Bridgeland & Bums:
There are a ton of bums on the Edmonton Trail corridor between the Drop-In Centre an the Liquor store on Edmonton Trail and 1st ave. The further Northeast you go, the better it gets (one of the only parts of Calgary that can say that... ha!). I live just a few houses off of 1st Ave (the main street through Bridgeland) and I have seen one wanderer on my street all summer. Its pretty common to see guys in the alley before recycling day trying to get cans. The biggest problem I could see is you have to walk through the bum gauntlet known as Langevin Bridge for your shortest route to downtown. But if you don't live near the liquor store or Edmonton Trail, it's a pretty quiet place. Too quiet for a couple young guys moving downtown for the first time, you'll find it too far from the action.
