I’m guessing that Dairy Queen isn’t too happy about their neighbour’s name.

- Spruce Grove’s “Liquor King”
There are about 3 alcohol suppliers within a block of that DQ. No wonder Alberta runs out of booze — they have too many liquor stores fighting over stock.

- Grove Motor Inn. They were “renovating”, so the room nearly beneath mine was missing it’s large ground floor window, and the bed and room was wide open like you see on a hotel hit by a tornado.

Wow, those photos bring back memories, I grew up in the Stony Plain/Spruce Grove area and went to high school there. Both my mother and grandmother worked at the Grove Motor Inn back in the 80s and 90s (it was as rundown then as it is now, even before the salmonella incidents). I hope you had a chance to go to Jack’s Drive-In along 16A - they have the best burgers and shakes there! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I think I went to Jack’s a couple years ago when I was there for the first time, I remember burgers and fries.

“Here be mosquitoes”
I cannot believe those little buggars! It was only 3 weeks ago that it was bloody COLD. They have absolutely NO BUSINESS being so prolific already.
Honestly, if some medical study were done on their resilience and how they achieve it, year after year after year, it would likely result in a medical breakthrough. Too bad I don’t have the training, I could be a gazillionaire.

We should make houses out of mosquito eggs.
