I thought i always wanted to move to Calgary to be nearer the Rockies, but to be honest the smaller town feel of YEG is a plus. Perhaps when they build the new downtown arena by 2016 the downtown will actually start to resemble a downtown with some spark to it. Otherwise it's just urban sprawl with a Starbucks every now and then...same as Calgary.

The pothole's in Edmonton this year are a f***ing disgrace.

Dunno mate,London,and Manchester are bigger sheetholes than Glasgow and Paisley lol.
I like the way that Edmonton is spread out,and theres no dog crap all over the pavements,the playparks aren't littered with smashed buckie bottles,and miss spelt graffiti etc..
Even the drunken native's sleeping next to bushes aren't as bad as the drunks back home.

Well I find I don't have time to admire it while I'm driving around Edmonton, because the traffic actually moves. :p North Vancouver, especially around the bridges, is very pretty. :lol:
