2024-04-27 03:53:17 +0000 UTCI'm concerned Calgary may be a tesseract of liminal spaces.

2024-04-26 06:28:17 +0000 UTCHmm. That tiny building might be twice as high as anything in a large city (say, million population) in Canada or the US (outside of Alberta). Looks like CN Tower and Sears Tower might be next, both at about 630m. Denver proper isn't a million (but the metro area is), and lots of Mexico is even higher, so this is a rather narrow definition.

2024-04-25 17:41:54 +0000 UTC"The City of Calgary’s Top Hill Reservoir is located on the prominent “kame” or morainal knoll feature at the south end of Section 28. This 14.4 acre parcel is owned by the City of Calgary." that is, indeed, what it is.

2024-04-25 17:26:54 +0000 UTCVery cool. Now go find the lowest point.

2024-04-25 17:14:11 +0000 UTCBegrudgingly I must admit that Calgary has the high ground...

2024-04-25 17:12:33 +0000 UTCOooh, good theory! Maybe I'll ask the city.

2024-04-25 17:01:29 +0000 UTCThat's really interesting!

2024-04-25 17:01:03 +0000 UTCHuh, Calgary (on average?) is 0.4 km higher than Edmonton (and .2 km above Red Deer). . . anyway, the highest point in Edmonton is Southwest Highland at 716 m, but the best view is imo at the corner of 75 St. NW and Ada Blvd NW. It's right on the edge of the river valley—gorgeous. Still, nuts that's Edmonton's highest point is 582 m lower than Calgary's own.

2024-04-25 04:49:58 +0000 UTCIn my head canon, the last series of simple patreon videos are breaks from doing a youtube essay that's so dark and so deep that Dan needs to do these to stay sane.

2024-04-25 02:38:45 +0000 UTCJust speculating here but it’s possible that Calgary has the highest lowest point of any major Canadian city

Julia-n
2024-04-25 01:32:23 +0000 UTCIs it a reservoir to provide water pressure for the city? The highest point in the city would be a good location for that.
