Wow, no wonder you guys have so many fucking mosquitoes.

No one even has a dock! What is the point of living on water if you don't have a dock?

I knew mentioning a house in Island Lakes will cause an uproar. 2 of my brothers live there and house prices in older area (built late 80's) for for $225-$300, newer area built 2000-present go for $275-$500.

Anyway, scratch my Island Lakes example. Someone can buy a beautiful older home in Norwood Flats, (15 min walk to Forks, 20 minute walk to downtown) for anywhere from $195k, to over $300k (that would be biggie or a very fixed up one).

No uproar from me. I have friends who live in Island Lakes in a very nice house.

They would probibly make a very nice profit, if they sold.

Come on now, it's the ultimate in Suburban living to have your property back onto a storm water retention pond!

wags_in_the_peg · #**807** Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 3:30 PM**

my parents back onto one of these storm retention ponds in Soudale and they love it. beautiful sunrises (nobody across pond from them). and there doesn't seem to be more mosquitos there than anywhere else. city has minnows eating the larvae and they are always spraying or putting stuff in there. it's the ditches that are more of a concern out there! and what about the old cars people have sitting in there yards. that drives me crazy.

What's the point in having a dock if you can't use the backyard due to goose poop?

Here's a great article in today's Toronto Star.

That's the image that Winnipeg has to build on. Quirky destination for upscale and cultural-industry people looking for unusual destinations with an air of authenticity, even if they're rough around the edges.

Believe me, the poop from 1 raw fed dog is far, far less than that of a few dozen geese.

1ajs · #**817** Posted **Mar 4, 2009, 6:48 PM**
