We have the population and cultural diversity to become one of the great world class cities. What is with Calgarians inferiority complex to stay the little-big guy?

Not only that but there's not much to do in this city to be active, we only have The Flames... It's too cold, windy, ugly 8 months a year...

I ride my bicycle year round. Elbow pads and wrist guards in the winter though. If you don't like or don't like dealing with the cold then I guess, but still I think one can be active year round here.

I'm moving to Phoenix this summer (When it's a cool 110 F.. eek) and while it's not a cultural hotbed like Paris there is so much to do year round. Every level of sports imaginable, weather good enough to go running every day, hiking all year round, alot of great patio's to relax at YEAR ROUND.

If the Flames and Coyotes play in the post-season and I somehow make it down there for a game, you can buy me a beer at one of said patios.

If you've lived in Calgary long enough, it's a very, VERY boring town unless you enjoy the bar/pub scene.

I think what I am getting at is that I'm more interested in creating and driving scenes than expecting one to just serve me and my needs perfectly as it exists now. And in a city of a million people, its going to happen one way or another.
