I was thru Gravelbourg and talked to Serge at the SK liquor outlet. Chatted en français for a few minutes and there were a lot of French speaking customers. Nice to see. This actually is an interesting town because of the small bits of French culture . The Paris Cafe was pretty good as a place to stop for food and a decent coffee. The old rail station looks to be repurposed as a residence. There's a golf driving range, a bowling alley, caisse et cafe.. bien!

Bought my suit for my high school grad in this town in 1963. At Allards. We had a great rivalry going on between our two towns then. French vs. Anglos. I think that has changed.

Thanks for the comment. Interesting. A split town.
