Not sure where you’ll go on your next adventure? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Located an hour from Calgary, Longview is a quiet village on the Cowboy Trail, best known for being the home of Alberta’s Twin Cities Saloon.⁠ ⁠ While it certainly won’t take an entire day to explore, the old-fashioned restaurant on Morrison Road is definitely worth checking out – especially if you’re a hockey fan. 🏒⁠ ⁠ “Built by three prominent NHL hockey players, Red Dutton, Cecil “Tiny” Thompson and Paul Thompson, this establishment has stood the test of time,” they explain on their website. ⁠ ⁠ A nod to the two towns that were nearby in the 1930s – Little Chicago and Little New York, the Twin Cities Saloon is considered an important part of the community – often recognized as a reminder of the “rich oil and gas history in the area.”⁠ ⁠ Feeling tired after you grab a beer and a bite to eat? It’s worth mentioning that the Saloon was originally a hotel and still has 7 original rooms for rent just upstairs – so enjoy yourself!⁠ ⁠ ...
