Bell: Calgary downtown streets — where the surreal is real yyc
As we walk and take the train and walk again, the discussion turns to those who act off the wall or out of their minds, going through various drug withdrawals or highs on downtown street corners and sidewalks while you can almost hear everyone else thinking: Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!Article content
There is the ever-present argy-bargy waiting to happen when the liquored-up bar crowd meets the drugged-up street crowd.There is Stephen Avenue near McDonald’s, Olympic Plaza, the drug site at the Sheldon Chumir, the park near the convenience store once known as the Crack Macs.One thing you notice right away is the cops and sheriffs are on the train platforms.Where are the city transit cops? Maybe the mayor could ask.
This day there’s a fire department vehicle and an ambulance here. There’s talk of an overdose and a possible scrap inside.They have Narcan nasal spray and say when folks are revived they are often pissed off you messed up their high.
