Now, at that corner, is a metal fenced empty plot with green grass and a few shrubs and trees.<br /><br />Thanks - ROB.<br />ROBCANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852169660470080196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-48214679951150751802011-07-06T09:16:40.140-05:002011-07-06T09:16:40.140-05:00Yes, this is it here !

My Grandparents moved to the North End (Flora) in 1969 from a farm in the Interlake, and I remember that distinctive onion-dome monument on Selkirk. <br /><br />Please refresh my memory...isn't that a remnant from some past Selkirk Ave improvement project from the 70's?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-48583629971753122312011-04-11T00:39:43.421-05:002011-04-11T00:39:43.421-05:00Selkirk should be full of aboriginal art shops, ne...Selkirk should be full of aboriginal art shops, neat cafes and places like that.<br /><br />Not sure who you would contact.

I would be happy to offer design resources to make a spreadsheet of shweet restaurants and places all hip again.<br />It's a great thing you don't sniff out the industrial stench I have to walk past at U of M's Fort Garry campus everyday. :]Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624436100955253930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-16417401880490357262011-04-08T10:58:44.712-05:002011-04-08T10:58:44.712-05:00You know the BIZ doesn't have a web page (I wa...You know the BIZ doesn't have a web page (I was looking for a link fro this story) and a lot of the better known businesses have no web pages either.<br /><br />Maybe that's a good first step for improving business on the street - get the word out for ones that are already there.<br /><br />It's not the sort of street that can rely 100% on foot traffic to make their customer base.<br /><br />I guess your sniffer needs some fine tuning. Maybe it's the smell of bagels in the air (or the stale beer smell wafting from the merchants) that's throwing you off track !Christian Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691310860448400887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-87577994454621489672011-04-08T10:33:42.914-05:002011-04-08T10:33:42.914-05:00Thanks to all the bloggers who have been doing sto...Thanks to all the bloggers who have been doing stories on the North End - I finally feel like we haven't been forgotten here, I can stop my blog now.<br /><br />...just kidding. I am very curious as to the antique store on Selkirk Ave as mentioned in the Times article - I can usually sniff out an antique store a mile away and I have never seen it, and I am on Selkirk Ave. multiple times a week. Does anyone know which shop this guy owns? Perhaps his problem is signage more than anything?Winnipeg Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295414233123710760noreply@blogger.com
