Rouge is defientely right about our airport. WTF were they thinking when they put all the way out by Leduc??
To answer Commondore Afro's question, a citys culture isn't dependant on fesitvals, but we have so many of them, and such diversity. There are also museums - not just the Prov. but others like the Ukrainian Village - & countless art galleries. Some artist don't even bother with galleries, they will make a gallery on a sidewalk. We need a winter festival though. When I was a kid in Calgary they had a huge sculpted snow castle by Princes Island I think. And to answer another question Edmonton's background is not western, but a gold rush town, the last stop until the Yukon.
Nightlife?? Calgary has 17th Ave, am I right? We have Whyte Ave, 124 st, downtown, and WEM. You would be shocked at the changes our downtown is going through! Of course our skyline won't be as cool as Calgary for a long time, but I'm talking about all the people who hang out there now. They also got rid of gross bars like the Cecil. When I moved back here 4 years ago, the difference now compared to then is incredible!
As for the city bashing here - I know most of you don't mean it. There are a few here like Rejean, Familia, browna, and Lanny who need therapy, but for most it seems to be all in fun.
But this is getting pretty tiring. Sometimes Oilers and Flames argue about the stupidest things, I swear.
