Wow! The downtown theater! The only movie house I could get in x rated movies when I was 13. The editing and music, pretty cool. Love all references to my favorite beverage. One thing I haven't forever seen is the spinning beer bottle on Main Street. Did I dream it?
there used to be a lot of advertisements on Main Street and Portage Avenue as they were the main districts of Winnipeg the beer bottle did exist there was also a big clock and several other fantastic Billboards that were all hand painted onto the brick walls
20:40 Birt's Saddlery Under the store is the dungeons where they tortured Louis Riel. The basement is FULL of cells with chains and rings built into the walls. I worked at Birt's in the 80's when his daughter ran the business.
I wish I could go back in time to see these places first hand. Winnipeg's always been a tough town. Not so much now, at least the people are still real.
I would love to travel back in time into the 1890s of Winnipeg I think it would be an amazing place however I heard it was very muddy made a video about that and a whole bunch of others thanks for your comment
@@bearlamb5026You would just have to hide the camera you using so you don't look like your from the future. I guess you'd have to learn the slang of the times too.

That music sure was annoying/ irritating!
You mean mayor Suzi? I just looked up the dungeons of Clement's building and Birt's.
Good Job!

Ah, Woolco--worked there at 14. Still have a scar on my eyebrow from when I accidentally walked into the metal door frame :)
At least we had a good selection of beer back then!
