Some stuff we like along the Cowboy Trail (road food)

We like Ian Tyson's Navajo Mug in Longview because they have great coffee, good goodies, music (Ian's), Alberta books, Alberta art, and one of my favourite things --western jewellery ... and a very clean bathroom. I never get tired of looking at Ian's very ornamental saddle in the entrance way. I'll have to take a picture next time. It's quite beautiful.


We mostly love Marv's Soda Shop in Black Diamond because ... well, you'll see. Fifties soda shop with food like you remember -- burgers made with meat, not filler ... good fries ... malts ... sundaes, banana splits, floats ... and the best damn milkshakes served in a glass with the other half in the stainless steel container. My personal favourite? Grilled bacon and cheese sandwich and a chocolate shake.


I also love the personal juke boxes at every booth and the crazy collection of old fashioned candy and stuff.

It's a true Alberta treasure!
