Lovely Photo! I lived in Canmore for a year, with the 3 Sisters out one window, and Mt Rundle out the other. It is a beautiful place.

Re: Philly's "Rocky Steps" Endangered?
PHeymont, as any true fan of the Rocky movies knows, the first time Rocky tackles the steps he does not run. He ascends them at the speed of a sick sloth climbing a tree. The running comes after he has trained for his title fight with Apollo Creed. I think it is the transformation that appeals to many of the movies fans. I'd kind of like these steps preserved, part of Philly and movie culture.
