On the way to Moose Jaw from Regina, this is pretty much what you see all the time
|
Just outside of Regina close to Belle Plaine, on the north side of the Trans-Canada Highway, you can see a very large potash mine
|
That's the other part of the mine
|
As soon as you get to Main Street, you see the this. Story has it that Al Capone was a resident in this exact motel for some time to hide out from law enforcement. Also, however, to oversee distribution of bootleg liquor, both to Canada and to the United States as during Prohibition, Moose Jaw was a major artery for illegal booze into Chicago via the Soo Line Railroad.
|
On the other side, a former Canadian Pacific Railway station, now a liquor store
|
Let's go see the historic Moose Jaw
|
Looking North on Main Street

Downtown Moose Jaw, Main Street

Moose Jaw City Hall

Of course they have one
|
Another view of the casino
|
Lots of old classic trucks
|
|
Lots of old classic signs like this one, this one and this one
|
and billboards like this
|
and murals like this
|
and every pedestrian in Moose Jaw leads a moose behind them
|
There's also a very nice park
|
|
|
Never read any of these but judging by the titles, they look interesting
|
Main entrance to the park
|
Something interesting in the distance
|
It's a beautiful church

According to MCMXII, erected in 1912

Back to Regina, this is pretty much what you see all the time
