Book Description
Since the release of our first, bestselling Calgary cityguide, many things in the city have changed: it's gotten bigger, faster, and richer. Still filled with strange secrets, this revised and expanded edition of the earlier Calgary: Secrets of the City reveals the whole truth.
With stories of notorious figures like the jazz impresario who has had countless run-ins with the law, newly discovered tunnels (and some that are planned for the future), top secret flight experiments, and the go-go club (in which patrons entered by sliding down a tube into the basement), Calgary: The Unknown City brings to light the dark, mysterious corners of life in Cowtown.
Also included: True Tales of the Paramedics, crazy roadtrips, weird museums, and an explanation as to why there is no Church of Scientology in Calgary.
Two-color throughout, and with hundreds of photographs and illustrations, Calgary: The Unknown City is the perfect guidebook for tourists, newcomers, and long-time Calgarians who want to know more about their city.

Weekend of Discovery., Aug 22 2007
By E. C. L. Jakob "maluhia" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Calgary: The Unknown City (Paperback)
I was flying into Calgary for a couple days and this book really came in handy for someone seeking out the unique parts of the city. I have Toronto: The Unknown City and really enjoy all the adventures. The Calgary version is a little outdated though, some of the clubs mentioned have since shut down and at times was more of a history textbook than guide to discovery, but there was enough to keep me fulfilled. And for $2, who wouldn't love to check out a taxidermied rodent museum!
