Ah, thanks to a reminder, here’s the site I was thinking of for Movies in the Park which lists the free movies all across Alberta for the entire summer season. You can sign up for email reminders if you like.
http://blog.openaircinema.us/blog/tag/canada/
This isn’t the particular site I was thinking of but a good resource nonetheless. It’s got listings for Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Sussex, Whistler, Tsawwasen and more! If I do find that other site, I’ll be sure to post it but do check this one out.
http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_recreation/attractions/downtown/movies-on-the-square.aspx
They’ve recently added some more dates to the free Movies on the Square. Usually they don’t know what movies will be shown until closer to the actual date so stay tuned for updates. I’m wading through my bookmarks to find a link for more free movies in more areas so be patient and stay tuned!
It’s baaaaack! Get all your vintage valuables even cheaper on Monday! I used to live a block away from a Value Village and had fun seeking unique books and clothing and such.
Ok, Mr. Squires I waited all day to see if you would post this and you haven’t…. So I figured it would be ok if I took the McDonald’s reins from you for this one post. I promise you can have them back the second I publish this. 🙂 (Whew what a mouthful that was!)
Now for the post….. (drumroll optional)
Good Ole’ Mc’ds is offering $1 fountain pop of any size for what looks to be all Summer.
Not a bad deal if you got a thirsty crew! Especially at the prices of name brand pop right now!
What does huggable Grimace have anything to do with McDonald’s pop? Nothing really but he is kind of a cute for a purple blobby thing.

Like their motto says, “It’s a beautiful thing!”

There’s even a Facebook group about it already!

I’ve gone to a few of these and they’re pretty fun! They have a huge inflatable movie screen set up in Churchill Square and you bring a lawn chair, blankets, whatever. They sell cheap snacks on site including popcorn and canned pop and candy. They sell glow necklaces, too. Before the movie, they (smartly so) have about an hour of entertainment for the kids like putting contests and right before the show a super dance-off to wear them right out. It’s awesome! Fun to watch the kids dance and it makes the movie watching experience so much better because the kids aren’t running around. Even the bums stop by and watch. Can’t beat a free flick no matter what your circumstances!

I’ve never been to an Applebee’s although it’s been on my list of restaurants to checkout. Interestingly the only Applebee’s I’ve come across were either in the US or Europe. We don’t seem to have too many Applebee’s restaurants in Canada. When travelling I always seem to find somewhere better or a restaurant unique to the city I’m in to try out and Applebee’s doesn’t get any love.
Anyhow, if you’re an Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar fan you can sign-up for the mailing list to receive coupons, deals and other updates featuring new menu items and special events.
