Every place has some reason to live there.
Calgary is the best city in the world....
other than Jim Peplinski (Renfew Ont) and Fluery (Oxbow, SK) who has played in Calgary that was born outside of Alberta that stayed on in Calgary after NHL pay checks stopped rolling in?

Off the top of my head Jamie Macoun - and god knows there are alot more then that if someone wanted to look into it.
And please, don't try and compare Calgary with Winnipeg, they're really not very comparable at all.
