El Paso, Texas?

Nope.....

San Pedro de Marquis, Dominican Republic? Nope.....

The Red Mile, Calgary? Yup.

Who'd a thunk it? Cool little church right off the Red Mile [1]. I was half expecting Clint Eastwood to saunter out, glare and start firing.

[Ed. Note 1: The Red Mile is the mile or so of bars leading from the Calgary Saddledome, where the Flames play hockey, to even more bars.

Since all good Flames fans wear red jerseys during games, this mile long stretch became a sea of red after every playoff game. And then a sea of pee and then a sea of hurl. Subsequently, this year it was a sea of blue, as the cops shut down all fun.

Actually, the Flames essentially did this themselves, by losing in the first round.
