Kind of reminds me of how Grande Prairie looks to the north and east from my dad's law firm on the 6th floor of Windsor Court, except that GP's got all those new housing subdivisions going up all at once.

Desolate?

No where near as bad as areas outside Lethbridge or Medicine Hat in the TRUE BALD-ASS PRAIRIE. Now that is desolate.

I like how Brandon is built in a valley.. a very scenic little city. It has also seen some descent growth the last number of years as well.

Not to mention the McD's on the #1 .. which is always a must stop for me when passing by.

I always liked Brandon on those occasions when I was there. What has the growth been like in the last few years?

Of course, only the top-of-the-line for our harls. The Royal Suite, no doubt.

Royal Suite? It's a fucking CanadInn.

That's like saying "Table for ten, it's our Anniversary!" at McDonalds.

I believe that's an A+W commercial, not McDonalds.

PS Robert Service is going to come back and slap your ass and not in a good way.

Well, ya, sure it was funny, but Robert Service has an antiquated sense of humour.
