“Shooting a picture of the crane, eh? Yeah it’s pretty cool how they build those things. I suppose over here it’s ‘what goes down down, must come up’, I mean about the old houses. I wonder where I heard that before…
Have a good day!”

“With Maggie and sticks it’s, ‘Go big or go home.’ She’ll carry them all around the neighbourhood. I have to be careful when I call her sometimes when she’s got it in her mouth or she’ll take my knees out. She’s pretty hard to photograph because she’s so dark.”
Another warm spring sun sets over Riley Park.
“It’s our one year anniversary! I planned Pie Cloud so long before I opened it that it’s hard to believe sometimes that it exists. It’s really about our friends and neighbours who come here and support us. We’re really thankful for everyone’s support. This is our way of celebrating one year and saying thanks.
It’s really cool to see an idea take off and be a part of other people’s lives. It’s hard to believe for me that you make something up and it becomes important to other people.
Well, we’re eccentric people and we seem to have found like-minded people who are into what we’re doing here; people who aren’t looking for a franchise or that sort of thing. That’s what Kensington is. It’s a little eccentric place and that’s special.
I lived in Kensington back when I was in my 20’s, but moved into the suburbs when I had the kids. All these years later, I’m back here in the neighbourhood. There’s something about this place that just gets into you and stays. It’s kind of neat how it all worked out.” Maureen DePatie, owner of Pie Cloud (centre), with children Mason, (left) and Mackenzie (right). Pie Cloud is located at 314 10 Street NW.
The Calgary Reads Big Book Sale comes to a close! Hosted at the Calgary Curling Club in Sunnyside, this book sale features thousands of used books for sale at incredibly low prices! The closing day of the event features the famous “Fill a bag for $25.”
A constant theme in this photo project has been construction and development. Even though the neighbourhood can look apocalyptic at times, I can safely say that construction is one of the many constant states Hillhurst and Sunnyside are in. I would hazard to guess that in another twenty years, the neighbourhood will be unrecognizable from what it is today, and the people who live there then will have their gripes about the construction that they’ve had to endure (that’s another constant state).
The rolling benches return to Containr! We can’t wait to see what the program for 2016 has in store!
Rainy Mays on the streets of Kensington. Even under a morose sky, this neighbourhood is beautiful.

Alberta Burger Fest is on now!
This wicked creation is the Pie Burger from Pie Cloud. PieBurger starts with a crisp, savoury pie crust base. Inside rests a melange of everything one expects in a great burger – premium Alberta beef, Alberta bacon, house made barbecue sauce, cheese (smoked gouda and cheddar), fresh tomato and greens. Mixed amid those ingredients is one of our fave burger toppings, a perfectly cooked egg, as well as a dollop of onion jam we crafted with a bottle from Calgary’s own Dandy Brewing Company. A fresh-baked bun crowns the creation.
Burger Fest is a celebration of Alberta Agriculture, Talent and Business and Charity.
