A seemingly random area when passing through. Always associated with the simple box stores and concrete roads. Goes to show everything has a history. Fun post! Looking forward to the next!
Thanks for checking it out Riley! Glad you enjoyed it and yes there will be more! I already have a couple of neighbourhood's photos done but just need to research and write the history parts. Cheers!
I always enjoy reading about the history of Winnipeg like this.
The motel-dominated era survived until recently with one particular motel on the strip, the Capri, seemingly out of place (it has now been torn down). I wondered why it would have been there, but now I know.
Thank you for checking it out! Yes, the Capri! I came across the sign for the motel that was still up on my walk. Yes it was indeed seemingly out of place.

Thank you for including the link to that old river lot map. I now know who held the original grant on my parents' and my grandfather's properties.
Oh wow amazing, I'm glad you found it helpful and you were able to locate that important information!
