I grew up in Bonnville, Alberta. The population fluctuates between 3000 and 6000 depending on the price of oil. There's a Dairy Queen and a Kentucky Fried Chicken but no movie theatre or McDonald's. In rural Alberta, you know your town's a decent size when you get a McDonald's.
However, I was shocked to discover that Bonnyville actually has a Starbucks now. Well, kindda. They built a huge community centre which is mostly designed to host hockey games and dances (of course). The concession stand now "proudly serves Starbucks coffee." It's probably the biggest news to hit Bonnyville in 6 months.
Anyway, I still read their paper online every now and then. Check it out at http://www.bonnyvillenouvelle.ca/.
