And bearing that, Calgary is NOT a great city. It is a safe, clean city that satisfies your typical 'steak and potatoes' crowd, but doesn't do anything for contemporary thinkers. That trend is starting to turn, but very slowly, and with much resistance.
I remember Death Cab for Cutie coming to town last year, and commenting that it was the most boring place they've ever visited. No culture whatsoever. Architecture obviously included.
