Outstanding video man.. well done.
Great memories! Thanks!
1:31 - I was Baptized at that church in the background. I know across the street from this photo is Billy Mosienko Lanes.
Awesome!!!
What street is 1:03? Inkster? Burrows?
1:08 I lived on Forrest Avenue and remember when Dominion was IGA. I used to have to walk up these dark stairs in the back to use the washroom.
How was it back then lmao...
Was north end always like that?😂
1:08I live near there but now is IGA
My Dad grew up in the North End , and used to get into trouble now and then !

NICE
What school was the last one? Machray?
The last school was William Whyte elementary school on Powers St. and Magnus Ave. Torn down in 1977 and the the new one built at that location.
Nope. I went to Machray. Don't know this one, but it's not Machray.
I believe that last school was William White is a kid I used to climb over the big rod iron fence you see in the arch in front of the school
That cycle place on Selkirk used to be Holy Spirit Credit Union, I think it was part of Holy Ghost School...
Help! I need pics of Sherbrooke & Elgin, Before WESTONS was torn down & before the parking lot; 1960 - 1970 would be perfect.
Tommy Lee Jones hanging in Northend Pool hall?
Looks identical to parts of Edmontons central north side.
Классный видос!!!!

Awesome photos but the Mozart soundtrack somehow didn't fit here. Too classy for Winnipeg.
I grew up on William Avenue during WWII, then moved to Perth in the North End. I like the music used.
I like the pictures but there no need for the music
There is a volume button for a reason...
