I hope you’re right as this spring has me pretty low, I need some football to get things steering in the right direction.

Two weeks from now will the trees have leaves? Will we be wearing layers and drinking hot chocolate to stay warm? What a year for the earliest start to the season ever.

Big Smoak is at Goldeyes games this year, opens tomorrow at 5pm for the exhibition game. Might have to buy some baseball tickets.

You can cay the menu seems similar but there is no comparison. Rob’s food is prepared from scratch and smoked incredibly. Would be a loss for Steinbach if he leaves.

So is my 9 yr old…

Noticed today that North Kildonan is getting another restaurant. Stella’s is moving into McIvor Mall where the RBC used to be. Torn between completely indifferent and mildly interested.

I feel like we must see each other on the daily commute. That or my alter ego is posting under your name. Love Jonesey’s but so busy again that you have to plan ahead. I also like Jeffery’s and Junction 59. The 9yr old has no love for 59 so that’s out most times. We may have had our last meal at Watt Street Bistro, drove by there Saturday evening and it looks to be gone. Would be so nice to have a Bellamy’s, Big Guys, Pasquale’s or something similar. I’m a little surprised no one has said “ What about Dals or Charley’s”. Been there, done that and don’t need to again. They don’t make it easy to match our dietary restrictions.

No argument on that here, just not really somewhere we would take out 9 yr old regularly.

Transcona/ East&North Kildonan do not need another chain fast food place. We need decent family restaurant with home made food. What I wouldn’t do for a Taverna Rodos, Papa’s, DJays or so many others that the city has but this area is void of.

Can I ask why? Even as a Celiac which eliminates 95% of the options I still found a couple I’d like to try.

I haven’t had a chance to look for a source but I believe it was sol off to someone else years ago.

Saw some IceTrax cleats on sale today and ordered them. Will just need to remember to take them off before coming in the house…

I do need to consider this for next winter, normally I am on walking paths through the parks that don't ice up but will the amount of snow this year not enough people were walking those and they were difficult to navigate.

Yes you can, that my whole point. All the elevators, escalators etc are in the centre of the building, completely inaccessible to perimeter residential units, or need to be removed a a centre courtyard. Without and concept drawings or anything it is impossible to say but it is 100’s of millions not 100 million. The recent federal budget allocated fund for affordable housing at $250000 per unit, these will cost more than that and this will likely be the only MB project funded by that initiative.

I hear what you are saying. That being said this winter has been hell on me, I’ve had three bad slip and falls walking the dog. A concussion that slowed me down for months and just this week a wrist injury that I initially thought might be broken but I think just a bad sprain.

At this point we are here because my wife’s parents are elderly and need our help sometimes. Leaving Bomber season tickets behind and some of the concerts and other great thing Winnipeg gets would be a struggle.

It is getting harder for me to want to stay here. I look at the April that Kelowna has had it certainly offsets the August smoke. I could likely give up the yard and space in the house for a condo and the beach and outdoors. Neither the wife or I would even need to change jobs to do it.

Had to run a pump in the side yard yesterday, pool of water about 4” deep against the foundation but no seepage. Sump pump is likely every 10 to 15 today, was every5 or less yesterday. Snowing currently as it was never that warm today, hopefully that allows the drainage system to catch up. Lots of roads under water, Concordia by Kildonan East, Henderson at North Perimeter. Apparently the entire northbound side of route 90 at Dublin has collapsed. Janice Lukes posting that all the retaining ponds in Waverly West have exceeded capacity.

When I could eat fried chicken I see to remember the Clandeboye store having great fried chicken. KFC is the worst.

Best quick serve coffee there is. If my travel mug from home gets empty and I need another I will drive past every other until a McD’s. If you are in the city hit up a Sals. They have some coupons right now that make it cheaper than McD’s and much better food. I do agree that McD’s are the best quick serve fries(when fresh and hot).

I’m going to guess 600 Million for the full project to be completed. The only original part that will remain is the outer wall. Can’t have residential space without windows so that can only be the outer ring, unless the hollow out the middle for a “courtyard” type space. Abandoning 1/3 or more of the square footage.

I’ll back you up. When we first looked it was “under review” or some such status. They were investigating but had no definitive answer yet.

I for one thank you and appreciate your efforts and graciousness to host the lot of us.

Snores was my first look too. Again recipes between Canada and US can vary as well but having fed Mc D”s ice cream to a pup many times I would think it is false as well.

Do you have an actual source or evidence? From what I can find just a bunch of social media posts without source themselves.
