Why Drumheller, Alberta might be annoying:

    Its economy primarily relies on tourism.
    It primarily relied on the coal mining industry in its early years.
    Its population declined considerably following the end of World War II.
    It is extremely dry, due to its location in the badlands.
    It renounced its city status to almagamate with the Municipal District of Badlands and become a town, in order to avoid the responsibility of maintaining the highways within the region.
    It holds the distinction of being Alberta's largest town in terms of land area, following the 1998 amalgamation.

Why Drumheller, Alberta might not be annoying:

    It was considered the largest producer of coal in Western Canada during the early part of the 20th century.
    It has picturesque views, due to its location in the Canadian Badlands and the Red Deer River.
    It is home to the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology.
    Due to this, the community heavily uses the dinosaur theme as part of its tourist attractions, such as The World's Largest Dinosaur, which provides views of the Canadian Badlands from inside the dino's mouth.
    Outside of the dinosaur theme, it is home to other notable tourist attractions such as the Star Mine Suspension Bridge, Atlas Coal Mine, Horseshoe Canyon, Horse Thief Canyon, Drumheller Hoodoos and the Little Church.
