Hah, kind of funny how two guys who moved away and now live in California are telling a Calgarian how to feel about the direction his city is moving in.

I think at the end of the day, there will always be people who like the cowboy thing, and people who hate it. Both will continue to exist, but I'm glad the non-cowboy stuff is getting a little more weight and consideration these days. Personally, as someone who also moved away from the city, if Calgary was still the same town it was 15-20 years ago (where you didn't have much defining it except for things like the Stampede and cowboy stuff) I doubt I would've come back.

It's just so much more layered and interesting now for everyone.
