Learn all about a flamboyant madam named Diamond Dolly. Fish - or surf- on a downtown river. Find a poem about a frog in a university stairwell. Listen for the carillon bells at lunch. Spot goats doing weed control in public parks. Discover these and many more hidden gems as the birthplace of ginger beef and the Caesar cocktail reveals to you why it's so much more than just home to the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. 111 Places in Calgary That You Must Not Miss reveals to Calgarians and visitors alike the city's most interesting people, places and stories, some lurking off the beaten path and others hiding in plain sight.
