Regent Avenue. Inspired by recent discussions at newwinnipeg.com, I took a drive down Regent to Downtown Transcona. It may be tiny, but the two or three blocks towards the end of Regent that comprise Downtown is a refreshing and vibrant little stretch. The highlight was this amazing (although badly in need of restoration) sign.

The sign has be re-done and there are new owners, check it out sometime.
The building has now been destoryed by fire on Friday, Feb.12 2010
That's terrible news. I hope the owners are able to rebuild.
Sadly, the building has been demolished -- and without proper asbestos-remediation procedures, reportedly.
Global Winnipeg has video of the store being knocked down. The backhoe pushes at the facade, and the sign comes crashing down: http://www.globalwinnipeg.com/story.html?id=3277700
