Local Love: Pied Pickle Deli and Restaurant

[calzephyr]

A cheery number for Pied Pickle Deli and Restaurant. The historic building/stairs the dancers are performing on is historic city hall in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It's one of the few sandstone buildings left and actually recently underwent a four year renovation to restore the sandstone exterior. As far as I can tell, the restaurant(s) closed down around 2006--the last mention I can find is a job ad from that year.

As far as local commercials go, this one has some budget for the locations, music and actors :-)

That's darned good for a local commercial.

Totes! There's nothing stock about it :-)

Now I'm thinking Taco's Puttin' On the Ritz was part of a bigger 80s trend than I realised!

Quite! I actually looked up the original video to see if there were any similarities. I was born in 1977, so there's a lot of stuff that went over my little kid head hehe
