Shanks Garage

I came across this old photograph of Shanks Garage.  This service station used to be in Nordegg.  The County tore it down a few months ago, because it didn't fit in with their plans of redeveloping the commercial district.  So the service station is gone, new streets and services are in, and all the properties sit empty.... along with some nearby residential lots that have been empty for a least a decade.  I really question the sense of the planning that is being initiated by Clearwater County.  I took this photograph in 2016, not realizing at the time that the building would soon be gone.
