    Greetings fellow calgarians.
    How's it goin', EH?

    As a native Calgarian, presently living in S.Korea(anotherstory), I feel the city has a lot going for it.

    The people are great, even the rednecks are friendly for the most part, unless you insult their truck or their bucklebunny.

    The winter sucks but chinooks are a blessing. The mountains are worldclass and easy to get to.

    The industry is corporate but the jobs are solid and the art comm is growing. ACAD was rated one of the best MM schools in Canada by Shift Magazine.

    The nightlife could be better but you can find what you are looking for. Cherry Lounge is great and the Gallery is always happening.
    Among many others...

    If you skate, Millenium Park is amazing and the Source park is the best indoor park I have ever been to.

    Edmonton = Industrial/Rundown
    Lethbridge = Fun but very windy
    BC is where it's at but very expensive.

    IMHO, Calgary is the happy medium in Western Canada.
    But try it yourself.....

    Have a good one....

    BTW - Oilers SUCK
