A Place For The Residents Of The Communities Up The Hill From Downtown..
I'm a native Calgarian (one of very few it would seem), born here in the late 60's and have lived in numerous communities throughout the years but nearly 4 decades have been spent living in one of the communities west of downtown. One of the communities that has Westbrook Mall at its hub.
Having reluctantly accepted the fact that I'm slightly past "middle-aged" I came to the conclusion that I needed a platform where I could vent, let loose, free my inner "grumpy old man". So, I created this blog. It will be a place for me to put in my two cents about the things going on in the neighbourhood, be they good or bad. I've spent a lot of time complaining and not a lot of time doing anything about it. We live in an age where anybody can have a platform online, so I thought I'd build such a platform and maybe try to do some good for my community while I'm at it.
Now when I say "neighbourhood", I mean the communities of Glamorgan, Glenbrook, Glendale, Killarney/Glengarry, Rosscarrock, Shaganappi, Spruce Cliff, Westgate, and Wildwood.
While initially intended to be an outlet to rant, I also would like this to be a place to showcase the things that are going right in those communities. So, while I'll be blowing off some steam about what really grinds my gears around here, I'll also be posting about the things that make this a great part of town to live in.
So whether it's something I've seen on the news or something I've seen walking down the street, I'll write about it. With pictures, stories, and statistics it will have a little something for everyone.
Obviously, D.B.Cooper isn't my real name. That said, let me clarify that I'm not the infamous skyjacker, nor did I choose the moniker because I'm a particular fan of his. My reasons are my own. To make the distinction between us, the "real" D.B.Cooper also went by Dan. I will go by Derek.
So, if there's anything going on in your area that you want to talk about, leave a comment, got to my Facebook page or send me an email at dbcooperkillarney@gmail.com and tell me what you think.
