The great Winnipeg forum census. Where are you from?
 

Well folks, it's about that time again..

State where you're from in Canada's great 'Brooklyn of the North'.

My own theory is that a disproportionate number of us call the fabulous Kildonans home.

Myself, I grew up in NK but hang my hat in Wolseley these days..

Shit, forgot the West End..

Maybe one day hipsters will make it part of Wolseley.

what?


No Elmwood-EK?:(

You're part of the fabulous Kildonans, (East, West, North).

Vote NK, sorry about the offense...but SSP wanted me to prematurely guestimate at the number of neighbourhoods I needed.

At least have an "other" category if you're going to leave huge swathes of the city our :haha:

West End. I selected St. James because it's the fucking closest.

Worst 'cenus' ever. I live in Lord Roberts. Nothing above would fit in to that. What about Osborne village? Fort Richmond? Atleast us the election ridings.

Yep, not enough choices on the poll.

EDIT: I'm in Glenelm.

I gave it five years. It's not going to change. I moved back to Wolseley this summer.

Wolseley since 2005.

Osborne Village from 2002 to 2005.

I grew up in Charleswood.

NK - off Gilmore - with parents
NK - Dunrobin - with wife
NK - Algonqiun Estates - with wife & kids

If your location field is accurate, we live on the same street.

According to election wards, Wolseley is part of Daniel McIntyre. So the relationship is the other way around. :D

Linden Woods :D

Bite your tongue!

That would make three of us forumers living on Lipton... crazy.

What? No Garden City, or the very least, West Kildonan?

:whatthefuck:

Grew up in Riverbend (West Kildonan it tends to be grouped with), but since February I live on Waterfront.

How it it? Where do you usually buy your groceries?

Who's #3?

more characters...

I am in Frasers Grove.

I'll let him "out" himself. Although he doesn't post on here all that much.

I Was in Glenelm for most of my life (I guess I'd fit somewhere between Elmwood and the Kildonans.)

For the past while now, I've called downtown my 'hood.

I put St. Vital although technically I live in Toronto.

Chilliwack B.C. - Kelowna B.C. - Calgary - Wpg. Garden city- North end. North Vancouver - Kelowna - Wpg. North end. Downtown, St James. Maple Ridge B.C. - Wpg. North end,St James, Norwood Flats.

As a West Kildonaner, I find the omission insulting and refuse to take part.

Same here...

What street in Riverbend?

I grew up on Vince Leah, and went to Riverbend School when it first opened 15 years ago.

Also, I didn't vote on ANY of the options, and I refuse to vote for the North End, because frankly, some people think that anything north of Inkster IS part of the North End.

:hell:

River Heights

anything west of main south of inkster east of arlington is the north end no?

I'd say east of McPhillips...

You forgot Thunder Bay! :notacrook:

What? No Elmwood!!
 

LOL...grew up in Elmwood - not EK, not NK...always was Elmwood!!!

Live in Calgary......

Returning to the Exchange District next fall......

raised in NK like all great winnipeggers....moved to river heights like all great winnipeggers....threw my NK passport in the river as i went over the disraeli for the last time a number of years ago....today they wont let me north of the dairy queen on henderson.

There should be some sort of trophy for this..

I spend many sleepless nights on Ruby Street.

Ohh yaaa of course, how did you guys ever escape Unicity in '72?

You'd definitely be our furthest suburb. :D

Although parts of this fine burg certainly resemble Thunder Bay.

I was born in Winnipeg and lived in the St. Norbert area for quite some time, until I moved away, out of the city. Now I have moved back, and live 10 minutes from the U of M. So Fort Garry it is for me!

u guys go to the curtis on poker nights?

That would make five forumers on two adjacent streets. It's a small city.

i know of 2 votes that are missing off that 1 for point douglas and one for the north end

I live on Spence. Let's call that downtown.

E.K. represent. The future north end of Winnipeg. (Chose North Kildonan since it was the closest on the list).

I'd take part in the poll, but my neighbourhood (Luxton) is not represented...unless it's to be included in "the bowels of the North End."

I'm in Riverview.

I like Luxton.

Does anyone know where I can find a detailed neighbourhood boundary map for Winnipeg? I found a decent one, but it doesn't have street names....

:previous:

For such a map containing street names, you could try logging into the city's Crime Stat interactive map (iMap). Once in, near the top you will find a button to Filter By > Area. Click the "Area" button, then you will see options to refine your filter by either Neighbourhood, Electoral Ward or Police District. Click "Neighbourhood." In the listing that will then open, you will see that the neighbourhoods are quite specific, for instance Luxton is in the list.

Once you click a neighbourhood to highlight it, then click OK to apply the neighbourhood filter. It will then take you back to the street map and it will zoom you into the specific neighbourhood you selected where you can see the boundary's boarder drawn onto the street map. The map isn't the greatest image quality, but it does have street names on it which you can read better if you zoom in a bit. You can also freely move around on the city-wide map without filters, and at enough of a zoom you can see neighbourhoods listed with a thin red border for a boundary line. Also on your map, if you wish to turn off or select only certain crime icons, you can do that through Filter By > Crime Types.

Hope this helps.

The Sherlock maps are really good for that...
Or click on the various communities on on this census page for neighbourhood boundaries (major streets are on it):http://winnipeg.ca/census/2006/

It did--thanks.
