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 live in Brandon and this is a nice little city. These photos are taken from the Canad Inn hotel.

Hey, I think I can see my house in those pics...

DLLB · #11 Posted: **Mar 8, 2007, 9:52 PM**

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

I guess this is the view from the tallest building between Winnipeg and Regina.

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.

Shut up, I was laughing for hours after I came up with that!

JBinCalgary · #19 Posted: **Mar 9, 2007, 7:10 AM**

i thought it was funny

flatlander · #20 Posted: **Mar 9, 2007, 3:46 PM**

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