Westminster View

New edit of an older photo. This used to be my morning view, back when I lived in Wolseley.

Pumphouse

Portage and Main

Grain Exchange Annex

Lombard Avenue (built 1920, demolished 2011). New edit of an old photo.

Donald Street. New edit of an old photo.

Yellow Warehouse

Main Street. Old, previously unedited photo.

Winnipeg Cold Storage

Salter Street. Old, previously unedited photo.

Vi-Ann

Osborne Street. Old, previously unedited photo. The whole Osborne Village/Shopper's Drug Mart/Vi-Ann/Movie village fiasco is too depressing to even talk about, and has been discussed plenty on pretty much every other Winnipeg blog. So I'll stick with this photo, shot a couple of years ago in the Village.

Dairi-Wip

Marion Street. New edit of an old photo.

St. Charles Hotel

Albert and Notre Dame (built 1913). In the winter months, when it becomes increasingly difficult to get out shooting, I sometimes find myself without new photos to post. When this happens I dig around in the archives for any forgotten gems that perhaps I missed the first time 'round.

So for the next couple of days, I'll be posting some of these old cast-offs, or in some cases re-edits of previous posts.

Norlyn

Hargrave Street. Old, previously untouched photo. Sure hope The Wagon Wheel finds a new home. I'm not going to miss the building when it comes down later this year, but I'll sure miss the world's best clubhouse if the restaurant doesn't re-open.

Metro Meats

Euclid Avenue. New edit of an old photo.

Roy's Florist

A couple additional shots of Roy's Florist today (Notre Dame Avenue). Really, storefronts in Winnipeg just don't come any better than this: Sleek architecture; gorgeous, eye-catching neon signage; and a well-thought-out window display.

Roy's is a throw back to the days when business owners gave a shit about the image they put out onto the street. What the hell happened in the last 30 years that has made it acceptable for these business owners to turn a blind eye to aesthetics?

From the St. John's neighbourhood.

Alycia's (Closed)

McGregor Street. Not having a Ukrainian Baba, I've been faced with the dilemma of where to get my perogy fix, now that Alycia's has permanently closed its doors. Suggestions welcome.
