If you're afraid to stand on a c-train platform you're likely equally afraid of children under 7.

maybe not scary if you are addicted to crack, meth, etc

the we use to be their plumbers and even in the middle of the day that place is fucked

i saw a guy sit down on the curb, then i went into the pub and figured out what tools i needed and go back to the truck and the same guy is lighting something up, then when we go to leave he is wandering around the parking lot yelling shit and he had pissed himself. oh and not to mention every time i left the pub to go to the van there was a group of what i would have to assume was dealers and addicts standing blocking the door

was pretty funny though, would see a gang of bike cops cruise by and everyone would disappear, then five minutes later would all come back :rofl:

just kept happening over and over again

I believe you could use "Original Poster" as a noun, so you wouldn't necessarily need to use "the".

However, I am not an English major...

Oh, scariest place in Calgary is definitely NW, like Macewan ish. Fucking sketchy with all those like, hills and shit. Coyotes could fucking eat you up there.

Calgary is a big pussycat compared to other cities. :drama:

i dunno how you guys grew up, but walking by people fiending for crack or giving the ol' rape-eye isn't my idea of a good time. i'm not saying it's horror movie scary, but the general ambiance of the place is not exactly a good time. you know what? fuck justifying my response. if you're not scared of the marlborough platform, what the hell kind of company do you keep?

I used to live in a poorer part of Toronto, Calgarys a walk in the park compared to there.

if they were just on the booze it would not be so bad, but people like that do not give a shit and are unpredictable in their action, that is what is scary

and the scariest place in calgary is in no way comparable to other larger cities... thats why it is the scariest place IN CALGARY not canada or North America

None of those places are scary maybe if your not used to seeing a lot black people or natives in one spot, that might seem scary to you...and why be scared of a crackhead? I'd rather be friends with them...shit they'll sell you a InDash DVD for $20 or 360 for $50. Man I was hoping this was a creepy spot thread, like under the bridges on Bow River heard they have bats:eek:

I just passed thru the most terrifying place in Calgary and made it out without as much as a scratch: the T&T parking lot in Harvesy Hills.

I even saw a parking lot accident while in the Timmy's drive thru lineup. Asian drivers are scary, but on mass in their Honda Odyessy's and Camry's... :cry:

To get into downtown from where I live usually means crossing the Langevin bridge and driving past the Cecil... If I have to stop at the lights in front of it, I make sure that my doors are locked and I don't make eye contact. You see cop cars all the time driving into the grassy area across the street...

Willie Bobo

03-07-2009, 11:35 PM

i've driven into downtown a bunch of times since the cecil was closed and i can't remember seeing any of the dealers or crackheads on fourth ave. their main hangout at the entrance to the pub has been boarded shut. i've seen some homeless walking in the area, but that's to be expected with the shelter there and all.

This was definitely pre-closure. You would definitely see some interesting characters in front of the pub. Or, if you went left after the bridge, some even more interesting types hanging out under the overpass...

Not only does this not make sense because the darkness shouldn't ever have HID stopping abilities, but you whipped out your cell phone to take a picture of how scary it is to be driving while driving?

I also do the SAME THING! On the flyover, I immediately check if my doors are locked. Stopping at the lights near Cecil instantly makes me look at my locks, even though I already know it's locked.

That is such a bad spot for a drop-in centre, especially if tourists are coming into downtown from that side.

It's not like entering downtown near Talisman is great too; you pass cemeteries.

But other than that, Calgary isn't bad. In the Philippines, muggers scope you out the moment you get out of your building. And there's guards at McDonald's. :dunno:

It does make sense, the HID's are in a housing which has cutoff as well - but are aimed to for example - another cars rear bumper line when up close. So, the cutoff eventually makes it to the ground due to aiming. I'll be honest, it was dangerous to take a picture while driving - no justification. I was doing 60, and driving on a straight road. But I understand where you're coming from.

It was scary, I don't know if you've driven back there but @ since the construction - there is no light posts or anything. Basically, you're looking into darkness. Light output has limits, I'm sure.

One threw down her coat and stepped up on the other one, then a beer rolled out of her jacked down the stairs... hahha.. it was lucky beer... hah..

Anywho, they didnt really get to punching or anything just alot of yelling and calling each other fat, and hand motions... both of em were fat.. and drunk.

The 8th ave station is worse than that. East Villiage Downtown is also a place to avoid.

Not in Calgary, but nothing beats the Harlem or Bronx Uptown at night hahaha. After sitting at those places for a train, nothing in Calgary scares me haha.

its a joke calling the NE scary.
For real. There's no abandoned houses or anything.

Just go to downtown vancouver at night. or go watch for trains/buses late at night in Detroit.

Like Jordan said, I walked through East Village downtown at sunset. You could feel the creepos emerge from their slumber.

I believe it.
People say the NE is ghetto. I drove through a real ghetto to see what it was like... Friday night, rental car... It's eye opening.
It was East Palo Alto, CA.

In 1992, the city had the highest per-capita murder rate in the country with 24,322 people, and 42 murders. Obviously, when I drove through it had been cleaned up a lot.

I wasn't too scared. Most of the people out loitering were just trying to flag us down to either sell us drugs or jack our car.
