There's a corner store/gas station/butcher shop right now that we can get odds and ends at. There's a hotel/bar/restaurant that's still open and a chinese restaurant that just closed because the owner and woman who did all the cooking just passed away in December. There's a hockey arena, curling rink, elementary school, jr/sr high school, a big, new town hall, hair dresser, antique store, a credit union branch and a church that's used by 2 different congregations. Businesses have come and gone through the years. A few years ago, the grocery store that had been there since the beginning of time burned down....
It's a village of about 850pop. Pretty typical small prairie town. It's where Rog and I both went to school, too. lol It's really strange... even though we've spent our whole lives here, we don't have any close friends in the area. Lots of acquaintances, but no one we really go have coffee with or drop in on.
