[Only The Lonely..]

Is it just my imagination or do we debate the demise of the Eatons building in regular 12 month cycles on here?

Anyways, I loved the hulking mass of a Chicago building that was our old Eatons store.

I vividly remember catching the bus outside of there in the middle of a classic Winnipeg winter, with that newsy standing on the corner of Donald and Portage slinging copies of the Free Press with a smoke in his mouth.

That experience for me at least, always gave me a big city feel in ways that the MTS Centre will never be able to imitate.

It's a shame they couldn't build the arena on one of the surface lots outside of the convention centre.

If we were going to build an arena on a small downtown lot, I think it would have been a lot more productive to team up with the Convention Centre so that we could expand our capacity to handle important trade shows and conferences.
