Why is google's downtown image data so old? It's new almost everywhere else.

Newsflash: you can see all the revisions in the top left right under the street address. There's like 7 versions of downtown...

Just seems like a stupid use of land. Could put a playground on it or something...

I don't think a playground with a moat of buses around it is a super good/safe idea.

It's one stop and by the sounds of it they're all single-route buses... the ones that run on 20+min intervals.

When I was doing AMA drivers training I think they took me there for some "advanced" skills training. That was a very long time ago though.

These private outdoor ice rinks that have a concrete base - their owners have dropped some serious coin on those rinks.

Now this is the reason I created this thread. I don't care about oddities that are a long distance away, I want to see things that are in or near Calgary that I can easily drive to to investigate/explore. Cool find ianmcc.

Didnt there used to be a WW2 airport in Cayley? Could be from a leftover era.
