		<description><![CDATA[I have been to Central Park a few times in the past 5 years, including one or two Critical Mass bicycle rides.
It has the potential to be such a beautiful urban park, and decades ago the writers of the Downtown Winnipeg Plan (1969) said that its boundaries should be expanded and the park itself be [...]]]></description>

And why not? Urban agriculture is on the rise, with more civilized Midwestern cities such as Minneapolis and Chicago permitting an unlimited number of hens so long [...]]]></description>

Comparisons to residential schools are out of line&#8230; 

&#8230;this is more like a maximum security prison.
If architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was right when he said &#8220;God is in the details,&#8221; then the conceptual drawing for Youth For Christ&#8217;s recreation centre renders a Godless box.
This is architecture formless and [...]]]></description>

The dreaded surface lots in the background are about 70% full, so most of these were shot during weekday business hours.
The problem here is that all parking downtown is 2h restricted, forcing you into a private lot if you want to drive to work, and guaranteeing fines for overnight guests of [...]]]></description>

Headed south down Waterfront Drive on an unseasonably warm November afternoon, the row of new condo buildings lining the winding roadway met my eye.
Architecturally, none of these buildings are notable for anything but average attempts at cartoonish &#8220;heritage&#8221; design, but taken together, perhaps with eyes squinted a little bit, they gave [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s easy to get excited about the plans Red River College has for the Union Bank tower on Main Street. Built in 1904, it is a true example the early skyscrapers, not only by virtue of its height, but by its adaptation of classical orders to a tall building. Reaching 11 [...]]]></description>

Of the transformations that changed the face and fabric of Winnipeg’s old neighbourhoods in the past 60 years, none have been as sudden, total and tragic as the development of the Lord Selkirk Park neighbourhood in the 1960s.

Centred around Lord Selkirk Park, a small park on Stella Avenue just west of Main [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Transit Riders&#8217; Union of Winnipeg:
I totally agree with you and believe that the downtown part of the rapid transit  should be built underground from the start and no other system considered for  the central area.  Other parts of the system could be built underground as finances permit.
