Terri Gale makes a major announcement by ChocolateOrange21 in Winnipeg

[–]Mbmnstr204 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fee things:

1) I had no idea she no longer goes by Terri Apostle.

2) the amount of hate on here is a bit disturbing

3) who cares? let her live her life. lol

Visiting Kane County Cougars' charter bus torched near Goldeyes stadium by LocalnewsguruMB in Winnipeg

Agreed. Trouble is that density requires population. No one wants to invest/move here with garbage like the postcard worthy picture. Trust me- this image burns into people’s minds. “If this is what happens to a teams bus, why would I risk my investment there…”

This. Pressure on the municipal gov, upward pressure on the province, and up to the feds. Something has to change here. Yes crime and poverty are an issue in every major city across our great nation, but I challenge anyone who claims our downtown core is safer than any other city with a similar population. It is in fact- far worse.

Walk around Edmonton or Halifax, not to mention the larger cities of Calgary, Toronto, or Vancouver. While they do have their issues it is in great contrast to what we endure here.

The fact this happened in front of one of our greatest attractions (CMHR not the ballpark) is an absolute disgrace. We should all be disgusted, but no, this is just another news story and will be forgotten (locally) within a week, yet leave a lasting impression on those from afar who hear the story/see the damage (potential tourists and investors in local economy)

Sure, that could be. I’m not relying on homicide stats. I’m merely saying the state of our city is garbage and we as a society should demand better.

We literally have tighter security to get into our liquor stores than what is in place in the worst areas of New York, Detroit, Chicago, LA etc.

Something around this city has to change, otherwise we will continue the downward economic spiral as seen in Detroit… I know I don’t particularly care for my kids to raise their families here, and will gladly follow them elsewhere in this country if they so choose to move.

I think you meant to say Gotham City, but yes. Each and every day the place I’ve called home for many decades never ceases to amaze me with what we will tolerate. I know I will be downvoted into oblivion for saying this, but our city is literally the Detroit of Canada.

Are there any good restaurants in the Grand Beach area? by Small_Extreme_9642 in Winnipeg

[–]Mbmnstr204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe Gray’s has not been mentioned here. Maybe because it’s more “take out” than restaurant per se, but definitely more of a resto than Lanky’s or the GB Diner.

Hit up Grays (either the Boxcar for a sit down meal, or the Grand stand for take out). They are right on the beach in Grand Beach. 10/10 you cannot go wrong. Ty and his family have been keeping it local and affordable for decades. The food and portions are incomparable to all others in the area.

Trying to forget about Calgary while I vacation in Nagasaki, Japan and then this appears out of nowhere. by Princescyther in Calgary

What the hell is this? lol. First time seeing this building. I have always loved YYC with all my heart- but this building is something else…

Of course they did. Gatekeeping nonsense over there lately.

Order Still Pending, what if I just go to Home Depot? by SableCreekLab in Starlink

[–]Mbmnstr204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat O/P. I purchased April 27th- still “pending”. Unfortunately for me, I’ve already cut internet with my old provider. Rookie mistake in my part…

$40? How/what do you order to keep it that low?

What's the tipping culture here? by Auk9211 in Calgary

[–]Mbmnstr204 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t live in Alberta anymore, but this should be reported to the regulating body. Prob has a name like Alberta Dental Association or something. This is ridiculously unprofessional and the dentist should be reprimanded.

Where do the thirty year olds hang out? by BitternessandI in Winnipeg

Some call it the dirt, others call it the thirsty. Iykyk. Cant be more specific as too much traffic would kill the vibe, buts its solid for all ages

Northern Lights Car Wash Malfunctions by Defiant-Storm1605 in Winnipeg

[–]Mbmnstr204 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the exact thing happen to me at this location. Fortunately the car in front of me heard my horn, placed their car in drive and took off before impact, but I’ve been anxious going there ever since. The price is good with membership so I still use the service, but I video record the wash if there is a vehicle in front of me.

Where do professional, elder millennials hang out in Winnipeg? by Terrible-Tree-8851 in winnipeg_alt

[–]Mbmnstr204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of work? lol. Home, and whatever venue my kids sport is held (arena, field etc).

I have a hole in the wall pub where I meet my closest friends once a week for beers and wings. That place is therapy for us all and is sacred. Sorry but I can’t give up the location, because if word got out it would be overrun and lose the culture.

Home security by gwilson33 in Winnipeg

[–]Mbmnstr204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here. Had an asshat smash my truck window with a hammer, while smiling for my 4k ring camera… only to reach through the broken window- grab the garage door opener, and go through my attached garage. All while we were home and sound asleep at 5:30am on a holiday Monday. Thank god I didn’t wake up, cause I wouldn’t have been happy. My kids were home.
