the arsonist that tried to torch the St V Walmart was the same loser that tried to burn down property on McPhillips last year.....yeah he's going right back in (especially with all those damages like ten mil)

Only takes 2 months to turn your life around /s

I feel like that because of the justice system we have even if you're not a criminal you're practically in prison

So they're replacing Blue Notes with a brand store of the parent company that owns Blue Notes also Forever 21 is done

Also RIP the last remaining Toys R Us store in Winnipeg the Play lab didn't do anything to save it (I don't know if there's one left but they should treat that like the last remaining Blockbuster in the US) Toy Story 5 warned us about all this. I don't have a link someone had posted on the Transcona page that it was closing and there were store closing signs everywhere....I'm kind of sad now, I'll have to make one final trip

And polo park is following suit

Okay now we are going to be Toys R Us-less better start your Christmas shopping now people

now about that Stella's is OEB closing?

As are Facebook Marketplace, yard sales and thrift stores. It's a fool's errand to break the bank on toys.

yeah but I don't online shop, I want to but it will probably become an addiction which I don't need, especially if the item doesn't meet my expectations

I went to my local Toys R Us for one final trip just so I could get started on Toy Mountain a little bit early....well I'm now convinced to try Kite and Kaboodle more often (it's shopping local)

Good! Too many sketchy people at my Walmart lately.

Apparently there's a province wide 911 outage excluding the City of Winnipeg.....if there's a Manitoba thread I better find it and bump it (no there isn't and yet there were two Winnipeg threads)

Apparently there was a fibre cut to the PSAP in Brandon which caused the outage.

Entertainment attractions are coming to fill the former Hudson’s Bay space in St. Vital Centre.

This is what happens when you already have a Marshalls and Homesense with Winners close by

so kind of similar to what the old A&B sound building and briefly Portage Place used to do?

Okay so Spirit Halloween has their planned Winnipeg Stores for this year

Once again it will go into the Former Family Foods on St Mary's and the Former Marks near Polo Park..

and you know it's funny, when they announced that Toys R Us was closing on my end my first thought was "I want to know when they're closing too, it would be nice to have a Spirit Halloween close to home", sounds like the Regent Toys R Us has either already closed or will close in time for Spirit Halloween to go in

Yeah, there's video of him being pushed out of the Pal's patio by 3 security dudes and you can see Allen fall down as he exits.

The downtown has it's problems but to **** on it every time something happens is comical.

well can't wait to hear Palomino's side of the story

He was drunk and out of control and they needed to remove him for the safety of the customers.

50/50 % shot on who has the real story. I've seen over zealous security guards back in my youth... but I've also seen a **** tonne of idiots acting up at the bar and then cry innocent when they are tossed out.

Usually if you act normal and don't cause trouble the security wont target you.

It will be interesting to see what the market is for 3 buildings that are going up for sell around the arena. Radisson, Somerset and Met.
