But to me, that is set back by the fact that you have to commute to Calgary to do anything fun.

Funny you should mention that. My daughter thought we were in Cranston and going to see one of her aunts when in fact we were in SE Airdrie. If even a 2-1/2 year old can be aware of just how similar it all looks...grey brown beige cookie cutter suburbia.
Locke, we were going to one of those "once a year" birthday parties there too. Your description of someone living in Calgary never visiting friends in Airdrie definitely rings true in my experience. Heck, I think I saw him more when he lived in Cold Lake for two years!
