So much nostalgia:

- The bobsleigh and ski jump simulators in the Calgary Tower
- The old passenger station downtown behind the Palliser. (this is when passenger trains still came to Calgary - real ones, not the froofy Rocky Mountaineer) I remember riding the VIA to Banff and back when I was a kid
- North Hill Mall and the ghetto theatre there
- The old drive-in on 16th near Deerfoot
- Bonzai water slide on Macleod was awesome. Count me among it's victims - I still bear a small scar on my rib cage from getting my impaled by the valve stem of one of the tubes on their tube ride. Anyone remember Surf City out by Chestermere?
