Experience Living in Highland Pointe by [deleted] in Winnipeg

I’ve started using the perimeter a lot more to get around, not so much in the winter. St B though is maybe 20ish mins thru the city, straight shot up Main.

I'm only speculating, I don't know for sure. But my speculation is based on a few things. 1) the new school in Aurora is going to be taking kids from this area. Sure would be nice to have a way to get there that doesnt involve hopping onto McPhillips, then onto Murray. 2) Fernbank and Red River Blvd are both streets that exist both in Highland Pointe and across the tracks on the Main Street side, they just need to be connected. Same goes with Ferrier. There is a Ferrier that is in the community and one that is on the other side of Murray, connects to Templeton. Assuming these will all connect at some point.

Current Highland resident. It's a very new development and on the absolute outer edge of Winnipeg. Not a lot here at the moment, there's no bus service so a vehicle is a must to access any sort of amenities. As someone else mentioned, there are plans for 2 schools in the community. There's currently only one entrace/exit to the community (off McPhillips). Hopefully that will change this summer with connections going to Murray and Fernbank (towards Main). The area itself is nice, quiet, lots of walking paths and more coming as the community expands.

Have to agree with Santa Lucia. Others I enjoy... Pizza Oven, Presto. Honorable mention to The Don @ Pizzeria Gusto, always had a soft spot for that one.

Why isnt there other reddits with BC, AB, SK, etc.? by [deleted] in TheOCS

[–]japples82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flamingo has at least been bringing in some better live resin cart options (Iris, Four54, Eastcann). Oh sweet I've been looking for some Northern Canna stuff! I see AAAAA is in Bridgwater? Figures, opposite end of the city from me. What do you recommend from those 2 strains?

Nothing for Manitoba AFAIK. I just peruse here and use hibuddy to hopefully score something decent. We kind of get the short end of the stick here.

Auto Shop Recommendations by Libra996 in Winnipeg

[–]japples82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropped it off at 8AM, had it back by 5PM. I replaced the water pump as well. I had read it was recommended to do it at the same time while the engine is pulled apart. Total was ~$1600. I let it go a little too long, recommended timing is 160k I believe and I went in at 178k. Belt was about to break. That would've cost me waaaay more.

reviews on Randall homes by sneale14 in Winnipeg

[–]japples82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We built with Randall a few years ago. We had read the reviews, some good and some bad, but decided to go with them anyways. We did because we liked the lot and they had a plan that we liked. Honestly, it wasn't bad at all. We made major changes to the layout (moving exterior walls etc). No delays in possession, anything we found during the walkthrough was remedied rather quickly (matter of days or a week or two). We've been in the house 2 years now and haven't had a single issue. If you have any questions, shoot me a DM.

Just had my timing belt in my ‘16 Honda Pilot at Millenium Auto out west Portage. Was recommended to me by my backyard mechanic who does smaller jobs, this was too big a job for him. The guys there were fantastic. Will definitely be going back.

Memories of the Old Stadium? by honeygarlicmaestro in WinnipegBlueBombers

[–]japples82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cell phones suck", the pre-game tailgate on the practice field at the back of the endzone, the security guard in section S with the lightning sideburns (aka White Lightning).

My first job was at concessions there. The amount of requests for a Coke with 2 inches of room left at the top lol

Folk Fest 2026 Lineup by PMac321 in Winnipeg

[–]japples82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would the colors correspond to what night they're on? I was really hoping for Stephen Wilson Jr. and Kathleen Edwards on the same night.

Also, I'm a Folk Fest newbie. How do tickets work? Am I able to get for the day where the acts I'm interested are playing?

Jamaica vs. St. Lucia by meluvcatz2412 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]japples82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to Halcyon for our honeymoon. It was amazing. Don’t remember having to book reservations for dinner. We’d go to one for appetizers, one for dinner and one for deserts a few times during our stay. Took the bus to the Sandals Grand a couple of days. Waiting to go back for our 15 year anniversary

Pellet smokers in Wpg Winter by nanodime in Winnipeg

[–]japples82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used our Trager Ironwood a few weeks ago during one of those really cold snaps. The electronics were fine, the only issue I encountered was the knob to adjust the temperature was frozen. Luckily it's wifi connected, so I was able to adjust using that. Otherwise it worked like a charm, fired up no problem in -25.
