The old Assiniboine hotel was the big dive back then downtown, seems to still be there but doesn't look healthy. There used to be a giant gun barrel lying by the rail siding down at the camp that had rolled off a rail car during the last war and was too big to move. Eventually money got the best of someone and it was cut up and disposed of. It was huge, apparently a naval gun being shipped or delivered... That was where we did our nuke testing...
