I guess you're right. Entering Calgary from the east you're in the flat prairie still, but exiting the city westbound towards Cochrane you're clearly in the foothills. It's an interesting place Calgary is in, geographically.

Is Atlantic Ave used in regular conversation among Calgarians, or do most refer to it as 9th Ave? I've seen Atlantic (9th) Ave written from time to time but in conversation I usually just refer to the area as Inglewood.

I too would love to see Edmonton re-adopt some of the historic (or even newer names) for certain key roads...

124th St - Edward St
105th Ave - Columbia Ave
97th Street - Namayo Rd (maybe change it to Namao)
118th Ave - Alberta Ave

Etc.
