He's a Calgary legend.

Earlier this week, pro-wrestling hall of famer Bret'The Hitman'Hart announced he's been diagnosed prostate cancer.

The 58-year-old pledged to wage a "fearsome fight" againstthe disease, "carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that's kept me going this long already."

Bret, of course, is a member of thefamous Hart wrestling dynasty. His family is one of the best known in our city. Their history is a part of our history.

A couple weeks back, before his cancer announcement, we asked Bret to show us around his Calgary, as partof our Calgary at a Crossroads project.

Bret and the CBC's Mike Symington hit the road.

And boy did Bret ever have some stories to tell.

It's Calgary, like you just might remember it.
