Born & raised in Calgary, and then moved to Irricana (45 mins NW of Calgary) about 10 years ago. Wanted to get away from the city itself, but still be close enough to take work there, etc. I lived deep in the SE and worked in the far NE and it took longer to drive through the city than it does from Irricana to the city. And not having to drive on the freeways was much more relaxing!
Bet you don't miss the cold weather?
Thanks!
Well, honestly, sometimes I do miss it. Not all the time, but sometime.
I remember living near UC campus on 17th Ave near 10th street. I'd ride my bike to work in the summer down 10th st to the bike paths along the river, and ride into the industrial parks in the south east of the city. Going back home up 10th street at the end of the day was a chore!
