Bowness
Bowness was an independent town until 1963 when it was amalgamated with Calgary. It has its own Main Street, which has seen very little changes over the past 50 years. It has the quintessential 20th century North American town Main Street – extra wide to allow for diagonal parking and eclectic mix of one and two store shops in all shapes and styles.
