I feel as though I went to Calgary to explore and the area and location of this place was perfect. I made it to the mall. I made it to Calloway. I explored the C train. All in all good place, good location. But the drunks, strolling down the back alley and the sketchy C train users, approaching people for cigarettes is something that can’t be ignored.
