Mountains and Change

I spent last Saturday in my old town of Banff, visiting with some great friends.

They say change is a good thing, but when you walk the streets of Banff, you wonder if it really is.

As usual, many new restaurants...which are okay I guess. I have a problem with all the franchise stores moving in.

Does one need them all there? Do people really go to a mountain resort to see the same stuff they see in the city they left?

I wonder.

Maybe people like the comforts of home everywhere they go.

I guess the only constant are the mountains.

Cascade Mountain is still my favorite.
