Let’s see how good your taste of music is? Do you know the song? The music video has the town of Dorothy and the elevator in it…….
Dorothy was once a busy little community located not far from Drumheller, Ab. It never had more then 100 residents living there but had 2 churches, 3 grain elevators, grocery store, butcher store, restaurant, telephone office, pool hall, a machine agency and a school.
Dorothy’s grain elevator has suffered major damage from the wind in 2015. Her entire roof is gone but yet she still stands proudly. This elevator was built in the 1920’s and shut down in the 1950’s.
The United Church was built in the 1930’s and the Catholic Church was built in the 1940’s. They both only lasted till the early 1960’s and then closed. Both churches are looking pretty good for their age and both look as they are being looked after. They don’t look near as rough as they look in the music video. Any idea yet? He is Canadian.
If you are ever in the Drumheller area it is so worth the time to detour a bit and see Dorothy.
