We are talking about Deep River. It is a weird town. It was built at the peek of the second world war to house British and Canadian nuclear scientists. Not listed on any maps and complete with gatehouse. The people who administered the town ensured it had a Bay Department store and marina.
All that disappeared in the 1960s, but still a weird place.
When I lived there it was a bed room community for Chalk River Nuclear Labs. Today there are also a lot of military families from Petawawa living there as well.

Our Popeyes opens in a few months time. I'm bracing for massive traffic jams on Mountain Road for at least a month.

Yes, it was weird. However back then Tim's actually had crusty bread and decent donuts. Today not so much.
