Dogshit hill on fire...

[Tik-Tok]

Anyone else see the huge fire tonight on Nosehill Park?

[robpark]

Dogshit Hill?

I think it is more like the pimple of Calgary...or maybe a wart...

Let it burn, I hate the place.

You ever been up there? Nothing but dogshit for as far as the eye can see.

Maybe this is how the city is taking care of the dog shit, slash and burn!

It lights up once every few years, what's the big deal?

I've never seen it lit up before (not doubting you, I just personally haven't seen it). Quite the flames. Lit up the whole sky around it.

A few years back (maybe 6-7?) there was a huge fire there that they had trouble containing. They closed off the roads surrounding the park because basically only the roads themselves were stopping the fire from spreading. At least that's what I remember.

It could be a controlled burn to get rid of some of the older undergrowth to prevent a huge fire if we don't have a very rainy spring/summer/fall. Maybe in response to the huge fire yesterday in the super-dry L.A.? Probably not, but maybe.

[Soren1989]

[Team_Mclaren]

The biggest urban park in North America and it's all shit!

I say fuck it, tear it down and build more houses.

[msommers]

That damn hill has one fire probably at least once every year. It gets so dry its bound to happen. All last year when my friend and I would walk her dog up there, I didn't notice tons of shit everywhere.:dunno: The mosquitoes were killer though!!:guns:

Thats what all of calgary would otherwise look like if we hadn't built over it :dunno: Its decent for biking around

Big lots with luxury styles homes and townhouses/condos.

A highrise condo/apartment building from there would be sick :eek:

on an unrelated note, people who let their dogs shit at nosehill or anywhere else in public without picking it up should not be fined but have the shit smeared on them; the amount of shit at nosehill is disgusting

[Canmorite]

I agree, its fucking disgusting. I won't go there anymore considering everytime I do I have to peel the shit off my boots.

I am guessing because Fish Creek is provincial it doesn't count.

?

the geography of the southern part of calgary is very different from the northern part. It has nothing to do with it being a municipal vs provincial park.
