      I don’t normally think of THAT as being it’s main route to notoriety, but they do still serve the cocktail. The toe gets re-used.

      “Paris of the [blank]” was a pretty standard phrase used to attract settlers.

      “Paris of the Prairies” was commonly used to describe Winnipeg, but also Saskatoon as noted in the Tragically Hip song Wheat Kings.
