Goalie Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 (edited) It’s pretty destroyed. I dunno. There’s lots of suspicious characters around there at that time. Dude sleeps on the bus bench near by. It was probably him. Edited October 24 by Goalie
Brandon Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 Driving through downtown today for the first time in a few months... noticed many more buildings have been boarded up and are for lease. The tent city near Disraeli/Main has grown to a massive size with everything in that area now covered in graffiti. I saw a guy watering the streets with his home made apple juice from the boulevard near P & M. I saw maybe 10 normal working folks waiting for the bus or crossing streets and about 30 drunk folks stumbling around. Driving by Portage Place with a huge chunk being torn down and the beautiful park/water feature across the street still torn up and still being demolished.... feels like the aftermath of a warzone. I can't believe how far gone our downtown is. The mayor should be in crisis mode trying to do something with it. I'd never in a million years ever let my daughter or wife set foot in that area without some sort of protection. It's realllllllllly bad now.

When I was a kid, I used to go down by myself and I was like 12. Would not send a 12 year old down to do so now.

iHeart Posted Monday at 01:43 AM Report Posted Monday at 01:43 AM So it looks like that Strip mall where Peavy mart was on my end is getting a makeover (and maybe getting an extra unit?)

Brandon Posted Tuesday at 02:18 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 02:18 AM Another bus driver assaulted tonight near Springfield and Gateway. At this point nobody is going to want to drive or take transit in Winnipeg. Zero % chance that I'd let my kids ride public transit these days. Piggy 1 1

Mostly at the platforms at the C Train stations where assaults, murders, robberies & drug deals go down. The problem is the catch & release justice system we have now. Politicians keep talking about public safety but never do anything. Edited Tuesday at 03:58 AM by SpeedFlex27
