I just can't afford a $15 movie ticket per person when there's 2 of us going, even the tickets are not worth that when I can wait and buy the movie for $25 to own it for life lol The cinema itself is nice: clean, organised, nice staff (some even from Towne Cinema 8 that i know), some staff comes off as rude when asking a simple question, though. I do love the seats but still not worth that high price tag. I hate how when you can't make it to a movie whether it be an emergency or the weather because you don't drive and can't go out in the freezing cold to catch 2 busses in the middle of winter they tell you you have to go down there?? make it make sense. I do like the perks of ordering on the Atom app because you don't encounter this problem but then you don't get discounts for their Wednesday deal: 2 movie tickets, popcorn and 2 drinks so that's a downside but at least you can cancel your tickets yourself and either refund them to your atom account or back to your original payment method. I do prefer Cineplex over Landmark Cinemas ever since they closed down Towne Cinema 8, I go to Cineplex Northgate when they play English movies for $4 just like how Towne Cinema 8 was (actually it was $5.19 at Towne Cinema 8) but still better than the hefty prices of these large screen cinemas. The popcorn is decent, better than Cineplex's but still way too salty just like Cineplex.

The refills are only for card carrying members of there movie reward system. The extra butter popcorn that my friend and I shared was delicious.

If you're a Canadian history buff, Louis Riel House is a must-see. Riel lived here for a bit,…read morebefore he went off and started his 2nd uprising (Northwest Rebellion). He did return here in a casket after his hanging. Parking is available in a small lot by the house, but this is fenced off in the winter. Not that it matters since the snow is waist-deep. If you got here in the winter, there is also street parking. As the museum itself is only open in the summer, I will say that the outside is very pretty indeed. The really strange thing about this landmark is that it's smack in the middle of modern suburbia. People live across the street, as well as next to this building. If Riel were alive today, he'd probably be shooting hoops with the neighbours and checking out their pickup trucks, and probably trying to figure out where to get some good bubble tea. Okay I digress. Come by and explore some Canadian history.

Impressive Cathedral with Beautifully Detailed Architecture!…read more I visited the Saint Boniface Cathedral on the afternoon of January 23rd with my mother. The cathedral is huge and very impressive and I loved the beautifully detailed and intricate architecture from the arched doorways, to the columns, to the decorations at the peak of the church. The circular window was also beautiful. The cathedral was mostly destroyed in a fire in 1968 and all that remains is the outer walls/structure. When we walked through the former arched doorways, we discovered that a new and modern church had been built inside the walls, behind the façade of the older cathedral, which was unique and interesting. There was a large cemetery in front of the cathedral that had quite a few very old tombstones dating back to the 1800's which were scattered throughout the large property. These were interesting to read and look at. I really enjoyed admiring the cathedral and taking some great photographs! There was nobody around and the atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxed. We crossed the street to other side of Tache Avenue and walked down a set of steps to a platform/dock at the edge of the Red River. The views of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights and the Espalande Riel Bridge from here were so beautiful and perfect, against the snowy backdrop! It was another great place for taking some stunning photos. This cathedral is definitely worth visiting and I enjoyed exploring this area with my mom! I look forward to visiting again during the summer to explore more of the cathedral grounds and cemetery.

I remember returning to Winnipeg in the winter of 2006 and admiring how beautiful the Provencher Bridge looked. Naturally, it was so cold that I didn't see anyone walking on it that day. This bridge used to have a restaurant, Salisbury House, at the top. I liked the idea of having a landmark with a Winnipeg institution at the top. It sadly closed down in 2013. A lack of parking at the top of this bridge was one reason why it didn't survive. At night, the bridge looks beautiful with lighting that accents its cool design. it's also pretty to look at when there's snow, too. On my recent trip to Winnipeg, I never got to walk it. I ended up admiring folks walking it as I drove over the Provencher Bridge. I stayed in Saint Boniface, so it was nice taking the bridge and seeing folks taking photos of the city. This pedestrian bridge was named after Louis Riel, who was the leader of the Métis people. It makes sense, as Winnipeg has a large Indigenous population. I hope that when I'm back in the city, I can walk across Esplanade Riel. I'd love to see the city from a different standpoint and take a bunch of photos. (331)

The bridge is only one of a few in the world in that it has a restaurant (Salisbury House) on it, giving patrons an excellent view of the river and the bridge's structure. The Esplanade Riel has become a landmark and is used in many promotional materials. The bridge itself is a side-spar cable-stayed bridge. And it's a pretty cool walk this way over to St. Boniface. I love interesting architecture and this bridge really highlights Winnipeg and the Red River.

I spent five of my seven years in Winnipeg working downtown. My first job was at the Trizac…read moreBuilding (now 360 Main), at the corner of Portage and Main. This intersection is unique in that it's closed to pedestrians. To get to the other side requires taking underground paths. It's also the financial district with every bank imaginable at work around this intersection. This intersection was also where Winnipeg Jets fans rallied to try and save its team from flocking over to Phoenix in 1995. It's also the same place where fans celebrate when Jets 2.0 made it into the playoffs. I'd say that downtown Winnipeg comprises these areas: - Exchange District - Central Park - The Forks - Chinatown - Broadway-Assiniboine - South Portage Winnipeg was touted to be Chicago North. You see some similarities when you visit the Exchange District. It's a block north of Portage and Main, and houses over 150 heritage buildings. This area consists of a collection of 20th century warehouses, financial institutions, and early skyscrapers primarily made of terracotta. You can find the Manitoba Museum with the Planetarium and do all things touristy. Central Park houses the largest urban park in the city and features the Waddell fountain. It is the most densely populated area in the city. The area is bound by Notre Dame Avenue to the north, Ellice Avenue to the south, Donald Street to the east, and Balmoral Street to the west. It likely the most multicultural area, with Filipino, African, and Aboriginal folks comprising this community. The Forks is where the Assiniboine and Red rivers meet. It's technically the Mississippi River stateside that ultimately makes its way into Manitoba. The Forks is considered a meeting place. The Forks Market is fun to check out artisans and their work, along with fresh produce and good eats. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is worth visiting. I did in 2016, two years after it officially opened. The exhibits are eye-opening. It also has a decent observation deck where you can take terrific photos of the city. Chinatown is tiny. It's maybe four blocks long and was first established in 1909. You blink and you're done seeing everything. Fort Richmond has a growing Chinese community with lots of eateries and Chinese grocery stories. Broadway-Assiniboine is also a fairly populated area. It makes up the south downtown area on the north bank of the Assiniboine River. It features a number of landmarks, such as Upper Fort Garry, Hotel Fort Garry, and the Manitoba Legislative Building. You can also do the Assiniboine Riverwalk when it's warmer and check out the restaurants. South Portage consists of a group of city blocks located between Portage Avenue, Main Street, Broadway, and Memorial Boulevard. It's basically where I spent a lot of time being employed and taking in Manitoba Moose games. This area features these notable places: - Millennium Library, which is the main branch of the Winnipeg Public Library - Winnipeg Convention Centre - Canada Life Centre (formerly MTS Place), which is the home of the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose - Law courts - Cityplace mall (formerly Eaton Place) - Portage Place - 360 Main and Winnipeg Square - Graham Avenue Transit Mall, which is Winnipeg's public transit hub that are all buses I found that walking along Portage Avenue (it makes up the Trans-Canada Highway) in downtown Winnipeg recently to be a bit sad. Portage Place has many stores that have closed permanently. It's not the once exciting mall that I once loved to visit on a lunch break or after work. The Salisbury House eatery that used to be open around the clock across from this mall has closed. Major department stores, such as Eaton's and the flagship Hudson's Bay, have shuttered. It's a reflection of how the city has changed and what a pandemic has done to this downtown core. On the upside, I do see signs of vitalization, such as more restaurants around Canada Life Centre. I also saw more art, such as a two-headed coin called Mediating the Treaties that commemorates Treaty One between Queen Victoria and seven Chiefs of Manitoba. It was nice reliving memories of downtown Winnipeg when I was recently in the city for a brief time. I am hopeful that improvements will continue, including the restoration work at the Manitoba Legislature Building and a lot more. (103)
