located at 52.2°n lat-tude and 106.7°w lat-tude, one of the most all-around beautiful cities in canada, and the greatest place in saskatchewan. it’s easy to find your way around, has a great thriftlodge motel on 42nd and idlywyld dr., which is cheap but still near-magnificient, radio cab company which has the nicest drivers of any cab company i’ve ever ridden with, a 3-story a&b sound right outside the greyhound station, and scores of nice people who are proud to live in a clean, compact city.
saskatoon is much better than regina, which is full of loud, sloppy drunks, usually donning molson canadian or budweiser caps; or swift current, where hotels are always booked, and people are overweight, mouthy and completely unhelpful.
a great city. seriously. but not all of saskatoon is safe, notice why it’s ranked canada’s 3rd most dangerous city behind -ahem- regina! which is also in saskatchewan. don’t walk west saskatoon alone at night, just a warning. other than that, this is a nice, moderately sized, clean city. lots of things to do at night. weather can be horrible sometimes but you’ll get used to it.
