This is the funniest shit Ive ever seen. so freaken petty, and I am so in!!!!
Oilers in 7, its gonna be epic!
in comparing whyte to 17th. the part of whyte that matters is maybe 4 blocks long. it is in that much space that we have packed 30 000 people post game, and it is not as easy as in calgary to get to whyte. 17th intersects the saddledome, so any drunk can get there no problem,(um.. how do we find a bar? says the guy leaving the saddledome, um, walk straight.) yet here in Edmonton where there is a little work to get to the party(ie, the other side of the city), we still manage to out party you. So what if some people set some fires here. I recall some shit happening in Calgary on your redmile too, and hey, whats a party without some fire!!! We have the loudest fans in the league, the best guy, I mean stadium full of people singing the national anthem. The team itself is not one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, aka the most boring to watch. I'll admit that whoever created the bluemile.com website, is freaken lame, and has no imagination whatsoever, and should move back to calgary to work in his redmile website. Unfortunatly the party and t&a is not in Calgary right now.
As far as the city itself goes, having driven both frequently, calgary in rush hour is far worse. when there is little to no traffic the roads work great. but there is a shitload of people driving in Calgary. We also, I believe, have the most greenspace in any city in north america for those times that arn't winter. And our music scene is freaken rediculous! I won't even try to compare the two. It would be like comparing the Oilers to the Flamers.... Oh wait....he he, oops. As far as skiing goes, Calgary has COP, and is closer to the mountains, but the mountains arn't in calgary are they? Edmonton has three hills within city limits, as well as Rabbit and tawatina a short drive away. so basically 5 minutes from where ever you live is a ski hill. and hey, if you can't have fun on any ski hill, you arn't good enough. I could go on, but I've lost my train of thought.
sorry about the length of this post, I've been busy with life off of the computer. I await some response, but probably won't be back anytime soon to read them. ciaobella
