OT: Calgary, AB

Stay away from Calgary...its a sh*thole. hahaha

From an Edmontonian Calgary hater from way back.

Try calgary.general

Watch out for that MOOSE!!! There will be lots of wildlife, keep yours eyes on the road, not on the rocks and water. Lots of truck runoffs and scenic lookouts if you should need to stretch your legs.

I can't think of anything breathtaking in Calgary but if you head 2 hours north to Edmonton you can go here:

-Brian

Its the largest submarine fleet in Canada, has more operational subs then the Canadian Forces thanks to the Liberals.

You'll love the water park and discover that there is no limit to how prunish one can look when a whole day is spent in the park..lol

Snow...

I'm in Calgary.

Places to avoid? Edmonton. ;)

Check out

Places to stay? We have everything from $50 a night to $1500...Are you staying around Calgary? Heading to Banff, Jasper, etc?

And it starts...hahaha

Some great wheeling around Calgary....just watch out for the tree huggers trying to close down the trails...don't miss 'em, if you know what I mean...Gotta check out the mountains...well worth the hour drive to Banff or even less to Canmore. Isn't Sunshine Ski Resort open until June? and check out the wheelin...

Great place for views, but if you want great sports...gotta drive 2 hours North to Edmonton. If you time it right, you can catch the summer festivals in Edmonton and if you want great country music, check out the Big Valley Jamboree North of Calgary somewhere...and check out the trails...haha

Thanks all! We're staying in downtown Calgary, and probably won't be doing any wheeling. :-(. I'll definately keep on the look out for animals on the road! Tacoma is about 30 miles south of Seattle along the I5 corridor.

Carl Saiyed did pass the time by typing:

If you like Jazz, check out Kaos 718 17 Ave SW 403-228-9997 There are a lot of clubs on 17.

I used to work with a Canadian from Calgary. For fun I'd mail him Oilers fan items, like stickers, buttons, etc...

It's like the northern version of the Yankee - Red Sox / Ranger - Bruin rivalries!

Next week you'll be fine on pretty much every road as the real road construction season is just in it's real eairly stages here for the year. Once that really gets underway things are going to get really bad with how things are booming here and it's only going to get even worse now that the prov. government is just throwing billions around left and right for infastructure upgrades..

Downtown Calgary is great, but it's just like any other downtown...

You're coming to town on business?
