^^^^ My goodness, its snowing already . Here, we need to wait another month before any chance of accumulating snowfall. First snow is usually around thanksgiving
On Thursday our indigenous peoples starting protesting and closed major sections our two main streets from 4-30 to 7 right at rushhour which caused many headaches.
Try walking downtown if you are not native and you will hear the "hey white man" used oh so many times.
GREAT CITY.
How frequent is crime in that area? Crime happens everywhere.
In any case, Winnipeg isn't really on my list of places to visit. I've been to BC, but I'd also like to visit Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, St. John's, etc.
Those houses are alright, but not what I would pick. I wouldn't mind living there though if I had to, but I've been told Winnipeg is boring, and a bit too cold in the winter. If I moved to Canada, for non-climatic purposes, I'd pick Toronto or Montreal.
They are MUCH worse than the Winnipeg houses you posted. They are so tacky and trying desperately to be something they are not. Plus, there is a severe shortage of pavements.
Exactly! I so dislike that typical American sprawl represented so well in overdeveloped states like Florida. Winnipeg street looks nice and leafy to me. Each house a little different. The FL homes are cookie cutter sprawl suburbia, typical of Florida. They destroy what was otherwise pristine undeveloped land to create not a neighborhood, just little McMansions with no community feel (notice the lack of any connecting sidewalks. No one there probably walks anywhere. Yuk, and no thanks.
I so much prefer the streetscapes of my own city. We have different neighborhoods each with a slightly different look.
Personally, I think folks from the UK and Europe would prefer the city and streetscapes of Philly vs god awful sprawl burbs in Florida.
This is just a tiny sampling. There are many more neighborhoods in this city. America didn't used to do sprawl. I hope it is ended once and for all.
Nice and green in Atlanta. Homes look nicer than those FL homes. One side of the street has sidewalks at least.
Our older suburbs here are green also. These suburbs also have train lines that run into the city. So their train station is at the center of the town.
Wow, talk about dense development with those high rises. Looks very bright though almost like FL with all those white exteriors. We are very red brick here in Philly.
It would definitely be more familiar, and I would certainly prefer it. Those suburbs are very attractive - it's nice to see some brick in use too.
Somehow this country has to get back to building neighborhoods like they did here on the east coast. Sprawl gets us nowhere but sitting in your own backyard and in your car. That little burb of Narberth I posted has a little shopping area on a couple streets right adjacent to the train station. When I was there the shopping district had people milling all about. And a pub too! Imagine that in that soulless FL burb that was posted.
Eastern PA definitely has a different style than New England: more brick in residential (New England uses brick mostly for non-residential), rowhouses, and often narrower streets. Probably the most British looking part of North America, even though New England often gets that. Too bad a lot of older PA is decayed.
