Stan, you mentioned there's a truckers hangout around her neighborhood, was it a pit stop place for them? I wonder if she would've hit up a trucker for a ride to Van or towards east? Not sure how Shannon felt about hitchhiking but maybe she had some cash on her and decided to do a Thelma & Louise style cross-province road trip. I don't think she would, seems a little risky but trying to think outside the box .
The truck stop of days gone by was a husky with a restaurant with seriously great food and pies at the interchange to 17th ave SE just before Deerfoot. The Shamrock and 11th street is the stroll for lower end hookers, so truckers could cruise their larger rigs there instead of downtown. I know that some from the other end of Canada would say she never went to the Shamrock but who knows (not sure if a band was playing that night), sometimes we like to get out of our routine watering holes and be anonymous for awhile. it's very close, convenient and sadly seedy but not in the trendy way.
