A pretty accurate assessment. Other than Stampede and a few western bars Calgary is far more urbane than cowboy with plenty of good food and drinks in interesting neighborhoods. If the author had showed up on the middle of winter when the city frozen and quiet she would probably have a different impression however.
Nice to see Calgary getting some tourist publicity too as the economy needs all the help it can get. There are so many tourists who want to visit the Mountains so might as well try to get them to stay in Calgary for a few days as well.
