I’ve just started making my rounds to various news websites, to catch up on what’s going on in the world (locally, nationally and internationally as always). I decided to hop over to Calgary.ctv.ca first. The first article is about the construction of a new high rise downtown, which will be causing some traffic headaches. I heard this on the radio today (yes, I even listen to the news on the radio), so I skipped that one. The next article is talking about a shooting at a NE Calgary movie theater. My jaw hit the floor when I read it was the theater that me and Jo go to on our “dates” - at Sunridge.
A man, aged 24 was shot twice in the head outside, in the parking lot. Scary. There are so many popular places in that area besides the theater too - East Side Marios (where we eat occasionally), Chapters, Montana’s Steakhouse and not to mention the Sunridge mall. This is a pretty large theater too. I think it holds 14 (if my memory is correct) theaters inside, which are pretty huge.
The article can be found here - Shooting.
Now I know things like this happen everywhere and no community or city is immune, but at the same time it really makes me want the comfort of the smaller, tight knit communities that I’m used to.

It’s scary when things like that hit close to home. And I agree with you - I love small, tight knit communities. I may live in the boonies, but at least it’s small, rural, isolated, and for the most part, safe!
