I grew up in the northend when I was younger we were poor yes my mom tried her best at raising us one thing I'll never forget is she showed us alot of great memories going for car rides blasting Charlie major we went bike riding as a family too went to birds Hill park went swimming my mom even use to play tag with us took us sliding in the winter took us to play baseball as a family with other family went on picnics took us hiking at birds Hill went to Beach's she did so much great things yes there were bad times but she never gave up on us kids I love the northend it's changed alot I always knew it would since the 90s it gets a bad name but it all depends how you live your life it's home to me
Throw garbage all over the streets and sidewalks, urinating against buildings. Passing out in the bus shelters. If this was my land I'd treat it far better and have some pride in it . Talk is cheap.
For how sketchy areas like those are and how much bad vibes they give off, they are surprisingly comfortable for me. I used to live in the Eastern Hoods of Calgary (specifically in Forest Lawn), and I feel personally people living in those communities have a greater sense of bond and wellbeing with each other than a normal North American suburb. It's almost like, there's an atmosphere of "things may be bad, but we'll get through things, together". Mix that with the larger variety of mix-use land and just weird oddities, it overall is just more comfortable and fun living in a community like that for me. Although I must add, communities like Dover, Forest Lawn, Red Carpet, Shepard, Marlborough, etc are NOTHING in comparison to the Winnipeg North End -- but they are still similar, just more tame in comparison to the Winnipeg North End
There are a lot of good, hard-working people that live in the North End whom are trying to make their neighbourhood a better and safer place to live and work. People need to take a closer look at their own neighbourhoods & themselves before passing judgement. The sad & pathetic reality is that some people that live in these so-called "nicer neighbourhoods" think that their shite don't smell! There's a whole lot of ugly going on in those in "prettier neighbourhoods"!
Fucking rights, this one time I was in Island Lakes waiting to catch the 16, now mind you this is a white neighborhood and everyone is a "Good" Samaritan, fucking lies. The 16 at the time was 20 minutes away, and not gonna lie, my clothing at the time was alittle unappealing and would make it seem like I didn't belong, but it's 2018 I thought shit like that would be over and done, boy was I wrong, there were these undercover police officers that was cruising around that day, and also was a hot day too, I deicided to find some shade cause fuck the heat right? Well there was this tree in the divider of the road and I thought "Perfect!" I go sit and wait patiently, as 10mins pass by, I decided I was cool enough and went back to the bustop, I take my seat at the bench and waited, but suddenly a black car comes in the incoming lane of traffic and just rests right in front of me as I'm waiting for the bus, Two Officers! (Which I didn't know at the time.) They both come up to me and ask what I was doing in the area, I told them waiting for the bus and that they should mind their business cause why should other civilians care what I was doing, he also mentioned that I didnt belong i the area just because of my baggy appearal, and my glasses at the time were duct taped. Now I told them I had no time for this and tried walking away. They grabbed me by the arms and placed some cuffs on, now I guess they were expecting tears and plead for innocence, FUCK NO! I was furious I straight yelled at that cops face to let me go, and I told them you won't find my name in your database cause I didn't violate any laws, I proved them wrong by standing up and knowing my rights. I told them it was an illegal detainment because they didn't identify themselves until the apprehension, and that when they pulled up no lights came on. Not even to signify other drivers that official Police business was happening. I also tried to get their badge number but they just quickly flashed it and that was it. But I do have a name and that I might one day pop up in a Precinct and ask for this officers name and tell them about the illegal detainment. What I'm trying to say is, Racial Profiling is still a bitch!!!
At the same time, there's rampant vermin running around shooting and stabbing everything that moves. Don't you fucking dare pass this off on the "Nicer" neighborhoods, maybe start with your own residents by knocking some fucking sense into them.
Alright so I'm Onondaga/Mohawk from Montreal. Northside looks a little rough but you find some bad parts in every city. I bet you there are really beautiful parts of North Winnipeg but they're just not up on this video. Montreal's got some pretty sketchy places too. But lastly, enough with the racism. "Fuckin Indians.." Grow up, Indians are from India. Also, I'm not one of those "Red til were dead" Natives, but I don't appreciate Natives from other tribes being called down.
Be proud of your history man! You are an original. I don't know who i am. But Winnipeg is my home town and at this time of year, ya, i get a little nostalgic remebering hot summer nights and Christmas downtown. Peace my friend. All the best to you and yours for 2021. ss vancouver
when SOMEONE is givin FREE everything in life to them that is sacred to others who work for it... then what is free isnt treated the same way!!!! no respect, but they demand it!!!!!
+Asel Karakeeva Sadly most of the people that viewed this see it as negative.I see it as nostalgic and timeless.All the people who have lived there in the last 100 years and the great stories these homes could tell if they could talk.Sure there is poverty but many of these people are still happy..I think the photo's are beautiful
I used to go to the Merchants Hotel when I was a kid. It was the only place you could buy a case of beer when you where 16 and pick up a dime bag in one stop. All joking aside, I grew up in the area and it was rough when I was a kid but some of my greatest memories where of the churches shown and the many family weddings. I used to go see cheap movie at the Palace and sneak in a coil of Kolbassa and a loaf of kub bread. With my friends. Things have changed.
i use to run around the northend taking pictures had a pentax k-1000 and a bag of equipment with me. I was part of the photography program at the gallery on higgins and was about 15 at the time and nothing ever happened to me. not every body is hard up in that area, like all of yous are making it sounds like. I grew up around there but its not as bad as it sounds like the news makes it sounds bad shit happens everywhere and to everybody regardless of what race people are! Natives arent the only people living in the northend either theres lots of asians and white folk in there too lol No matter how sad everybody seems to think the northend of winnipeg is this video made me miss living around there, have alot of good times n good memories in that area
I love the decay of the north end/downtown core - there is beauty in the rot. A camera easily dreams in black and white in Wpg. I love my hometown of Wpg but we really blew it as a village raising children especially in the 80's. Bachman sings of a Wpg from a whiter era - the 60's/70's - then first nations migration exploded. Opportunity squandered....
I moved away in 91 and i wish i hadn't moved to Vancouver people in Vancouver for the most part are colder than a February day in Winnipeg with a 50km wind. Call it the hood call it a hole I would still be proud to call it my home, even though pretty much everyone I knew has left it.
Winnipeg is the poorest big city in north america...the north end is 1 of 4- huge poor neighbourhoods.. the only thing it has going for it is The Forks..cruise through it in a day and thats it.
My Mom and Dad grew up in Winnipeg's North End. I heard about the snow and Portage and Main and I haven't been in Winnipeg in years. Watching this video, makes me grateful my parents moved to California. No one seems to take pride in where they live and this place looks like it shoud be leveled.
i was born and raised in the south side which is beautiful and no one sees that, people only care about the bad because there's more to judge. what a wonderful world
@MikeyMe2007 I agree, I lived in the in that nieghborhood for 25 months and yes, shit happened, but if you look for trouble, you will find trouble. I never had any problems because i didnt go out looking for it. Have a nice day:)
Some fab warehouse parties in early 90s and a few good clubs in the Exchange area: Whispers and the Royal Albert and the Pyramid. Moved away shortly thereafter and must say I like my Eastend, London but the hipsters here would LOVE to get their hands on some of those dilapidated properties.
danm first murder of 2009 happened right outside my house stjohns and charles. rip to whom that was. Moved right out of there not far down the block main and borrows lol me and the wifey do miss pegcity ,we met children of the earth high school back in 2008 live back in the rez and still going strong.
I lived in Winnipeg for about 6 years and must say that Winnipeggers are one of the most generous people I ve met so far...unfortunately there are so many tensions among ethnical groups. Why does the government pay so much money to the native population instead of integrating them into society????? this creates racism... The city can do better...I hope winnipeg turns out to a safer and more beautiful place.. very dirty and ugly city (except the south end)...
I am currently living in the NE and its not bad, but it's no prize either. And am currently going to college to get out of this part of the city. I've got my eyes set on Kenaston and Grant. U know a place in the city where u can actually leave your doors unlocked without having to worry about any gross "savages" breaking into your house. And yes I am Aboriginal, but not one of those kind.
I think we all know about the negative things of the north end, but these pictures are mainly of all the streets south of burrows, north of Sutherland, and east of Arlington, and west of main. Could have at least shown Pritchard close to mcphillips or Pritchard avenue in the shaughnessy park neighborhood (part of the north end). Why not Redwood to mountain avenue, west of Mcgregor? It looks more working class around those parts. How about Church avenue or Cathedral? Those streets are nice overall. Sure they aren’t South Tuxedo, but they’re still nice parts of the city.
every urban area, and most suburbs/towns have a low-income region that suffers from poverty, systemic racism, addiction, etc. that does not give anyone a right to shit on winnipeg, or any other city. this is someone's community, these are real people's homes.
i have lived here my whole life, I have seen some things that would be imbarrasing for this city, but really can any other city say that they have no problems. winnipeg is a beautifully treed city, with so many nice things to see.
I've lived at 145 Andrew's Street above the store, also near the corner of Andrews and Flora, Burrows avenue, 724 Ross Avenue And 33 Hargrave then I escaped & moved to T.O. .. Can anyone tell me if the grasshoppers and locusts are still rampant there in your backyards ??
its funny. im about to escape Toronto for Winnipeg. one mans garbage is another mans treasure 🤷 wish me luck. um 6 years later how you liking this city?

@@normanthomas9065 Ive had alot of my friends and girlfriends, and a brother and parents leave this horrible city, now Im finally leaving, you made the right choice!
@chadzorz Every neighborhood was old at one point, most of the other ones have simply fixed themselves up, and rebuilt. They, unlike a large part of the NE, care about their homes.
Dink, The Other White Meat I prefer to get along. there are some indigenous that are sober that does get along have a good job education. And there are the sad ones that protest to "demand" things and break the laws and repeat drug and alcohol abuse profanity murdering. Im glad the police arrests the gangs that are happening around recently.
Is this downtown winnipeg? Wheres northend? Are there anymore neighborhoods like this?Can someone point it on the map cause I dont want to buy a house in a neighborhood like Detroit!
Hey Bgarbacz can you tell me the name of that track 'Living in Winnipeg' you used at the beginning of the vid and the name of the band that did it? Much appreciated if you'll let me know.
OMG. this place looks like a dump! No one cares about how their property looks. My parents were born and raised in the North End and actually have good memories of this place. I guess this is why so many Winnipegger's pulled them selves by the boot strings and got out of there.
WELL YOU KNOW ITS GIVING THEM FREE MONEY ALL THERE LIVES,I WAS WORKING UP THERE AND AN INDIAN ACTUALLY SAID TO ME "WHY ARE YOU WORKING WHEN YOU CAN SIT ON YOUR ASS AND GET WELFARE?WTF?ALL I GOT TO SAY IS THEY SHOULD HAND OUT FOOD CARDS TO ALL THE DRUNKS AND DRUGGIES,TESTING SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GET WELFARE,IF POSITIVE FOOD CARD ONLY!IF YOU GET EVERY THING FOR FREE ALL YOUR LIFE WHY WOULD YOU GIVE A DAM ABOUT ANYTHING?
i like the video, the northend was a winnipeg gem, it just had a shadow gov praying on the people. i'm sure i would of fell over dead it i seen the whole truth at once, it's justice for the criminals, everyone else pays.
Looks like southern colorado people call it low income i call it history community times when shops existed before bigtime developers get big headed I LOVE THE BARRIO,HOOD,TRAP Whatever you wanna call it different times can never be explained you just had to be there to know it, good o days,
@mommy0179 i live there for a while and I actaully that place! LOL...And did you notice some of the pictures in this video isnt even in the northend either? Well, enjoy yoru sunday! :P
do you find if someone refers to you as 'native'?? cause I used the word a little while ago and some basically chastised me for it.......just curious......thanks
Yeah...yeah...it's bad. But why don't we clean it up? We should do it. Lots of good people here. We can do it if we come together. Maybe we need something like that. Like a community project. It's going to bring us together.
There are good hard working people in the north end....BUT... we MOVED AWAY from the north end... hookers everywhere, drug dealers, JOHNS, cruising... shootings. crime. its a shame!!! now we live in a quiet country area, deer and birds.... YES. MY DREAM COME TRUE. NEW HOUSE, CAR AND A GOOD JOB.. too bad it has to be that way in the north end
they say vancouvers lower east side is the poorest postal code in Canada...after watching this vid iam wondering if that's true....how much worse can it get. this is what happens when an area is financially neglected for decades and other parts of the city are not. and this is in canada
I grew up the north end, and so did my wife. Great place to grow up in the 60's. Now I feel threatened just driving through it. Sad. Really.

Hey Bgarbacz can you tell me the name of that track 'Living in Winnipeg' you used at the beginning of the vid and the name of the band that did it? Much appreciated if you'll let me know.
LOL 1:23 thats were i get my DRANK ;p
OMG. this place looks like a dump! No one cares about how their property looks. My parents were born and raised in the North End and actually have good memories of this place. I guess this is why so many Winnipegger's pulled them selves by the boot strings and got out of there.
How can you be proud of a neighborhood that everyone litters?
WELL YOU KNOW ITS GIVING THEM FREE MONEY ALL THERE LIVES,I WAS WORKING UP THERE AND AN INDIAN ACTUALLY SAID TO ME "WHY ARE YOU WORKING WHEN YOU CAN SIT ON YOUR ASS AND GET WELFARE?WTF?ALL I GOT TO SAY IS THEY SHOULD HAND OUT FOOD CARDS TO ALL THE DRUNKS AND DRUGGIES,TESTING SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GET WELFARE,IF POSITIVE FOOD CARD ONLY!IF YOU GET EVERY THING FOR FREE ALL YOUR LIFE WHY WOULD YOU GIVE A DAM ABOUT ANYTHING?
The north end declined in the 70s
Funny because I don't use Listerine, don't smoke cigarettes or don't care about government handouts. You're a real genius. Mr.know it all.
i like the video, the northend was a winnipeg gem, it just had a shadow gov praying on the people. i'm sure i would of fell over dead it i seen the whole truth at once, it's justice for the criminals, everyone else pays.
And to think i went from living in a 2 bedroom apartment with my mom in the northend to living in a 6 bedroom house on the south side
Looks like southern colorado people call it low income i call it history community times when shops existed before bigtime developers get big headed I LOVE THE BARRIO,HOOD,TRAP Whatever you wanna call it different times can never be explained you just had to be there to know it, good o days,
Looks better in spring or summer, when all the trees have leaves.
@mommy0179 i live there for a while and I actaully that place! LOL...And did you notice some of the pictures in this video isnt even in the northend either? Well, enjoy yoru sunday! :P
do you find if someone refers to you as 'native'?? cause I used the word a little while ago and some basically chastised me for it.......just curious......thanks
At 0:30 my Grandmother and Grandfather used to live right next to the house on the right.
Yeah...yeah...it's bad. But why don't we clean it up? We should do it. Lots of good people here. We can do it if we come together. Maybe we need something like that. Like a community project. It's going to bring us together.
Enjoy your video
the pictures should have been taken in the summer time. it's the pics that make it look dumpy. my opinion
Kelly Borushynski it is dumpy! I've lived in manitoba for 30 plus years the north end is a uncontrollable dumpster fire
still love winnipeg!!! and would move back if i could get paid what i do in vancouver
I like Winnipeg
What the song at the very start of this video?
looks exactly like north Edmonton
There were at least two photos of houses that I'm quite sure are from around crescentwood towards grant park.
heyy it's my old house 0:48
Moved to Calgary. Its the worst here, Winnipeg getting shit on makes no sense to me.
lived on victor st man what a shit hole glad i left winnipeg ALBERTA ROCKS
Also the natives are a lot more respectful...which is why Alberta rocks.
Home to only about 95 per cent of Winnipeg's crime activity.
sh1TS REAL
these are some of the nicer looking places
There are good hard working people in the north end....BUT... we MOVED AWAY from the north end... hookers everywhere, drug dealers, JOHNS, cruising... shootings. crime. its a shame!!! now we live in a quiet country area, deer and birds.... YES. MY DREAM COME TRUE. NEW HOUSE, CAR AND A GOOD JOB.. too bad it has to be that way in the north end
Every city has an area that you wouldn't even take a shit in, it's such a dump. Every city, that's just how it works. Ugly, but that's life.
they say vancouvers lower east side is the poorest postal code in Canada...after watching this vid iam wondering if that's true....how much worse can it get. this is what happens when an area is financially neglected for decades and other parts of the city are not. and this is in canada
my opinion financially neglected??!! Gtfoh it's the residents. unemployed, welfare warriors that contribute nothing!
Mexciano Music :3 dope shit
I wish someone like dane vogel in saints row 2 would come and do a makeover of the north end, and make it safer, cleaner, and nicer.
I'm thinking about becoming a Police Officer in Winnipeg. I knew Winnipeg has its problems but I had no idea it was this bad!
