indeed I have, else I wouldn't have made the parallel
while east hastings certainly looks rougher than beltline did back then, I've never had my stabby-sense tingle like I did on that wander down 10th.. Off the cuff I'd chalk it up to the drug of choice in the repsective street communities. Vancouver of course being a well known heroin hole, while the faster paced environment in Calgary seems to make amphetamines the spice of street life
In any case, Edmonton is the only place I've actually been randomly assaulted, and not even on a particularly bad street.. so you never can tell
