I can't say i'd ever want to live in Calgary again but I've got memories.. Going to my old schools, neighborhood's, ect will be pretty cool.

Those dogging me for wanting all dat food, as if you guys don't hit up an In-N-Out the second you see one in the USA... I doubt Adam has even left Alberta to be honest.

-Edworthy Park will also be on my list and probably a dinner on top of the Calgary tower.
-Was Bragg Creek rebuilt after the flood??
-Calgary Zoo??

In addition to Anju and Insadong, there is also Seoul Korean BBQ on Macleod. All three are great but I'd say Insadong and Seoul are more authentic BBQ and Insadong is less frills and costly.

A ghostly ruin. They renamed it "Detritus Creek."

Of course. They built all new trees and shrubs, along with deer and bears. It was as successful as the Saddledome flood renovations.

She took me out to Six Flags in Vallejo CA and a few other theme parks. Calaway would seem like a kids playground in comparison.

Did they expand it at all?

Given your contributions to the thread, and the forum, I'm not sure you should be throwing stones from your glass house.

You guys laugh at the Bragg Creek comment but Elbow Falls was completely ####ed up and have they rebuilt all the picnic areas and stuff yet?

Little secret....there are a couple a&w's in AZ. If you got a serious teen burger Jones in the future, spin on up to Camp Verde. Friendly local militia and vaguely authentic burgers.

If you want to try something different when you're here, do a hike and dinner at Mt Engadine lodge. 25kms from Canmore and wicked cool.

Mostly in the areas frequented by tourists (downtown, around the airport, also motel village by the University/McMahon and parts of south Calgary). Closest one to Signal Hill is Grey Eagle on the Tsuu T'ina reserve.

I assumed there would be A&Ws all over the place. I did a search on Google maps of A&Ws, and was amazed at how many there were that are permanently closed in Arizona. There are four still left, but the closest one to Gilbert is an hour away. That is way to far to drive for a burger.

I rarely get those (for good reason), so I apologize for missing that one. Thanks.

Japanese Village is still open, and they still tell the exact same jokes.

Mushroom from.....my basement.

Shrimp from....bow river.

Just so you're aware it's on the Reserve adjacent to Glenmore and 37th and is a massive complex with a casino
