n Westbrook Mall is the closest shopping mall outside of downtown and it’s variety of stores have almost everything you’d need for your day to day. Walmart for almost everything, Safeway, Marks<\/a>, EB Games, Bentley, Sport Chek, Shoppers Drug Mart<\/a>, A Buck Or Two<\/a>, Bank of Montreal, Westbrook Family Chiropractic<\/a>, a couple barbershops and salons, Pearle Vision<\/a>, Spa Lady, Phamtastic Nails and even a Dollarama (beside Walmart, outside of the mall) – see the full store directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n Did you know Calgary has a piano bar?!
