On Facebook and Twitter the other day, I petitioned my dear followers to answer this question:
“What brought you to Lethbridge? What makes you stay? Good or bad – I’m curious to know!”
Here are a few of the more interesting responses:

Sarah: My Dad was transferred here in 1998, and I fell in love with Lethbridge and its Arts community! It is a great size city to raise my children in, has great schools, wonderful people, and lots of wind to blow any worries away! |

Kelly: Schooling brought me here, career opportunities and my fiance (and our newly purchased house) keep us here. |

Kevin: Moved here for college and fell in love with the city. Such a great sense of community, and the people are fantastic! Graduated in April of 2009 and refused to leave. |

Michael: My job; I brought the Wife; the mortgage is currently keeping us there after my job was swallowed by the “economy” last summer. |
More responses after the jump!

I’m a webslinger located in Lethbridge, AB. I love all things nerdy, like cartoons and videogames, and am also a bit of a foodie. When I travel, I always keep my eyes out for hot springs and great places to adventure with my wife, Melissa.
