Pinewood
Does
Pinewood exist? I wondered, but I now know.
Thanks to emails from Richard and Katie, I've been informed that Pinewood
is a hamlet of about 30 houses 18 kilometres east of Rainy
River.
Although the town used to support farming and the railway, when the trains
stopped stopping it seems Pinewood went the way of many small towns in northern
Ontario.
There doesn't seem to be many services in town - the old hotel and shops have
closed. Pinewood has quite a large baseball diamond which sees quite active
use in the summer. The town has a post office (in a resident's home, no less),
a cemetery and a playground. Nearby, the community of Dawson continues farming.
All in all, Pinewood and Dawson may be small and quiet, but they're alive
and kicking to this day.
