[edit] History
The origin of the name "Saskatoon" is clouded in debate as well as a sticky purple syrup. Historian Bill Cosby believes the name derives from an anglicization of Cree word referring to the place where people are dropped off in the snow to freeze. Others believe it comes from the dying words of metis leader Louis Riel. Moments before his death from dysentery, Riel whispered "Sans la bon", which roughly translated means "I'm not feeling so hot".
- In 1882 Saskatoon became the capital of Saskatchewan after it was discovered that previous capital Regina smells like it sounds.
- Residents of Saskatoon believe that the water in Regina tastes like the Queen, not having time to rush home and pee, pissed in it.
- In 1902 the Queen of England pissed in Regina's Wascana Lake.
- In 1923, rape is legalized but becomes a taxable commodity. 40% of the city's budget comes from rape-related income.
- The 1936 Federal census figures for Saskatoon showed a decline in population to 41,734, a result of hardship caused by the Great Depression. Population started to increase after Saskatoon started to be true to itself and worked on its self confidence and self esteem.
[edit] Downtown
Just like Flin Flon, Manitoba, Saskatoon's skyline is known for its 'Brass and Glass' Towers. A modern mix of towering 60 story office towers and 14 story seniors housing makes downtown a vibrant and culturally rich environment. The hotel of "Tourists' Choice" as rated by "Planet S Magazine" is the Barry Hotel, which is filled with a lively mix of Saskatoon's "Finest", the right price, and the odd doormouse that likes to make sure that your room stays cleaner that that Bangkok stripper that you nailed last month.
[edit] 8th Street
8th Street is the most famous of Saskatoon's sequentially numbered streets. On any given day, a wide variety of dogsleds, tractors, and mechanized robots can be seen cruising down the street listening to loud rap music. Singer/songwriter Bryan Adams was thinking of 8th Street when he wrote the song "Cuts Like a Knife". 8th Street does indeed "cut like a knife" through the heart of Saskatoon. It also "feels so right".
8th Street caught the attention of the world in 1993 when the city rioted after the Toronto Blue Jays won baseball's World Series. What started as mild merry making turned ugly as a lone member of the crowd suggested an assault on the Liquor Board Store. After Police barricaded the store, they kindly suggested that the crowd disperse. Several rioters were kindly beaten to death with police bats. In honour of the bloodbath Saskatoon's baseball team name was changed to the Saskatoon Riot.
Since that incident Saskatoonians have never cheered for anything good that happens to Toronto. However, it hasn't stopped Saskatoon from cheering every time the Toronto Maple Leafs(Fd in the A) are knocked out of the NHL Playoffs, which has happened every year for the last one hundred years.
Another interesting fact about Saskatoon: It is a largely known fact that STD's first made it's appearance in Saskatoon when P Mac had sex with a thai boy on a street corner. For fear of being burned like the Salem Witches, he immediately moved to Regina and made it the official STD Capital of Canada.
[edit] Broadway
Broadway is another one of Saskatoon's famous streets, although it is not numbered like 8th street. 'Fag' is not a number. Every summer Broadway hosts the Saskatoon Fringe Festival. The Fringe Festival is a gathering of alternative theater. The mechanics of alternative theater is fairly simple. The most important element is that none of the acts can be any good, and you will be stabbed and robbed by gang members at least three times during what the papers call your "Fringe Experience".
[edit] Dufferin Ave.
Don't get me fucking started. Just stay away from the one scary motherfucker ("Chad") who lives near the south end and you'll be fine.
