Where in Calgary?
 

So some of you Calgary SSP forum members have been here in Calgary for a bit and as such, I'd thought I'd start up this thread that is sort of a hide and seek sort of thread except we're looking to ID the location of certain things/spots in Calgary that have been around for a while and that many of us have probably driven/walked by multiple times without realizing something unique was right before us.

So to start off this thread...

It's a statue, unsullied by wind, snow or rain, and has watched over it's road for over 100 years.

Post up your guesses - once ID'ed, I'll start another thread because I've got a few places/things that will be interesting finds.

The lions on the Centre Street Bridge?

Nope - one key clue, "unsullied by wind, snow or rain" plus the Centre Street Lions are still not 100 years old.

I'm stumped.

Mary at Sacred Heart Covent?

No, but you're so close - I believe she's outside and does experience rain, snow or wind..

When you say road do you mean railroad bed? There is that old rail bridge around there... But don't know of any statues inside something. Other than that Peterlougheed Building is old... Anything inside there?

Jesus at Sacred Heart Convent.

Spot on Calalb - Google Streetview's view of creepy Jesus, link, up on the third floor behind the window and yeah, at night it's pretty creepy looking.

Okay, instead of another thread I'll just add onto this one...

Here's a pic of a large human head sculpture in someone's backyard - the sculpture must be 7-8 feet tall. Post up the address where you think this might be in Calgary.

All I can think of is the unsullied in Game of Thrones...:haha:

Nice one Speedog! I was also very stumped. This used to be on my bicycle commute home, and I never noticed this statue.

22nd Ave & 8th St SE in Ramsay. Owned by friends of a relative.

844 22 Ave SE to be exact - stumbled upon this while cruising about Ramsay a coiple of years ago. Info on this sculpture...

K, this one might be real easy or not...

Where's the true Queen's Park in Calgary? Proper street address as it does have one.

All that comes to mind is Queen's Park Cemetery.
3219 4 St. N.W.

That's the cemetery - looking for the park.

The corner of 10 st & 32 Ave NW, little hard to pin a specific address as there doesn't seem to be a formal entrance.

Nope, that's the off-leash dog park. Google Maps has it wrong as well.

7528 37 Ave NW in Bowness?
