Winnipeg is a nice enough city, with lovely neighbourhoods. All the streets are lined with grand old elms and the older homes, apartments and buildings are allowed to stay...adding to the soul and warmth of the city, unlike another Canadian city I know where such structures are bought, razed to the ground and built over, again and again.
If you happen to be in Winnipeg, and if it's not nice enough to be outside, here are my top picks for places to kill time inside:
- the lobby lounge at the old Fort Garry
- McNally Robinson bookstore
- MEC - right across the street from the office!
- Cinematheque - independent and alternative filmhouse
- any movie theatre - movies in Winnipeg are between $1.75 and $7.00 - cheap, cheap, cheap
- Mondragons - a radical bookstore-slash-coffeehouse with a vegan menu, fair trade coffee, regular discussions and film/doc showings. Excellent food and scrumptious chocolate chip cookies.
That was Winnipeg.
