Places From My Youth Part 1: The Burger Palace in Moose Jaw

Part one of a series of places we used to love as a family, The Burger Palace. I asked for photos of this place in a Facebook group and was provided them for my blog post. Much thanks to Kathy Shull for looking for them for me and sending them to me.

Some of my earliest memories of going out to eat at the drive-though was at this place. It was run by a very friendly guy by the name of Leo. There was one little table inside to wait for your pickup order as BTW.

We would get our food and park facing Main Street and watch traffic go past. The food as I remember was amazing. I almost always had the mushroom burger.

Now and then Dad would go there and get a pizza for the family after work. That was also very amazing food as I remember. But to be honest, it was the only pizza I'd had at the time.

It was just after I started to drive a car myself that the place was sold off to make way for a new development on the block. I was sad to see it go and have many fond memories of eating there with my Mom, Dad, and Brother.

There was this one time a guy was road raging a fellow in this tiny car. He just flipped out on the guy and to be honest, from what I recall it was the guy freaking out that almost caused a crash. The door of the small car opened and out came this rather massive fellow with the kind of muscles you see in the movies. He towered over the guy who was yelling obscenities. The man making the fuss just got in his car and drove off. It was a hilarious site.

We where at the B.P. at random times for years, it did not matter the day or time, Leo was there cooking.

I've never had a mushroom burger that I liked better I have to say. The only one that came close was in Regina at a place called The Burger Barron. That place also sold out to new development a long time ago.

You can see the prices on the photo if you click it to enlarge. It was not fancy at all, but it was one of the best places I've ever eaten. Then again I may be romanticizing it in my older years.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
