Winnipeg: Arson Capital of Canada.





I've been holding onto these old postcards of prominent, Winnipeg government buildings for a few years. When I bought them at the Winnipeg bus depot for 10 cents a piece (3 for 25) I was told that they were 'collectors items'. The woman was hesitant to sell them to me fearing that I may not appreciate their value. Who wouldn't appreciate seeing the original MTS building (now the Clarion Hotel), The Manitoba Medical Building (vacant for many years) or the Manitoba Hydro Building circa 1964. Unfortunately, like many Winnipeggers I like to burn things.
