I moved here right around, the mid 80's, 84/85. I know the city. The city was coming off the 88 Olympics. It was well known internationally and had lots to offer.

I think 4x4's posts is a better example of problems in Calgary at that time. Perhaps it is because you were in high school at the time, that you have a different view of the city.

Was it perfect, nope, not at all.

Was it a dump, nope. not at all.

Edmonton is a bump, Saint John is a dump, Newcastle (UK) is a dump.

There's a lot more to do and see these days than there was in the 90s. So, no low oil prices won't necessarily turn this city into a dump again.
