EDMONTON — Welcome to Edmonton, the most sociable place on the continent.
At least, that’s the view of a group called the Responsible Hospitality Institute, which decided the city’s friendliness and spirit are worthy of an award.
The institute recently voted Edmonton the most sociable city in North America, ranking the Alberta capital ahead of nine U.S. cities including Pittsburgh, Seattle, San Jose and Long Beach, Calif.
The honour recognizes Edmonton’s success at creating a vibrant yet safe nightlife in 13 different entertainment districts, such as downtown, Whyte Avenue and West Edmonton Mall.

IMO, Edmonton is lacking in several areas but I think this is bang on.... The only other city I've been to that I'd consider as sociable is Milwaukee WI, part of the reason I love it there so much. The other big cities I've lived, Van & Cal, don't come close.
