I first moved to Calgary in February of '94 because of the mountains (sorry McPaul) HOWEVER I have moved away a couple times and always moved back for the same reason - and it wasn't the mountains. Rather, I have continued to call Calgary home because unlike Toronto, London or LA - Calgary is still a work in progress.
What I most like about Calgary is that if you don't like something about, just wait a day because we're building a new city and it's bound to get better and you can join in.
I grew up in Toronto in the 70's and 80's when it was changing from a "WASPy dowager of a city where you could barely buy a drink on Sunday" to the exciting place it is today. Calgary reminds me a lot of that. And echoing Furry - er, Rusty's post, unlike other cities I've had the joy to live in, Calgary allows anyone - and welcomes everyone - to partake in that change.
"Step in, roll up your sleeves and get to work - we've got a city/future to build!"
