Its the mark of being a bigger City. The bigger and more varied the city the more and better weirdos.

Yeah. Sweat pants are acceptable business attire so why not jerseys?

Except during playoffs. But since its Edmonton that will never be an issue.

This is mostly true. I hate going downtown and avoid it all costs, whereas I loved downtown Calgary and would be downtown every weekend.

Overall I much prefer Calgary, but Edmonton is not entirely the hellhole CP likes to make it seem.
