This was 8:15am on a Saturday morning in Historic Downtown. If I was in Banff and there were no cars, I'd walk to the middle of Banff Avenue for a no car shot of town, so why not in Cochrane? I took photos & video for about 10 minutes from the middle of the road in historic downtown, when I heard a vehicle coming and turned around to see an ambulance, stopped... wondering why I was hanging out in the middle of the road? (Hopefully they were heading for coffee & no one had called them about the lady wandering down the middle of the road!) I gave the ambulance a quick wave hello and a shrug of my shoulders to say "why not? and went back to the sidewalk to let them pass. I mean the sunrise on this morning was too impeccable to miss. *Sam #mycochrane

And here you go Cochrane! All the ways you can support your local restaurants during these Stage 1 restrictions - on a patio, to go or for delivery. *This list is being updated as the restaurants are confirmed. I will eventually have all the restaurants linked to their websites or FB pages.

This Eggs Bennie combo at the @fenceandpost was an interesting palate pleaser. Braised Elk + Sauerkraut & Mustard on a Potato Biscuit. Or, maybe it was the Grapefruit #mimosa? Either, or, I'll be remembering this birthday brunch for awhile. #supportlocal #nodinein #togo #brunch #cochranealberta #cochraneab #elk #notsponsored
