The City has plans to improve some of the main streets all across Calgary. But just like a home reno, construction often takes longer - and is a worse experience - than you ever expect. So what is even happening when it comes to these main drags? We head to ground zero of Marda Loop's revamp to hear from the people who live there, the businesses that work there, and the City itself.

Can't you feel it? Or has the spirit aged out of Calgary, more than 36 years after the Olympic Winter Games hit the city? The bricks that line downtown's Olympic Plaza are the latest physical symbol of Calgary's Olympic legacy that may be going away - so we ask if the city still has a place on the podium.

Calgary's quirkiest neighbourhood is known for its independent shops, funky characters and unique vibes. But times are changin' in the city, and Inglewood faces its own pressures from chain restaurants and condo developers. Two Inglewood champions join us to go over the tug of war in town.

We backtrack the saga of the Green Line LRT project over the past few years to explain how and why it's stalled. Josh Pagé walks Anis Heydari through the votes, studies, politics and money that's led to a lot of cash being spent on a train that doesn't go anywhere yet.

With the Calgary Stampede looming closer, we take you behind the scenes of one of the city's most legendary hotspots for cowboys and cowgirls alike. We peek behind the saddles at Ranchman's, with someone who has worked there for nearly four decades!

You read that name right. Calgary almost had a freeway called the 'downtown penetrator' — almost! The CBC's Jason Markusoff drops by to explain how Calgary nearly pierced through the core of the city, with what could be the worst name ever for major civic infrastructure.

Another month, another bump in housing prices. Condos, duplexes, detached - doesn't matter. Real estate agent Nadine Faule walks us through what it's like to be a buyer out there.

All that twang had to come from somewhere! Local ethnomusicologist Mike Tod offers us a history lesson, and Southern Alberta's own country star MacKenzie Porter joins us from Nashville to talk about today's country sound.

It's cycling season in Calgary (if you're not one of the hardcore winter riders putting us all to shame) and the e-bikes are out. We talk about what you can — and what you can't — do on an e-bike, with someone who really loves them.

Yeah, it's pothole season. And this year, it FEELS like there are more cracks and crevices than usual. It's not just a feeling! We have facts! The city's chief pothole filler tells us how many there are, and how you can get the one that wrecked your alignment fixed.
