Nevermind.

Just a tad. Anyone who's ever seen even a portion of Detroit's bad side can attest that Calgary has nothing on it.

Reminds me of what an acquaintance said the other day, after that fight/attack/whatever on one of the platforms - he's so glad to have a car, so that he's not stuck riding the incredibly dangerous LRT.

Said acquaintance of course has no problem frequenting clubs like Cowboys and the like, where you have a far FAR greater chance of getting your ass kicked on any given night, but he didn't see the connection.

Or, for that matter, of getting your ass kicked in or en-route to the parkade.

Is Olympic plaza staying open as a station in the future? Its just one block from the new dual-station city hall platform.

Nope. Once the new City Hall station opens next summer Olympic Plaza will be coming out.

Unbelieveable! This moron decides to ride the CTrain couplers between two cars.

Warning: There is some foul language in the clip.

A Darwin Award candidate for sure.

Warning: they played this clip, language and all, on the evening news tonight. I think we can stop pretending it's 1950 and just assume everyone here has heard the word "fuck" before.

Edit: next time please warn us about the ear-splitting retarded chick. I honestly think I blew out my speakers just now.

Edit #2: thanks for embedding it though. Youtube in their fake puritanical ways (ie: spam gathering disguised as "think of the children") is blocking it.

Just a fair warning.

Not everyone likes foul language. But, I'm pretty tolerant of foul language in private, but in a public space like the CTrain, I'm not.

I think a guy attempting suicide like that is a wee bit more offensive than some words, but I'm old fashioned that way.

Anyway, I'm just teasing. I always find it surreal to watch something like Scarface be edited for language. Or those post-commercial warnings to the same effect: warning, we're about to show your child people beating the living shot out of each other on UFC, but be warned, they might cuss!

Looks good.

I'd probably combine a couple of the areas S. of downtown, but that's just me.

Nevermind.

srperrycgy · #**475** Posted **May 5, 2010, 3:52 AM**

I'd combine Inner City West, Inner Southwest and Inner City South.

McPaul · #**476** Posted **May 5, 2010, 4:02 AM**

I always wanted to know what it would be like to ride the in between parts of the train and now I know.

Anyone know how he got off? It'd be kinda sad for him to step off at a station and walk right onto the track of an oncoming train the other direction.

Very cool.

Nice work Frink. I agree with Sperry though, Inner City West and South should be one zone.
