I'm not sure I actually agree with this. On another forum in which I participate, this thread popped up awhile back.

If you read post 128, its by someone who travelled to Milwaukee to check out a Calatrava project there, and then stayed a few days to see what else there was. I should mention the guy is from New Zealand, so its not like it was a trip around the block either. (And he went to Milwaukee, which certainly has less going for it than Calgary, IMO)
Now, I'm not saying this bridge will turn us into the Vegas of the North, but it doesn't hurt either, and makes the city more cosmopolitan.
