Info
Calgary's Original Mainstreet
Inglewood's Main Street - 9 Ave SE - is the city's original downtown. Across the Elbow River from East Village and downtown it is nestled along the Bow River, accessible through the City's pathway system and framed by a linear park. It has retained much of its historic charm, with an edgy cool. The neighbourhood, awarded the Canadian Institute of Planners "Canada's Great Neighbourhood for 2014" accolade, is a mecca for live music venues, fashion, and great dining and is also a microbrewery hotspot. This vibrant Main Street and neighbourhood is all about “Shop Local” as it is chock-a-block with locally-owned, independent retailers, including internationally known cottage industries such as Smithbilt Hats. Inglewood's numerous historic buildings house several of the city's top restaurants including Rouge, winner of the Pellegrino World's Best Restaurants 2010 Award and The Nash.
