Link to a Google map of pokespots around Calgary. It is not complete, I added a few that weren't on there but it helps.

Realtor here in Victoria is getting pretty creative...
Holy hell, a 1900 sq ft home out here going for less than $600k is the more shocking part of that ad.

I say that when it comes to people leaving the baseball field or hockey rink. You know everyone is boozing, especially at a slo pitch game.

I don't think the Island market has gone up the way the lower mainland has.

Quick glance to me looks like the most efficient areas in each quadrant look like Prince's Island (Concentration 11 plus 1 gym, 17 if you include Eau Claire DT), St Mary's University (Concentration 6, 8 if you include church nearby SW), Research park (concentration 7 plus 1 gym in NW), Village Square (Concentration 8 plus 2 gyms NE) and Friends of Fish Creek (Concentration 6, plus 2 gyms SE)

I looked at the areas that were more enclosed, so an individual would be less likely to just wander into traffic. Of that list, Village Leisure Centre is involved with the most roads.

You'd be wrong. It's not quite as insane but it's crazy here, too. Average price of a detached single-family house is above $700k.

I was down at Eau Claire last night and there were probably 250 people playing between midnight and 1 AM. Everyone walking around with portable batteries and playing in big groups. Everyone having a great time, catching some Pokemon and walking back and forth between the 7 lures that were constantly there.

When I finally get this, there's a pokestop literally outside my condo unit. Nice.

Downloaded today. There's a gym in the park across the street, I don't even have to leave my house to hit it. It's on.

So apparently Prince's Island is a hot spot for stuff in this game, will be interesting to see what happens when Folk Fest closes most of it off.

The 37-year-old shooter believed they were criminals when one said to the other "Did you get anything."

That's when the man stepped in front of their car, brandished his weapon and ordered them not to move. The car sped off and the man fired at it, believing it had tried to strike him.

The shooter was not identified in the story, though the Pokémon the teens were hunting at the time were: Marowak and Tauros. They didn't tell their mother about the incident until she kind of noticed the bullet holes and flat tire caused by the shooting.

I'm seeing various articles, Facebook posts, and Tweets about this being officially released in Canada on both Google Play and iOS stores and yet I can't find it anywhere.
