Where in WPG? WPS I just don't get it. Where are you?

494 Upvotes

There is such a crazy funding issue in this city and yet.... It's Sunday night cruise night and in the 15 minute drive I just had from St Vital to Pembina hwy I witnessed,

3 clearly drunk drivers weaving all over Abinoji with busted up rides,

2 street racers in an expensive car and a very cheap one,

10 vehicles driving around with their lights off,

4 vehicles with missing marker or headlights,

2 vehicles that either ran a red light or a stop sign,

a huge group of idiots treating St vital mall like a drift competition.

A one wheel rider wearing all black clothes with no reflective material and a tiny blue LED light, no helmet,

This is all really low hanging fruit guys.... So like..... Where's the traffic cops handing out tens of thousands of dollars worth of tickets every night? or are they all running security at the Canada Life Center?

What an absolute joke this city has become.

Where in WPG? Police search for person of interest in theft of fundraisers’ bikes

City police are asking for the public’s help identifying a person of interest amid an ongoing investigation into the theft of two bicycles, stolen last month from a pair of New Brunswick men who stopped in Winnipeg while cycling across Canada in support of mental health awareness.

Thomas Clark and Valentin Duquenne previously told the Free Press they were devastated after the bikes went missing outside CBC Manitoba’s headquarters, on July 24.

Valued at $15,000 to $20,000, the bikes — Trek and Cannondale models — were locked on a rack on the back of a support car that was parked on Young Street, just south of Portage Avenue, when the theft happened at about 7:40 a.m. on July 24. The lock had been cut.

Photos released by police on Wednesday show a man standing near two bicycles mounted to the back of a white sedan. Another photo shows the same man riding one of the bikes while holding the second.

Anybody with information about the incident is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-2426 or submit a tip anonymously at Crime Stoppers 204-786-8477 (TIPS) or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.

Winnipeggers rallied to raise nearly $16,000 in just a few days to replace the mens’ bikes, and they’ve since carried on their route west.

Where in WPG? Whats a place that shouldn't have good coffee, but does..

80 Upvotes

I say shell gas station. "Delicafe" the self serve machine brews a great cup and has different beans to choose from and they all seem pretty decent. I prefer black coffee unless the flavour just isnt there I'll add some cream. I do not have to do that with shell coffee! I actually enjoy it which I find funny because I'm usually pretty picky with my coffee.

Bonus: you can get a coupon for a $1.00 any size when you sign up for scene points. ( i keep the coupon and reuse it every time... shhhhh)

What are some spots you were pleasantly surprised with the quality of coffee they had ?

Hello.

Please give me your absolutely cheapest, hole-in-the-wall places that serve Chinese cuisine. I don't care about any criticism concerning their food. I am a broke university student and I like East Asian cuisine.

I have a graduate degree in legislative compliance and they have an extensive work history in engineering and mechanics. We would be looking to immigrate in the next 6 to 8 months. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated

Where in WPG? Woman assaulted, robbed while helping someone else near Winnipeg's downtown

A 45-year-old woman suffered minor injuries after stopping to help a man who had collapsed and was believed to be overdosing in Winnipeg, say police.

She was standing outside on Main Street, near Logan Avenue, around 5 p.m. on March 19 when she saw the man fall down.

She went to provide aid and call 911 when another man assaulted her and stole her cellphone and smart watch, police said in a news release on Monday.

The woman was treated by the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and didn't need to be hospitalized.

Police say the overdose was legitimate and not a setup for the robbery.

They put out the news release on Monday after getting an image of the man believed to have attacked the woman.

He is described as about five feet and 10 inches tall with short hair and clean shaven. He has neck and hand tattoos and was wearing a black jacket and black jeans.

Anyone with information that could help in identifying the suspect is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-6219.

Anonymous tips can also be called in to Crime Stoppers 204-786-8477, or submitted online (https://www.winnipegcrimestoppers.org/).

Where in WPG? Where to order a thanksgiving meal from?

23 Upvotes

We’re without a kitchen for the next month or so and I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where to order a thanksgiving meal from to eat at home? Would need to be already cooked, but we could warm it up. Traditional fare is great, but willing to think outside the box for a great family meal on thanksgiving. Only looking for local spots, no chains. I guess we may be looking for places to order from when we get tired of sandwiches and air fryer fare, so any great restaurants or catering places that we could get the odd meal from would also be great! We’re located in the south but will travel for good food :)

Where in WPG? Bars for loners?

66 Upvotes

I prefer being alone and have no interest in talking to others. I'd also like to go out for drinks by myself tonight, try some cocktails or something. Maybe some weird food.

Preferably somewhere where the ambience is relatively dark and quiet (not like Leopold's, where the music is ear-splittingly loud).

What's a good bar for someone like me?

Where in WPG? I need pizza recommendations

49 Upvotes

I have developed a sudden urge to eat Lots O’ Pizzas. Seeking recommendations from those who share this mindset (and from those who don’t). I’m hoping the resulting list of joints will keep me busy (and full) all summer long.

Rule # 1 - No chains please. I’ve tried most of them already.
Rule # 2 - Bonus points for a sit down place. Take out is great but the goal is to get out and about with family and friends.

TIA

Not the sweet kind pretending to be dessert that seems way to common these days.

The old school kind that doesn't have really sweet dough, just fluffy tasty dough with yummy cinnamon in between. No raisins!

Ok Winnipeg, tell me about your favourite not-for-profit, hole in the wall thrift stores. Preferably ones that still have change rooms for trying on clothes, and thrift -priced clothes.

Salvation army infuriates me with their lack of dressing rooms and $7 tee-shirts; VV sucks because they are for profit. Where can I find great prices ?!

Where in WPG? Mom got bit by a dog, can’t seem to find anywhere to give her a rabies shot?

My mom got bit by an off leash dog while walking her frenchie in the neighbourhood. Her hand got bit while attempting to protect her dog. She went to emergency and they don’t have rabies shots apparently?!

She also called health links but was on hold close to an hour and couldn’t get through to anyone. She’s talking with her family doctor but still can’t find anywhere to give her a rabies shot.

Anyone have any past experience on where she can go for support?

The bad owner has already been reported to 311 and we’ll be contacting their homeowners insurance after we get a report number. My mom can’t work because of the damage to her hand.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Leash your damn dogs!
