What, to you, makes a city esthetically pleasing? Carl Patzel, Writer/photographer
One of our first introductions to Airdrie was the impressive, glowing Nose Creek fountains in Summerfield. Those esthetics have been continued through developing communities with the pond and canal systems, a perfect place for a peaceful urban retreat. That and perhaps a centralized unique restaurant/ shopping district always make for an attractive community.

Katie Burley, Writer To me what makes a city esthetically appealing is the little things, the things you don’t notice when you are somewhere every day. These are things such as street signs, local artwork, park cleanliness and pathways. Being able to notice the trees and people enjoying the natural appeal of a city is what truly makes it a beautiful place to call home.
