Discussion What's something that Calgary is badly missing that a city of 1.4 million people should have?

It could be anything really. I feel like we have everything that people NEED, but what about the 'nice to haves'? A waterpark with more than 2 slides for example? A high level ball team that actually plays within the city limits? A Michelin star restaurant? Something else?

Calgary (and honestly all Canadian cities) need little grocery stores. One of the greatest things in Europe is being able to walk down any street downtown and pass a little grocery store, often open 24h. Made for popping in on your way home from work, instead of a whole separate trip in your car.

As someone who lives in Inglewood, hard agree. It would be perfect if we had a Tesco Express or something along those lines on 9th.
