It is amazing what going for a couple of walks does for making you feel at home in your neighborhood. We now live in the building on the left in the above photo. It is a short walk down to the Forks and we can access the river walk from the park across the street from our building as well.
As much as I complain about Winnipeg, I really do like our part of the city. Sure it's a bit dirty, the garbage cans along the river walk are seldom emptied, the bus stops in the area are frequently vandalized, and there is an interesting and fragrant population of individuals who live in the park across the street. But, I like the city noise at night (even the entertaining drunken brawls), I like being walking distance from so many interesting spots, and I like living in a central location.
I even like our building - mostly. I like that there is an indoor pool, hot tub and steam room. I like that I can walk to our fitness club without going outside. I like that there is a little grocery mart on the first floor that has movies for rent.
As much as I'd rather live in dozens of other places, our spot isn't the worst place to be in the meantime.
