  1. A great collection Bob! I loved seeing the garage that was later DeGagné Motors on Marion St. Now it’s gone to make way for an apartment building.

  2. Rob – I recognize many of those landmarks. Loved the display windows too. Major memories of my 5 years in Winnipeg and the four years living downtown. Thanks loads. Ron
