Red Mile

[calgaryred]

A year back I thought I saw on the news the Mayor claim 17th ave as the "Red Mile" and unveiled a sign saying Red Mile on a street corner somewhere on 17th. I was down 17th ave this summer during Stampede and was wondering if it was still up, is it? I saw a similar sign saying center street but no Red Mile. If there is a sign up around 17th where is it?

I wouldn't be surprised if someone stole it. Who wouldn't love to have that hanging in their basement.

I didn't think there ever was a sign.

Melrose still has a sign on their bar front with reference to The Red Mile.

The sign was presented to Wayne Leong, owner of Melrose by Mayor Bronco, as far as I know this is the only sign and it's hanging inside Melrose right now.

Geeze yeah, but that guy needs a few cents to rub together. The extra money he makes from tshirts will help him make rent!

I believe you can buy faux street signs with Red Mile on them at FanAttic

The city recently did a survey to see if people wanted 17th to have signsdeclaring it the Red Mile. Although it won't change it's name, the street signs may indeed be changed to have recognition of it also being the Red Mile. That said I don't know what the results of the survey were, I just know they had it, as I took it.
