It appears that the Canadian prairie areas have experienced an exodus of people.
Thanks for your comment, bikinkawboy. When the rail lines were moved in the 1940s and 1950s, people from the small towns that were populated in the early 1900s began to move to the bigger centers. In most cases, they did not have to move far away, but it severely diminished the populations of these small towns. It wasn't long that Post offices, schools and churches closed after the rail lines were moved. As a result, there is a slew of ghost towns stretching across the province along highway 13 in southern Saskatchewan.

LOL. It would be nice, but highly unlikely.

Looks like it has AC but no chimney for cooler weather. Very nice shot.
Thank you, vicksart. The chimney fell, probably from lack of use. But on the positive side, the chimney can be re-built and, as you stated, the house does come with air conditioning.

From my experience small towns can hang on until the school closes. After that, they tend to dry up. The school is still going strong in the little town a mile from me, 172 people. At school programs many of the kids have parents, grandparents and great grandparents in the audience.
