"Bannatyne" is the name of a campus of the University of Manitoba, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
"Chevrier" Blvd. is a street in Winnipeg, about 5 miles from downtown Winnipeg.
I have the vinyl LP; the jacket has, on its front side, the words "So Long, Bannatyne" above the "red Chevy" with a Manitoba plate. In the background is a building labeled "Bannatyne Apartments".
On the back side of the LP jacket is the red Chevy again, but this time it's in a residential neighborhood.
I couldn't find any Canadian towns named "Bannatyne" or "Chevrier".
So, I'd say the song is about leaving college, or leaving an apartment in the city, and moving out to a house in the suburbs.
@wdfarmer The song "So Long, Bannatyne" refers to a street name where Kurt winter used to live, Bannatyne Boulavard 543. The lyrics "Hello, My Chevrier Home" in the song also refer to a new home in Fort Gary on Chevrier Ave. The apartment on Bannatyne can be seen in the album cover. If you search "So long, Bannatyne" and look at the images you will come across the house in Fort Gary.
