When we first moved here (OMG, so many years ago!) it was a typical little prairie town with grain elevators and friendly people. Now it's a frickin' oil boom town and it's nasty. Expensive? Full of rig-pigs (and they truly are pigs!), hookers, crime..... don't get me started. Oh, wait, I already started. <BR/>Okay, I'll stop.the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-72489382585211787862008-08-26T08:06:00.000-06:002008-08-26T08:06:00.000-06:00Will the city ever stop?

And agree with you whole-heartedly that the tornado never see a police car unless it's a PR move!<BR/><BR/>TA - I really thought it was quite brilliant...the little guy seemed quite pleased, and it allows them to see the police as people!<BR/><BR/>The expansion? On the one hand it will be nice to have some of the shops that are advertised on the signs (RONA is a big Canadian home-improvement store, which is exciting for me), but the city has changed a great deal over the last 10 or so years, and it's much busier and more dangerous (over 1000 motor vehicle accidents this year!), and, sadly, far more expensive....<BR/><BR/>Reb - I failed to notice the city limit sign there, but if the airport isn't actually within the city limits, it is right on the border. There is a large industrial park on the north side of the highway that stretches from the airport almost all the way to Costco.<BR/><BR/>SB - sorry about the bird pictures lately....
