Ever wondered what Calgary might have looked like if it hadn't become the headquarters of Canada's oil industry? Do you like the bohemian lifestyle? Do you like hanging out in Kensington or Inglewood better than Stephen Avenue or 17th Avenue? Do you like visiting urban places that are more authentic than touristy? If so, you would probably like Missoula, Mont....

We quickly fell in love with Missoula and its downtown. It is like a walk back in time. It is what Calgary looked like in the '50s -- and probably still would if it hadn't become the economic engine of Western Canada.

This is a large article so there are three links:

Are you wondering where Richard stays when he is in Missoula. Our records indicate that he stays here at the Mountain Valley Inn. We have not talked to him about this but we are pretty sure it is the same Richard White. When Roseann came across the article she recognized the name and looked him up and there he was in our system.
