I'm at an age where I can make a change with absolutely no consequences, if Phoenix sucks.. so be it, but I guarantee you I Highly doubt I'd even look in Calgary's direction if I were to move anywhere else...
I'm not trying to convince any of you that Calgary sucks... if you think it fits you, and what you like to do.. and are content with everything here. Good on you..
24 years is enough for me. Anyway, i'm exhausted with this topic and on a board where the majority of people live in Calgary my opinion obviously isn't a popular one, but I'm not afraid to say it's not all rainbows and lollypops in Calgary. |
Like a previous poster mentioned, relax people, he is just moving and not trashing the city of Calgary, he is merely bored, and needs a change. Its one thing to have civic pride, but come on, Sarich has his opinion. If you love Calgary, good for you, if you hate it, that is ok too. Sarich, whether its a popular opinion you have, shouldnt matter at all, dont you think, your not the first and certainly wont be the last that is bored of Calgary. Some just dont choose to say it, as it serves no purpose at times.
Calgary has things that I love about it and also things that make me hate the city as well. Then again, I have no civic pride whatsoever, no matter where i live, its pointless, IMO. If someone says something negative bout the city, calgary, it doesnt bother me at all, since they are entitled to any opinion they choose. I dont think Calgary is any better or worse than other cities(even Edm), just depends on what you look for in a city.
Good for you for moving away and experiencing other places. Whether its better than Calgary, that is a choice that only you can make for yourself. I am 30 and have lived in many different cities in my life and have my opinion on Calgary as well. I am here for economic reasons and because its close to my daughter. If not for those reasons, I wouldnt be living here at all.
Phoenix has a decent club/nightlife environment, and to top that off, you get MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, which is a huge bonus I think. Then again, these are my opinions. The weather is a bonus, if you dont like cold.
