One thing to keep in mind with Calgary is that with the grid system, avenues can be North or South, and streets can be East or West. To make it especially confusing, they put centre street/ave right in the middle of downtown. Just keep that in mind when figuring out where shit is, because it might seem like something is a block away from your hotel when it's actually in the NW quadrant and not the SW quadrant (where your hotel likely is). You'll probably only be in the SW and SE quadrants during your visit.

This place is SO much cheaper than SF! We went to the Flames game last night and beers were only $8! That's not bad at all for stadium brews. Bars haven't been too shabby either.
Also, I've already had the G&T from Moxie's like four times. Might be the best I've ever had.
I've enjoyed my time here more than I thought I would.
Well, I live in Calgary and have friends and family in SF.
In many ways Calgary is much cheaper (rent especially) but in others not so much. It is more the general U.S. versus Canada stuff but you can definitely drink, buy groceries and shop for less in SF overall. For traveling I'd say it is cheaper here though if for no other reason than the hotel rates aren't ridiculous. Still, Calgary is more expensive than most Canadian cities.
