I have hated going DT for a couple of decades ... parking and the just the nuisance of trying to find parking and the traffic is maddening. I generally avoid going DT ... as a rule or even going anywhere during rush hour. If I go to, say the World of Wheels at the Stampede Grounds, I will often catch the LRT to avoid the parking fiasco. Calgary covers a large area and people live all over ... SW, NW (although there seems to be quite a few of us in the NW) ... not too many in the NE that I can think of ... I know of one person DT ... SE? A few ... not as many whom I know of ... Probably a spot not too far off of a Trail would be about the best you can do. Note that it is quite a time commitment to go somewhere in this city due to sprawl etc. It just takes time ... curse of a larger city I guess. In fact, I have some business to tend to in the SE Industrial area but have put off for a couple of months already because it is too far to drive for just one item. I am waiting for a job or something near there so that I can make the trip "worthwhile".
