The food definitely improved. Calgary in the 60s had the most boring food imaginable. Pizza was considered foreign and exotic. Then people moved in from all over the world to work in the oil patch in the 70s and suddenly dining out became an adventure in new cuisines.

Haha, the last generation of my family has stories about discovering pizza, and the generation before that being horrified by the strangeness of it.

Chinese food was old and established, though. It was cracked to stick around after the rail work, but thanks, guys.
