Manyberries Train Station in Alberta
Originally built in 1917, the former train station in Manyberries, Alberta is now a private family residence. The Canadian Pacific Railway operated this remote line in southern Alberta as primarily a grain gathering branch, however it closed in the 1980s and the rails were later removed in the 1990s. I followed up on an invitation to come down and explore this uniquely restored property, and was amazed by all of the rail history that still resides here.

Historic Texas Theatre in San Angelo, Texas
On a rainy morning in San Angelo, Texas I made my way downtown to see the historic Texas Theatre. Originally opened in 1929, the Texas Theatre was once a venue for both movies and stage shows. It boasted air conditioning and around 1300 seats, making it not just a popular summer hangout, but also an especially large theatre in the region.
The Texas Theatre has been out of regular operation for several decades now, but it appears the building has been partially preserved in the hopes of some future renovation. It was actually vintage pictures of the theatre's giant marquee that encouraged me to detour through San Angelo. The neon tubing has gone, as have the crowds of moviegoers, but even in the pouring rain I still found myself marveling at this incredible old movie palace.

Filming With the Medicine Hat Fire Department
Earlier this summer I shot a short public service video with the Medicine Hat Fire Department about river safety on the South Saskatchewan. If I'm honest, the real incentive behind taking on this project was getting out on the river to enjoy the views of the cliffs around Police Point, under the bridges, and down to Echo Dale. The views of Medicine Hat, Alberta from the South Saskatchewan River really are pretty spectacular.
Check out the video I filmed with the Medicine Hat Fire Department below and for more information about river safety in Medicine Hat, Alberta click here.
