Winnipeg Construction VIII

[drew]

^ how could we have had both? the footprint of the park means the tower would have needed to fit on a tiny sliver of land along Fort Street. It would never have happened IMO.

Either way, we still have both. Just slightly further away.

Also, the picture of Paris is nice, but what is/was/maybe proposed for Winnipeg with the tower would have looked nothing like that, ever. More like an old gate, a plaque, a couple benches and some giant fat-bottomed pre-cast monolith casting a giant middle finger down on Main street for the next 100 years.

EDIT: actually, with Fort Garry Place, we basically already have that. But at least the park will be larger.
