This isn't winnipeg, where it is I'm not quite sure.. Those buildings in the background look more like renders added to the photo and the street car cables? no longer exist in the Peg.

But it does scream density...

It's Toronto, that's the Gooderham Building (Toronto Flatiron) on the right. I was making a joke.

• Video Link

With regards to Terry Jacks, check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ImVdto5H8o about Susan Jacks. While your listening to the song and watching the video, check out the guy playing guitar in the background and read the comments below to find out the connection. The melody in both songs is very similar.

Where are you Billy? Does anyone know?

thx ajs, I tried at least 4 variations of coding sometime ago using the allowable codes here on SSP. No go. They must have it locked to specifics, which is understandable, they don't want posters putting up an entire web page per post. But allowing re-size using the px or width/height tags is not a big thing imo.

it does eat up web server resources so i could see why they don't allow it

Sheegl walks away from CAO job
Katz thanks city's top beaurocrat for "years of service"
By: Bartley Kives
Posted: 11:01 AM | Comments: 6 | Last Modified: 11:12 AM | Updates

Phil Sheegl, Winnipeg's chief administrative officer, has resigned from the City of Winnipeg - only days before the release of a review into the fire-paramedic station replacement program.
"This morning, Executive Policy Committee accepted the resignation of Phil Sheegl," Mayor Sam Katz said in a statement. "I would like to thank him for his years of service to the municipality, and wish him well in his future endeavors."
Sheegl has been CAO since 2011. A close friend of Mayor Sam Katz, he started with the city in 2008 as director of planning, property and development.
Katz will meet with reporters at 11:15 a.m. to discuss the resignation of the city's top beaurocrat.

And it begins.

@bkives: Katz denied Sheegl was a political liability; Mayor said he would win re-election with our without Sheegl as CAO. 11:58 am on Oct 17

@bkives: Mayor Sam Katz says he doesn't know why Sheegl resigned and doesn't believe it pertains to audit coming out on Monday. 11:56 am on Oct 17

So Katz thinks he can still win an election, with or without Sheegl. Having Sheegl isn't your problem, Sam. It's your slimey nature that's the problem. Quite arrogant if you ask me.

We could do it. Set up a pay-pal account to jump start your campaign?

I don't want to put you on the spot but any campaign promises you'd like to see and "Implement" for the River City?
