Prairies Bad Rap!

Re: RE: Prairies Bad Rap!
Everything you wrote in your post sums up the reasons why I'd love to live on the prairies... well, except maybe for the sleazy bars part!
For awhile it looked as though a move to Portage La Prairie was imminent, but the one particular thing fell through. Winnipeg strikes me as the perfect big little city (or little big city)... by which I mean a city big enough to have everything you need - along with far more culture than even some of the bigger cities - without that certain insanity that most cities get when they reach a certain size.
Another city that strikes me as similar in that particular regard - and also a highly desirable possibility for relocation, especially since we have a full keel sailboat - is Victoria.
The prairies have great allure for me because I love wide open spaces, great big storms, low-key non-trendy people... but of course on the other hand, the coast draws me back because I love the saltchuck, the green, the rain.
At this point, I only know one thing for sure, we are NOT going to remain in Kelowna.

That's amazing... but the average is being driven up in part by the sizzling hot supersized mansion market, isn't it? The median price is lower, I suspect.
That true haggis, but even the basic plain jane house goes for 350,000. The further north you go the prices go down. You could always live on your sailboat :twisted: a real hardship it would be to ....I am just jealous :twisted:

I would dearly love to live on our sailboat, but since it is only 20 ft, it might be a bit cramped!

Winnipeg seems nice; I was only there for a few days in April so the weather wasn't the greatest. I've heard summer in the Peg is wonderful. I'd consider moving there, if the Jets came back that would solidify any decision.

I moved from Sudbury to Saskatoon over six years ago and it was the best move I ever made.
Everyone back "home" had it all wrong about life out here. I'm glad I didn't listen to them.

8O 8O 8O That is where I was born!!! St. joseph's hospital in sudbury ontario. Small world A even stranger story..and honest its true 8O
I was buying something once, and I wrote a cheque, for some reason when I gave her my ID, my birth certificate was in there. Now listen to this 8O 8O 8O Turns out the clerk was born in the same hospital in the same month in the same year two days later. Now what are the odds of that!!!!! Why can't I get those odds on a lottery ticket

Re: RE: Prairies Bad Rap!
Actually, I dunno, now that you mention it. Strip clubs aren't among the things I want, so I don't pay much attention to their legal status. I know they used to exist here, then they didn't, then there was a lot of foolishness about zoning bylaws and assorted nonsense and they existed again, at least for a while, and one of our less rational city councillors made a lot of noise about it (in favour, I think), but I stopped following the story a few years ago, since I had no desire to visit one anyway.
Just what I need, more unused erections..

It wasn't Tommy Crosby was it? Is he still one your of councillors? I haven't seen him for years, but when I heard that he'd been elected I kind of went, " 8O . Tommy? I used to drink beer with him."
