Crackmacs

Local online sensation Crackmacs has snagged Best Twitter Personality in Calgary once again. Starting back in 2009, the geniuses behind this business moved in near the Mac's Convenience store downtown on 7th Avenue and 8th Street SW, which has since been renamed Circle K. Very quickly, the two realized that living in downtown Calgary has its interesting moments, so they jokingly made a Twitter account to record odd sightings and unusual characters.

Fast forward 11 years and over 36,000 Twitter followers, this duo - who choose to remain anonymous - also has a hoppin' blog, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Instagram feed to entertain and educate the masses on any topic under the sun. The secret to their success, you may ask, is authenticity. From local food and drink to lifestyle and tourism, Crackmacs brings real-life stories and experiences to the online world, so that you know exactly what you're getting when you read their content.

The COVID-19 pandemic didn't close their business per se, but 100 per cent of their contracts evaporated overnight when it hit the city. A great tool for Calgarians to stay connected and engaged during this time, Crackmacs also runs a Calgary Discord server populated with individuals mostly ranging from ages 20-40 of all genders. Anyone is welcome to join in on their various chat rooms and channels on topics ranging from #gaming, #pets and #politics to #420, #pride and #selfies.

For all your local Calgary news, hotspots and entertainment, Crackmacs is the online place to be.
