Just wow. Montreal is much older, much larger and has many more buildings of "major significance" than Calgary will likely ever have.

The bow is wide, but I'd add it anytime to Montreal's skyline. I'd make sure to place it in the very middle of the skyline though, otherwise it could make it unbalanced.

Aylmer · #**4585** Posted **Jun 19, 2010, 12:34 AM**

Though I don't think that it would fit in since it is rather wide... Montreal's buildings are thinner and it would stick out in a bad way. It looks great in Calgary, though.

honestly dude its like not even worth explaining to these Calgarians. I have posted soo many DT photos of MTL and they never say a damn thing cause they know, I mean the density the buildings, like you said... Montreal is larger in pretty much every single way...Calgary will never have what MTL has. let me repost 2 photos i just posted.

^ thats the north side ONLY

there are soo many building look-a-likes in Calgary....I have always said, Calgary, a city with just a litttle over a million people has a pretty impressive dt/skyline thats for sure! do not get me wrong... But when you're trying to compare it to a city like Montreal is a serious Joke! honestly. lets be realistic here.

Put it back in your pants boys and feast your eyes on a 'real' skyline

Oh, and here's a pic from some place I drove through once:

Skyline comparisons aside, Calgary's endless ocean of single family homes can't compete with this, thats for sure. And thats just one borough!

In fact, you're the one who came with a comparison between Montreal and Calgary.

Montreal may have the dense neighbourhoods, but it lacks the multiple skylines in the metro area... Except Longueuil and Nun's island (and maybe Rivière-des-Prairies) but they don't come close to Mississauga or North Van (or Burnaby or whatever, I forgot that other skyline in metro Vancouver)

Retarded comment? I'm pretty sure I was only replying to your ridiculous comment first.

Pop Tart? Listen up Pepé Le Pew, make yourself useful and go separate from Canada.

Get over yourself & don't be an 🞵🞵🞵, you threw the 1st strike.

bob1954 · #**4596** Posted **Jun 19, 2010, 3:57 AM**

Sad thing is, there's people in the states that don't know were Calgary is, but most know were MTL is! That's not bad it's just Calgary's a newcomer to being a fairly large city.

Wooster · #**4597** Posted **Jun 19, 2010, 4:10 AM**

good god. stop it.

Actually most europeans over say 30 yrs old I've met remember calgary from the 88 olympics. Not many people from elsewhere though. It's a relatively tiny city still.

Wow... You're post screams maturity.

I never once knocked Montreal, so quit making all these un-necessary and immature remarks to make yourself feel better (You just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper).
You threw the first stone and I'm just calling it like I see it.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Go rant over here.
