⭐️FAMOUS NAME⭐️ If you’ve ever wondered where the name Rosie’s comes from, here ya go: Rosie Dale, the infamous madam of River Street, ran afoul of Police Chief Walter Johnson—an interesting chap who, for more than 20 years, ruled the city streets with a baton in one hand and dirty money in the other. Unable to pay her protection fees, she was banished from the city by Johnson. But the feisty madam didn’t give up. Rosie set up shop several blocks southeast of town, outside of Johnson’s jurisdiction, and her business took off once again. The only problem? “Clients” now needed a way to reach her new location. So, horses were trained to find their way to the brothel and back by themselves. Rosie’s customers simply hopped aboard the buggy and grabbed the reins — the horses did the rest. Our name is both a tribute to Rosie’s tenacity and ingenuity, and to the colourful history of the city and neighbourhood we call home! *Unfortunately there’s no known images of Rosie. So using the timeframe, profession, region, etc. we used Ai to generate what she may of looked like. We took some liberties by adding the peg leg (literally one person said that’s what they thought they heard, and we ran with it 😆). #rosiedale #madamofriverstreet #historicmoosejaw #rosiesonriver #moosejaw #downtownmoosejaw
