Calgary is BOOMING! A Downtown Photothread

[The Chemist]

From Saturday:

I started out from the James Short Parkade (where I always park when I go downtown on weekends, considering it's only $2 and it's so close to Chinatown and just about everywhere else).

TCPL - still one of my favourite Calgary buildings:

Hope you all enjoyed. This will probably be my last Calgary photoset for quite some time, as I am off to Shanghai for at least one year on August 25th.

A great photo thread. Took a while to load but completely worth it. You do Calgary justice!

[Calgarian]

Great pictures, I look forward to your first Shanghai photo thread. Best of luck in China.

[Waterloo_Guy]

Great pics. Calgary is really kicking some but. I can't wait to see what it looks like in a few years.

[ady26]

I like the Calgary Tower!

[Calgarian]

This city is going to look very different when you get back from Shanghai.

[Boris2k7]

Those Bankers Hall pics are particularly well done. :yes:

We'll miss you buddy! Give us lots of Shanghai threads!

[RockHillJames]

Stout!

[Thinner6]

Even better a second time through. Eau Claire is undergoing huge change right now. I'm excited to see where we are at when you get back. Best of luck in Shanghai.
