An infamous Mac's convenience store in downtown Calgary, a city in Alberta, Canada located in the corner of 7th Avenue and 8th Street SW. So called as it is known for being rather sketchy and crime-ridden, as well as having many people dealing crack outside in the parking lot and around the premises.
