so after spending a few days in calgary.. i am reminded how great the town is.... the people are amazingly friendly and helpful, the layout is wonderful, everyone is active and it's not the size of toronto....
some interesting facts though...
- calgary has some of the worst Urban Sprawl in North America
- calgary has the highest cost of living in Canada
- parking downtown costs $30 a day
- the cost of groceries is nuts... "Reduced price - Seedless Cucumbers $1.99"...
- the mountains are close and are an amazing playground for young and old....
- Calgary has some incredibly friendly and helpful people....
- drivers in Calgary... although Pick Up Driving Rednecks... give lots of space for cyclist...
also.... Calgary has the Flames and we have the Leafs....
Toronto has the G2o and Calgary has the Stampede....
sometimes it's too easy to see the differences....
i'd like to live there again.... if i could afford it....
