I lived right there in Anaheim when I was going to college, from my apartment I saw the disney fireworks show every single night, right from my patio that overlooked the pool...

There is some good food around there...There are several places by there I used to eat. the best pancakes I ever had were at the Original Pancake House:

There are a couple of IHOPS that were mediocre, and a place called Millies that was pretty good...It was kind of a rough neighborhood though when you got away from Disney.

I had a little jeep at the time, and when I lived there, my stereo, speakers and anything else in the car got stolen 4 times in a single year. My storage area got broken into and all my work tools got stolen... I ended up taking everything out, and just leaving the doors unlocked so they wouldn't pop my door locks(120.00 fix). Finally the person got upset and took a knife to my seats in frustration.

After a couple of months my next door neighbor caught the guy in the act of breaking into his car in the middle of the day. He slapped him around and duct taped him up. He admitted to stealing the stereos in the complex; dozens of them. He was arrogant about it. Thought we were all stupid... It took the police 30 minutes to get there, and by the time they did the neighbors were all there, this kid ended up needing an ambulance too. Most of the stereos were recovered in his place; he didn't even sell them...Once everyone was done with him he never touched another car again...his mother claimed ignorance(with like 50 stereos and speakers, and brief cases in his room...
Too many people on both sides of the spectrum have fallen into this mentality that a full one half of the country are the enemy for having different beliefs...in a country based on freedom of expression. It is this infighting that allows the focus to be taken away from "we the people" being able to watch, and have control over government corruption and ineptitude that is running rampant in our leadership.

People should be working towards fixing problems, not creating them.

Living that close and in College must have been a blast. However the jeep thing total bummer. Oh wait a jeep in Anaheim with cut up seats missing stereo but a surf board on top you must have kept inside would be awesome.

I kept 2 pairs of skies for Banff or lake Loise. A crappy pair and a good pair i wouldn't leave alone. Had some skies stolen. Right now I have a fake security system on my truck and so far so good, fingers crossed.

I do remember seeing that building in the pic you posted but again I didn't venture to far from my hotel so I think it was more of an IHOP type place.  I drove to San Diego. I have never been on a highway like that and wow. White knuckle on the way back for some reason. I thought driving on frozen highways was crazy lol.

I love how you guys as a community took care of business, happens here to and as serious as it is. I have mentioned I live in a very ethnic part of town it's not far between weekends we get a show of people yelling and getting back at there relatives in a yelling fight. Asians and Middle easterners have a tendency to be harder on there family members then anything else. It does make for a good show. I saw a women beating her husband up and down the street and I think they must have been from India or Pakistan.

Women don't take as much as some think from that part of the world and I like it lol  Nothing like seeing a guy chased out of the house in his underwear LOL

*waves*
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse...A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Wasn't former Philadelphia Flyer/Broad Street Bully Terry Crisp your Head Coach for most of Calgary's "glory days?"

I hear Edmonton is a great place to live...

Ya Crisp was awesome, what Calgary did to him was pretty bad. Won us the cup then fired him lol. He was a character that's for sure. Good memory Mklsgl  :tu:

Between Calgary and Edmonton I would have to say Calgary is a nicer city over all. Less industrial her imo. You have family in Edmonton if I remember. They get colder winters to we get the warm chinooks quit often in winter, gives us a nice break.
