If there is anything, and I mean ANYTHING at all in this god forsaken city.. name it here and it will be appreciated muchly

[jim_n 32,227]

Ive only ever driven through Winnipeg but I'm pretty sure its just a barren wasteland.

i'm from regina, and i've gotta say, that place is wildly depressing. the detroit of canada, imo.

ha - i used to live there, and ask myself that question every time I go home...

And struggling to think of things to do there.. It's a decent place to grow up but god forbid you live there now...

[Mr Fingers 15,664]

I thought about this all morning and nothing came to mind. Not trying to dis but..

god forbid you live there now...

[DJ_Flame 336,875]

I stayed there for 6 months, and it was the most barren town I ever experienced.

Sadly, I live here... Unless you're addicted to alcohol, drugs or gambling, you're better off not coming here. Winnipeg is a fucking embarrassment.

[Mr Fingers 15,664]

Not exactly SuFu fare, but one thing Wpg has over Vancouver is decent Caribbean food (Bindy's, Tropikis). That stuff is nowhere to be found here unless you go way out into the suburbs. I miss it.

Aren't there some sneaker spots downtown now or some shit?

[desertfox 2,043]

The only place downtown for sneakers is the Urban Bakery. Even that place isn't that special.

I heard they were getting ikea.

it went to the good people of cleveland instead. sorry winnepeg.

[Macwich 21,917]

^lol

thought id just update with the small amount of stuff ive found:

-Hooper's and Ragpicker's (both on mcdermot) have some decent vintage clothing at premium prices

-some place across from hoopers (cant remember name) sells Cheap Monday

-Danali sells Nudies blegh

-Urban Boutique on Osborne has Capital E Levis and a few decent sneakers

-also in the hoopers area (Exchange District) is a store that has fred perry

and that is winnipeg.. needless to say i get my shopping done online

ps i can easily find out the names of those stores if anybody wants

[Mr Fingers 15,664]

-Danali sells Nudies blegh

That place, hahah. I'm surprised they're still around. They had Nudies 4-5 years ago and because of the location (both the city and the section of it), clientele and price I find it hard to believe they'd ever sold any of them.

I thought there was a sneaker shop on McDermot, near Main. I heard about it and thought I saw it when I was there for Christmas.

[Macwich 21,917]

^yeah its connect four thanks. the guy i talked to at danali was pretty cool.. he had some 2 year old no wash reg ralfs up on display and they were fuckin torn to shit

The shop on mcdermot is called sole spot.

[HeenFung 10]

One of those shops are closed, either connect four or sole spot, I'm leaning towards sole spot. and check out Uncle Bob's!!!

[Macwich 21,917]

^yeah its def sole spot, i was at connect 4 a week ago. agreed about bob's

for anybody thats been looking for a military surplus store ever since the big one on portage shut down: go to H.M. Surplus on McDermot. It's inside the Imagine Games & Hobbies shop

[HeenFung 10]
