#203811 - 03/13/06 11:30 AM Moving to Winnipeg
slow_dx slow_dx Post Master Registered: 06/04/02 Posts: 2924 Loc: Winnipeg, MB	Chances are I'm moving to Winnipeg in September for some schoolin' at the University of Manitoba. Any idea on what I should expect? Good neighbourhoods to live in? I'll probably be making a trip down in July to try to find a place to stay. _________________________ "Hugh, what I think would scare the shit out of these al Qaeda guys more than any cruise missile... would be the sight of U.S. commandos, Ninja guys in black suits, jumping out of helicopters into their camps, spraying machine guns.

If you like cars, every Sunday night (during the summer) there is a huge cruise down our longest stretch of road downtown (Portage Avenue). Weather here is fucking cold during the winter (-40 to -50 with windchiil) and pretty hot during the summer (+30, more with humidex). Areas to avoid: North End, Main Street, Higgins, Nice places: Eastern part of the city, as well as the Southern part of the city (I've lived on both sides). You'll notice cost of living here is much cheaper than Ontario as well. Thats about all I can say.. any questions just PM me. _________________________ Mama, I'll see you again tonight in my head movies. But this head movie makes my eyes rain!

They don't have a law school. Sounds like a nice place though. _________________________ "Hugh, what I think would scare the shit out of these al Qaeda guys more than any cruise missile... would be the sight of U.S. commandos, Ninja guys in black suits, jumping out of helicopters into their camps, spraying machine guns.

Nobis Nobis Post Master Registered: 12/08/03 Posts: 2653 Loc: MB,Canada	Areas to avoid: All of the north end, every bit of it its all bad. Same with west end downtown, actually all of downtown is bad. The east end of the city is good ? wtf are you smoking TRASHcona is a terrible terrible place. Parts of the south end are bad too. Nice places: West part of the city is nice. I mean far west though Past St james. Into The Crestveiw Area. but that pretty far from U of M. The southwest part of the city is the nicest, and relativly close to UofM. The are around the university is nice. Winnpeg isnt really that bad of a city. Alot to do if you have money to play. I find the people are pretty nice here too.

super_nguyen super_nguyen Post Master Registered: 10/02/05 Posts: 2443 Loc: winnipeg manitoba canada	the tyndall park area isn't too bad, but the cleanest area are definitely the south end lindenwoods/whiteridge. portage isn't horrible, as long as your not walking alone at night on it, just take a drive around there's lots of places to go, just avoid the places you aren't comfortable in. its a good city imo, doesn't get too crazy here. _________________________

Warmer, less crowded, and closer to your home. looking into it now.. hmmmm cant seeem to find the requirements Hi there, I have lived in Tbay my entire life and graduated from LU two years ago. Yes it is a nice little town, and LU is a great school. I am also attending Law School at U of M in this fall, and have been scoping out a few apartments via the internet on Pembina Hwy, and few others about 1 km from the University. Is this area generally ok? Thanks Edited by TBayGuy (04/28/06 08:28 PM)
