It is certainly an odd sentence. I thought she was saying "you have to walk past dirty areas, dive bars, local people and crack houses" which is kind of funny.
And no offense to Calgary, but if I'm a New Yorker and I want somewhere to go for a cultural vacation with fancy concerts and nice meals, I'm not going to pick Calgary. It's a strange article. Sort of like if the Calgary Herald ran a travel story about New York City and told us all about the wide open spaces and enjoyable nature to be found there.
That being said, it is good that someone is saying that we have a little more to offer than rodeos and pancakes. Like a couple other guys, there are things in there that I'd never heard of.
