Home of the Burger Family"In 1956, the first A&W drive-in restaurant in Canada opened on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg. Serving a delicious combination of great tasting burgers, onion rings and frosted mugs of famous A&W Root Beer, all from the smiling faces of friendly car hops. A&W proved to be an instant hit.
A&W Restaurants quickly multiplied across the nation, flourishing through the late '50s and '60s." Source: A&W
Was on a road trip and after a long drive, of course I was hungry. Spotted the A & W and pulled in the Drive-Thru and ordered my usual a Chubby Chicken Burger with onion rings and a root beer. Did I mention it was barely 9:00 am?
Prince George
The City of Prince George began as a fur trading post founded in 1807 by Simon Fraser on traditional Lheidli T'enneh territory. Agricultural settlements were established around the trading post, then named Fort George, in the early 1900s when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (later CN Rail) entered the region.
Prince George is the largest city in northern British Columbia, with a population of approximately 82,290 residents. Prince George is on the Fraser and Nechako rivers making the area a must see for travelers and sport enthusiasts across Canada. There are over 100 parks and 100 kms of trails.
Price George has a lot to offer and if you have the time I would recommend at least two days to enjoy all that it has to offer such as: Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park, Prince George Railway Museum, Huble Homestead Historic Site and Mr. PG who greets you as you enter town.
