Pooley Street Blue Building Good Eats Galleryphoto by Marie Nagel
I had planned a trip to Prince Edward Island and ended up north in Wells B.C.
The most incredible political and artistic little town on the planet. It is in the deep , dark mountain alpine rainforest. The snow gets 14 feet high in the winter with a climate of 20 below farenheit. It has 2 months of summer.
I found magic. It is a town full of artists and other amazing people. I also found two buildings that just wanted us to own them. We made an offer to purchase on the Good Eats Cafe Gallery.
It is one of two flatiron buildings in the province and was constructed in 1930. It has an upstairs apartment that looks down a wild valley for miles. Next door is an incredible theatre that has stages and lights and sound equipment.
The town has a great library, medical services, and internet! It also has an incredible art school and little things like recycling and community gardens. It even has a public gallery. The people there have intentionally planned a heritage community that seems to be thriving. Fair trade goods are available for sale and people trade stuff if they need new things.
We were there for 2 days and discovered a community of people who wined and dined us. We attended the cabaret and many people in the community got up to perform skills like singing, belly dancing, juggling and whip- cracking. Many had professional experience and were terrific.
The neighbouring towns include two ghost towns left from the gold rush. Stanley is full of ghosts and Barkerville has been restored into a tasteful and historically accurate theme park.
The offer is in and it looks like we have a new part time home and community. I just need to remember to count chickens when they hatch!
