Winnipeg Walking Video 8 - Downtown Winnipeg - Main Street and King Street - Winter 

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

That’s fantastic! We just did another one, it’ll be posted soon. Do you know what area you’ll be moving to?

@@thisprairiegirl8511 Thank's for answer🤗 Unfortunately, we still have long emigration way🤷 and what exactly area we don't know yet, but in our plans is Winnipeg 😉 Wish you good weather and full battery for your videos for all of us😁🤘

Super! Yes I imagine it’s a bit of a process! If there is anywhere you want to see, let me know and I’ll go take a walk there. :)

A tour of the tunnel connecting City Hall to the Museum would have been fun.

@@Zeus0530 I’ll go underground soon!

Hi Don!! Glad you found the page!! Go Bombers! 😁

That’s cool! Are there any plans in the works to have anything open up there again? I think the last place was pierogies??

@@thisprairiegirl8511 The plans are in place to open the Royal Albert Bar after covid.

Seen some great shows at the Albert back in the 90s!

@@jackherer9550 Green Day played there in '94.

​@@donseaton3180Dave Grohl Pre- Nirvana and Tool played the Albert and alot of other big names back in the day.

Thanks. Our downtown is growing and changing and a great neighbourhood. 😊

​@@thisprairiegirl8511 Growing if crime in 2024😮

Yep, the greenery of summer changes everything drastically! Not long now.

Same!! 😊 thanks for watching!

your so right portage was nothing but a drug infested place even on a good day and i was also there when they ripped eatons out of there my great grandmother immigrated from england to halifax then onto wpg where she washed floors in there and because of needing money for the family my grandmother felt bad that she was the only one in the family making money at the time that she quit grade 11 to get on her hands and knees to help her that was living back then. i do know and remember winterpeg very well. it's not as good as some might think .trust me on this.

I peg the last straw as the closing of Hudson's Bay...but the end of Eatons for sure kicked off the downhill slide.

I agree regarding the Eaton's store. Everyone thought Portage Place would breathe a new life into Winnipeg and it did the opposite.

​@@markanthony3275I still cannot believe they closed that Bay store. I loved going down there. I worked for a time at 333 Maryland which was the WCB at the time and I used to go to that store all the time.

@@BunnyTheChi WCB almost right on the corner of Portage and Maryland? I used to pass by there all the time when I was going to trade school and residing at the luxurious Alf Holl Court apartment block about 200 yards north of WCB on Maryland...back in the early 80's LOL. I did go to the downtown Bay when I had a doctor's appointment at the Winnipeg Clinic right by the Bay Parkade probably about ten years ago. It was sad, there was only two floors of store left. I just wanted to see the fur trade murals above the elevators on the first floor one last time. I talked to a cashier who pointed out all the crappy impossible to sell merchandise that was collecting dust in display cases. She said they deliberately sabotaged the store by stocking it with merchandise they knew nobody would buy...and use that as a pretext to close it. Too bad! And now they are turning Winnipeg into one big urban reserve by handing them all these historic properties downtown. Now it's a haven for bums.When Winnipeg begin to refuse to spray for weeds and dandelions, that was a metaphor for the weeds taking over the city...weeds ...if you know what I mean!

There’s a great set of bones inside!! Not sure I’d be allowed to film in there when it’s open tho. 😊

We are rebels in the name of video continuity!! 🤣

We got lucky this year and didn’t have too much snow at all over winter, compared to some other years. Thanks for watching!

Winnipeg resident here. It’s not always brutally cold in January. While it can be -40 C we can also have days of near zero or slightly above as well. Judging from how the snow looks in this video and the melt water on the streets this was a mild winter day for Winnipeg.

@@d7458 how high are you its crazy cold in january/feb born and raised there how come you didn't bother to head all the way downtown and really show what goes on there? if your going to show mainstreet do it right to the northern hotel!

Oh Winnipeg downtown doesn't need to be saved. I've lived in the Exchange for 15 years now, before that I lived near UofW for a few years. Downtown has always had a solid community with lots of food, art, music, bars and 'life', it just wasn't open and accessible to the vast majority of Winnipegers who know nothing about it. But you're right that we need more condos. Luckily that's been improving steadily for about 10 years now. Almost all of the East Exchange is condos with more coming every year, and more are planned for the West Exchange along with other investment from UofM and RRC. So downtown is doing great and will becoming even better with each passing year.

If they had a mayor that wasn't scared to say that natives are causing a crime wave, there might have been some hope. I know people on the Police force...almost every incident they respond to downtown and in the North End is a native problem.

​@@KarlHeinzofWpg Downtown is now filled with crime

@@supremeleaderarmy9164 Downtown is filled with great people, businesses and culture.

@@KarlHeinzofWpg Why lie? Anyone who frequent downtown knows its in dire need to be saved. You are DELUSIONAL
