I've been there a few times. Interesting old buildings and scenery and so very peaceful.

Thank you. Another location to pin on my photo tour map for next summer. A week became two weeks. Two weeks is looking more like a month. The physical and cultural geography is very different to Yukon. I'm absolutely fascinated with the potential of southern Alberta.

You are very welcome. You can also check out Dinosaur Provincial Park and Writing on Stone as well for great shots.

I recall that at one time, Dorothy used to get letters from overseas asking in there were lonely cowboys who would like a wife or girlfriend. I wonder if this is still happening or if the letters have stopped coming and when the last letter came.

[@livinginalbertanow]

This was back in the early 50s. A news article was published in a Toronto newspaper about the lonely cowboys in Dinosaur Valley. A NY magazine picked up the article and republished and yes, the post office was flooded. Only one eligible bachelor got to meet one of the women, as she was flown in by the magazine. As it turns out the couple didn't marry.

Correction: The Store closed in 1979. The Post Office Closed in the 1960s and was relocated to the store for some time.

[@livinginalbertanow]

Ghostbusters Afterlife has a snippet of Dorothy and the grain elevator. A movie called Tin Star was also filmed in Dorothy.

[@-backintime]

That is awesome. So much great backdrop scenery here.

Useless trivia : The church at 9:50 and some of the other surrounding buildings in Dorothy were backdrops in Tom Cochrane's music video "Life is a Highway"

Are you originally from Alberta? Your accent sounds from elsewhere in Canada

[@livinginalbertanow]

I have lived all across Canada and some parts in the US. I was born in BC, lived in Alberta from 77-82 and have been here since 2006.
