Culture

In the early 1990s a violent youth subculture emerged from the quiet streets and alleys of this small sleepy albertan village. Disenchanted with the boredom and monotony of living in a rural farming community these youths called themselves 'The Bawlf Boys' and set out to make a name for themselves in the surrounding central Alberta area. They quickly moved to secure and declare as their territory an old abandoned gravel mine outside of town which they called 'The Pits' where social events were organized and from where Saturday night drunken excursions in pickup trucks were launched into the nearest urban center, Camrose, to terrorize any local youth that could be found foolish enough to be walking the streets alone. Camrose, a Canadian city, is situated in Central Alberta, amidst some of the richest farmland in the prairies. ...
