Even crazier is Van Halen 1984 came out when I was in high school, and that was only 10 years ago!

I maintain that if cities had anthems, Winnipeg would be Jump. I feel like Winnipeg is just "Forever 1984"... Like the city was never better than then.

Sounds like the downtown will look a little different in the coming years

Was having a beer last Friday night at the LOTW bar with another parent and friend. We were commenting on how nice all the new buildings are and how nice it was downtown. We need shelters for the homeless but the investments that taxpayers have made to improve the area are noticeable.

I've spent a fair bit of time the last few weekends at the Sport Manitoba building near Waterfront and it was really nice walking around that area & grabbing a drink at the Pumphouse at the end of the day.  There are areas of downtown that are still pretty bad but there are also areas that have really improved.

I worked on the Sport For Life facility file when it was proposed and through construction. It's a great facility. I still remember the groundbreaking ceremony when it wasn't even certain the land would be available, and the city was late with its funding. Those are stories for another day.

I remember when the Exchange District had a bustling bar scene. Those were the days.
