We moved to McBride way back in 1977. After we moved in we were excited to show our families and friends the tiny village nestled in the Canadian Rockies where we had decided to establish our lives. We could find only this postcard of McBride to send them. We knew it had been taken only a few years earlier because we recognized the blue truck with canopy that belonged to some friends of ours, and of course the building looked the same.
Fortunately our village has changed its appearance since this photo was taken. We have the same buildings, except the Alpine Cafe (the brown and red one on the left) which burned down, but the rest are still here and have all been given an attractive face-lift.
