Yes, but too small for the Flames brass to rake in the bucks they want. Besides, Edmonton is getting a new arena so we have to have one too.

Mind you, we have a hockey team so maybe Edmonton should get one.....



Expecting Cory to chime in any minute now.....
 
Thanks for sharing, Old Wizard.
Nikka Yuko is probably written 日加友好 in Japanese and, if so, it means Friendship between Japan and Canada.
That looks like a paradise to me.

Here in Western Canada we have gained culturally from the influx of many Asian peoples. Cantonese speaking Chinese have been here for over 100 years. After the Korean War we gained Koreans, and Vietnamese after that war. Many people from the Philippines live here as well as Mandarin speaking mainland Chinese. We get to eat the foods from all of them. Lucky us.
 
A short car ride from my home is a special place time forgot. A glimpse of the Gold Coast of Long Island. A time that once was. I give you Old Westbury Gardens!



The dramatic back of the house. As seen in many movies. (1970 film Love Story to depict the entrance to the home of Ryan O'Neal's character. Other movies filmed on the grounds include North by Northwest, The Age of Innocence, The Manchurian Candidate (2004), Wolf, Hitch, Cruel Intentions, 8MM, Bernard and Doris, American Gangster, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. Scenes from the television series Royal Pains and Gossip Girl also used the location in filming. - Wiki)



The Mistress of the Manor and Heirs. (My wife and kids hamming it up.)



The children's play house...can you imagine?



A fountain in the Walled Garden. I remember when it was full of fish, but nobody can tell me what happened to them.
