My wife, Margie, and I live in Winnipeg, but we still carry “packsacks,” not “backpacks.” We ride snowmobiles we call “machines” and go “up the lake.”
That’s because we’re privileged to come from fabulous Fort Frances. We miss “the Fort” and that got us reminiscing.
In the 1960’s, some things were straightforward. The Fort’s mill was run by, of course, Mr. Woodman, the Horticultural Society by Rose Busch, and the high school by Mr. Book.
But some local lingo must confuse visitors.
Do newbies really think the “Five-Mile Dock” is five miles long? Do they still believe Shevlin Towers are skyscrapers? Do they expect that Lakeview Trailer Park has lake views? Do they believe we drive to Finland? Do they get it when we say, “I’m going to Dance?” Do they believe there’s a place called “The Place?”
