I'm in Brussels right now and...oh my god. Traffic is horrible but that's because every single street is taken always with people sitting outside at a cafe or restaurant or bar. The dirtiest corner here is better than anything in Calgary ie: Stephen Avenue or 17th Ave. Also, there are almost no buildings under 4 stories and the streets are all winding and curving with triangular and interesting blocks (versus Calgary which is just a cold, depressing grid)
Told ya Brussels was great!
