How about lived on plates of rice from Kobe Beef at the UofC for 4 years.

It's not Kobe beef....it's Kould-be beef.

Gone to see that lousy Steven Seagal movie "Exit Wounds" just to see the gunfight on the Centre Street Bridge.

Still there, it's your basic Safeway and Walmart mall with 1 of every type of store inbetween.

The King Eddy horse races were a Calgary rite of passage.

All together now: "In the meantime, and..."
(althought I grew up in Sask and know that off by heart)

For the old timers, stood on the observation deck of the Calgary Tower and didn't look up at a dozen buildings.
