but now the cops shut it down and have ruined the feel of the city. there is major gang wars going on here but instead of cracking down on real problems like coke heads and dealers they are out monitoring some drunk hockey fans and stopping the fun.
GO COPS!

Well it seemed to move from Electric Avenue on 11th avenue to 17th avenue, and I was there when Calgary won the Stanley Cup... and last I remember, the entire street from McLeod Trail all the way to 10th street was packed solid with people... yes, there were a lot of cops, but nothing happened, everyone had a great time, we all cracked some beers while walking down the street, and no one that I saw anyways, got their skull cracked open for being a dumbass... was pretty peaceful and a hell of a party. Too bad your view of the cops is negative, because all things being equal, they are pretty tolerent.
