http://winnipegdreams.blogspot.com/2007/01/day-they-closed-portage-and-main.html

From that day on pedestrians have been barred from crossing at the famous corner of Portage and Main.

WELCOME TO WINNIPEG DREAMS. Sunday, February 4, 2007. PORTAGE AND MAIN CLOSURE. PORTAGE AND MAIN CLOSURE. The following are excerpts from the documentary Dreams of Castles in the Sky:.

For decades, downtown Winnipeg has been a constantly evolving place for the immigrant whether from Europe, Asia, Africa or aboriginal reserves. So here we are again. Planning for people who have since fled the downtown, while ignoring its re...
