Actually, with all of the 80's fluff aside, it wasn't a badly filmed video at all. It ran almost like a tourism video, except for the Rosedale Sweatshop.  |
I seem to recall, back in the 50's, Eamons was the place to eat. People would enjoy travelling out to it on the old highway to Banff, before the Trans Canada was built.
Also in the 50's, I believe the women weren't allowed to go into the bars in Calgary, so many drove out to the bar in Cochrane. I remember people saying the drive home, up the Cochrane hill, after the bar closed, was something else.
