I am really surprised that this area hasn't developed into a high density neighbourhood since the 90's.

Osborne street is a HOT spot in the city. People I speak with that aren't from Winnipeg (but visited) like Osborne. The nightlife in Winnipeg is on Osborne and Corydon; the suburbanites flock there on the weekends so it's kind of surprising that Winnipeg hasn't decided to do any development in those areas.

They could be legitimate tourist attractions... Right now they're just nice areas to visit.
