--Before the concert we ate at a restaurant called Original Joe's. It's on the corner of Kenaston and Grant (I think). It was excellent.
--There is a street in Winnipeg called Saskatchewan Drive (or Avenue) and it is going to be closed for three years. THREE YEARS! while they do road construction.
--I don't think I have ever gone to or left Winnipeg and NOT seen a police cruiser in Headingley with someone pulled over.
--There is, apparently, some controversy in Winnipeg over a new stadium for the Blue Bombers. Some home owners have complained they don't want it at the current location (near University of Manitoba) because they suspect fans will be urinating excessively in their yards as they leave the game. I drove by the site and I don't think there is a home within 2 miles of where that new football field is going to be erected (no pun intended).
--Pays to be a Costco member if you live in Winnipeg. You save 7-cents a litre on gas.
--If you need good security for your next event, get a hold of whoever that was at the Bon Jovi concert. They cleared those aisles in record time and didn't put up with any socializing. Also, during the encore, one lady security officer just about climbed over top of me to prevent a guy from taking a photo. Apparently cameras aren't allowed? Tell that to the thousands that have already posted shots on Facebook!
--Manitoba highways don't have paved shoulders?
--Don't stop at the Co-op in Gladstone as you may get a female employee who, clearly, doesn't like her job. She wasted no time telling my wife and I that she was working the closing shift for the 15th night in a row, doesn't have a day off until Tuesday, blah, blah, blah.
--Neepawa has expanded since the last time I was through. Kudos to the retail development.
