I still prefer living here to Calgary, but if you're not really into the outdoors, it gets pretty boring pretty fast out here.

Also doesn't help that over 80% of any available entertainment venues have disappeared the last decade. Heck gorge/esquimalt are now have zero....zero bars for anyone in the area to go to. Bah, there's spinnakers but they close before 11.
Gentrification has really put a damper on working class entertainment. At least in my neck of Victoria.
Kinda sucks you have to go to either Langford or downtown for you closest entertainment.
