If you enter from Wetaskiwin via any of the main highways, your first introduction to the community is car dealerships, box stores, concrete... Personally, I think 50 ave is quite cute and attractive, but it's off the beaten path a little. Think of the last holiday you took...what are the communities you remember? Probably, a quaint town with character buildings, funky shops and cafés, statues... I think your idea of not "penalizing people through taxes" who renovate and take care of their homes is a good one... Finally, I like your comment about needing a real café...timmies is great and afforadable, but it's fast food and it's boring. If one of my friends comes to visit from Edmonton and I want to take them out for coffee...Timmies is no big thrill. If anyone has been to Kavvacinos in Lacombe, that's the kind of place I mean-unique, independently-owned, character, healthy food choices, great coffee... we need a place like that here. I agree with you!
