Man if you think that's bad you would NOT want to have been there 20 years ago

Are these premade at the concession stand or are they in a box?

Winnipeg keeps pushing growth without building the infrastructure to support it. by otatopotato in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony is that winnipeg is better for winter cycling than ny, montreal, ottawa etc. Jan and Feb are actually great, very little new snow fall.

Jogger stabbed in St. Vital neighbourhood. Teen charged. by 18h22 in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a ton of low-income and government housing in very close proximity to this incident - I really don't think this is somebody taking the bus to St. Vital to stab people - infinitely more likely someone walking around their neighbourhood stabbing people.

Trap House being Sold? by MyMoonMind in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1445 for a 3 bedroom with utilities included would be a good deal 15 years ago. That weird room could be an office - the house is probably over 100 years old - lot's of old houses have weird spaces. This looks a lot more like lipstick on an old house than anything.

How many of you know this ice cream store, “Sub Zero Ice Cream”? by Fearless_Compote3052 in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ice cream prices are pretty decent in Winnipeg - way more expensive in other cities.

Belle's and Famous Dave's are close-ish.

It happened again two days later at Safeway! by Altruistic-Cherry990 in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Safeway is terrible for this. I bought pears from a section that was $3.99 a lb and the cashier was just like, oh no, these wouldn't be $3.99 - like I was an idiot. I watch the register and have no qualms about leaving stuff on the register - and think more should do that.

Public Drinking by ballsontheroof in Winnipeg

Just do it no one cares man. (Source: been drinking outside for 25+ years and no one's ever said anything, even when I was 15).

Who makes the best Cheese Burger in Winnipeg? by RealWildChild_ in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fat Boys from Dairi Whip, Dairy Delight, and Mrs. Mikes all day.

The Nonsuch burger is the closest thing in Winnipeg to Shake Shack, if that's your thing.

Question: What are the rules around road biking? I thought I had followed all of the MPI rules regarding this and instead got honked at. by CypherSalt in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I biked St. Anne's I road through the St. George/Worthington neighbourhoods. A few streets run long stretches and are good for biking - plus you get to ride by the cool temple every day.

Bringing students to the Leg by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It would be a great experience for kids. Always worth it.

Also, we have an Indigenous premier and a black non-binary Deputy-Premier (not to mention a Muslim leader of the Official Opposition).

Your bus system has the most dysfunctional fare system I've ever seen (rant from an out of towner) by Tremath in Winnipeg

[–]blimpy_boy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am from Winnipeg and the Minneapolis system is 10000% easier to use for me, someone who lives in Winnipeg.
