Well, I just moved here in May from Vancouver so.... I don't have any team loyalties yet Tho I am definitely pleased to meet some other members in my neck of the woods. I was never much of a mall person tho I am getting used to the "big mall" it is pretty cool and has a ton of stores, plus when the weather sucks I can still go for a pretty good walk.

Yeah, its nice having west edmonton mall around. If you're really bored you know theres something that you can do there.

Turbo~ Thats the same reason why I don't like Calgary lol, the roads are just so confusing and all the industrial stuff is icky. I love your Zoo though! Going this summer for sure after the baby is born.

Ha ha, had to laugh at that. My Auntie lives just outside Calgary and took us into Calgary so we could go up the tower. Finding our way to the tower was no probs, cos we just kept the tower in sight and parked underneath. Coming back out, the one way system sent us in a different direction or we missed our turning and we ended up driving around for ages til we found the Highway sign to get us home.

At one point she recognised a restaurant she had been to once and was like "Oh I´ve been there", so we´re like, "Great, so you know where we are now?" and she´s like " er no, I just recognised the restaurant" !!!

My Auntie has lived over there for years and still has trouble finding her way around!!! In the end we bought her a little compass for the car dashboard, so she at least knows if she´s heading in the right direction!!!

I'm loving Edmonton, it has all the big city stuff and almost none of the stuffiness of Vancouver. I've only managed to get myself really lost once, I called the OH for help getting home. Other than that once I had the highways figured out it's pretty much been smooth sailing tho I haven't driven a lot since it has snowed.

I still haven't tried a lot of the "visitor stuff" I'd like to get out more this summer and do those things. We tend to get out of the city 2-3 nights a week with fishing, hiking and stuff, so it hasn't been too bad.

With our winter trip to the coast this year I'm starting to realize that I miss the water.

I went to Calgary once for a work meeting, we stayed the night and I got to walk around downtown a bit. I remember this one place that was a bunch of kinda steep stone stairs down and they make these wicked good ceasar's, other than that I didn't get to see too much.
