downtown - Lethbian Love

Boom! Kapow! I Do!

April 14, 2021March 25, 2019 by Jonny

Who silently gets married in a comic shop and lets it spill to social media? The Lethbian Lovers do, that’s who.

We chose to have our wedding in the presence of the God of Thunder at Kapow, and we’d like to share some of that with you.

Getting to know Lethbridge, just a bit more

April 2, 2013 by Jonny

I've met quite a few people whose first impressions of Lethbridge were from Lethbian Love. Some even because good friends. If you're moving to Lethbridge, a student coming to college or university, or just a tourist passing through, chances are you want to soak up as much information about the city and surrounding areas as possible. …

Helena Bonham Carter…in Lethbridge?

March 28, 2013 by Jonny

Old news to some (happenened back in August '12), though news to me. It's like when Lady Gaga was in Lethbridge…but who knew? Anyway, Helena Bonham Carter somehow took a wrong turn down some street in Hollywood and ended up in our city, at Silla Designs. I don't know if she actually bought anything, or maybe …

This is the best thing you’ll see all summer.

Hey, long time no see. Here's my awesome optometrist, Dr. Len Ferguson, raving at the Lethbridge Electronic Music Festival. This makes me love him even more: UPDATE: He's even got his own animated caricature now! JonnyI’m a webslinger located in Lethbridge, AB.

Flashmob wedding proposal in Galt Gardens

I’m about 4 months late on this one, but it’s sweet nonetheless. I actually know the girl 🙂 Kate had been on an afternoon treasure hunt with a friend… at the last stop, her boyfriend Keith, with some great friends and family, greeted her with this… JonnyI’m a webslinger located in Lethbridge, AB.

The Word on The Street

September 25, 2011 by Jonny

I took in a bit of “The Word on the Street” festival this afternoon. The streets around the Lethbridge Public Library were closed off for presenters, booths and FOOD. I ate a hot dog.

Sunday, September 25, 2011 marks the day that Lethbridge joins Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax, Kitchener and Saskatoon in hosting the national Word On The Street Festival and celebration of literacy.

Hosted by the Lethbridge Public Library, the Lethbridge festival is designed to be a playful, all-ages, spill-out-into-the-street community event with something for everyone to see, hear, do, and of course, eat!

More photos after the jump.

Galt Gardens gets night safety lights

December 2, 2010 by Jonny

To please the sun-god, Lethbridge holds a “Festival of Lights” each year. To mark the tenth year of this celebration, a new choreographed light show has been installed in Galt Gardens and a hobo clad in red opens his lap to the children, amongst other ceremonial things. 10th Annual Bright Lights Festival JonnyI’m a webslinger …

The Wilderness Downtown

September 6, 2010 by Jonny

Chris Milk made a neat interactive music video that uses HTML5 and Google maps to make a custom music video about the place you grew up in. My hometown happens to be Lethbridge, so it’s pretty boring. The Wilderness Downtown (via BoingBoing) JonnyI’m a webslinger located in Lethbridge, AB. I love all things nerdy, like …

I got a limo that’s 40 feet long

May 12, 2011August 28, 2010 by Jonny

…or “I’m takin’ it easy, takin’ the bus” But not really. This is a rant about my experience of taking L.A. Transit or whatever it’s now called – let’s say the bus – about a month ago. I felt like being green (more than just in the face) and adventurous; and because it was the …

Watch a man as he walks around downtown talking

October 30, 2009 by Jonny

Here’s a mostly-boring walking tour of historic downtown Lethbridge. If you listen closely at 5:00, Ted refers to the Henotic building as the "fucking #1 fire hall." He must really like it! Also, the guy at 6:30 has a nice strut. Now please tell me I wasn’t the only one who kept looking at his …

Edit Shoppe has moved!

May 29, 2009 by Jonny

For those of you who are fans of Edit, Lethbridge’s sustainable and eco-friendly clothing shop, Joanne writes to say they moved down the street to a bigger and better location: Our new shop is located on the same street, just one block down: 315 6 Street South (just beside the ATB bank) We are a …

It’s Historic Lethbridge Week!

May 5, 2009 by Jonny

This week celebrates the people and stories of our city, featuring concerts & exhibitions, film screenings, kid events, lectures & literature and other special events. The theme is the dirty 1930s. But why have I not heard of this week before? Perhaps because it’s a tad boring with events like “Knitting Time’s Wool Challenge,” where …

Edit: Stylish & Sustainable Shopping

March 9, 2009 by Jonny

Despite all appearances, I’m quite fashion conscious. Take this burlap sack, for instance. The weaving is so exquisite, it hardly makes my skin raw. Though I’m told red suits me…

As Spring is soon upon us, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to freshen up my wardrobe for the upcoming season. So this past weekend, I headed downtown to meet Joanne Maharaj, a talented designer and the owner of Edit.
