Dude, this was a blast from the past. Thanks!
I love our Winnipeg!
I'm old enough to remember when Selkirk Ave was still a decent working class shopping area. It was ok up until the mid 80s.
me too
then from sketchy to scary really fast and never recovered
My dad says in the 40s it was high end.
Great album good job⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️more please thnx..
When i was in high school in Selkirk , i would catch a bus up North Main and take in all the action. ,on "Beaver Bus Lines" .I remember some of the seedy hotels on North Main, the Sutherland , Particia, Occidental, McClarin and the not so seedy Green Briar.
I recognize most of these photos. Made sure I went into Oretzki's, before it closed for good, the wood floor still creaked!
I grew up in South Winnipeg in the 60s was just there a couple weeks ago and drove through the North End pretty scary
Excellent memories … thanks for the vid.
Outstanding video man.. well done.
Great memories! Thanks!
Awesome!!!
NICE
1:31 - I was Baptized at that church in the background. I know across the street from this photo is Billy Mosienko Lanes.
My Dad grew up in the North End , and used to get into trouble now and then !
Alycia's offered up the best Ukraine food in the city (perogies were the best), great service too. Wow these pictures are nice and the North End of Winnipeg is a real gem some real smart and famous people came out of here.
1:08 I lived on Forrest Avenue and remember when Dominion was IGA. I used to have to walk up these dark stairs in the back to use the washroom.
How was it back then lmao...
Was north end always like that?😂
1:08I live near there but now is IGA
1:43 To the left is Billy Mosienko Lanes.
Sweet Footage of the North End! Hey does anybody on here know where one can find the "Osborne Village Owl"?
Классный видос!!!!

That cycle place on Selkirk used to be Holy Spirit Credit Union, I think it was part of Holy Ghost School...
What street is 1:03? Inkster? Burrows?
1:58 is now a halfway house close to Burrows and main st
I live in winnipeg Manitoba
Who took the photos ?
The good ole days.
Tommy Lee Jones hanging in Northend Pool hall?
Help! I need pics of Sherbrooke & Elgin, Before WESTONS was torn down & before the parking lot; 1960 - 1970 would be perfect.
Hah the Old Pumpkin Buses I used ride em from Main n Burrows to school. Someone should do a OG video all the1970 Banknrobbers like Eddie Eagle etc. Fucking eh to them Guys! Ha the Booze Cans ha was a kid but still remember that.
I live in Winnipeg
I live just down the street at ;10
What school was the last one? Machray?
The last school was William Whyte elementary school on Powers St. and Magnus Ave. Torn down in 1977 and the the new one built at that location.
Nope. I went to Machray. Don't know this one, but it's not Machray.
I believe that last school was William White is a kid I used to climb over the big rod iron fence you see in the arch in front of the school
Looks identical to parts of Edmontons central north side.
Looked like Tommy Lee Jones sitting on the pool table!
That’s Eddie in the photo that’s Eddie’s Place Pool Hall and barbershop my uncle is friends with him and used to take me there from time to time to get my haircut. That was on Sellkirk Avenue
@@Norminator1 Love Eddie's, I remember the North End in the 70s ,Great Video!🇺🇦

MyFam
I expected to hear "Oh Canada". Looked like a typical Canadian city.
Nor'tend!
*infamous
And the Safeway is still there
Polson Ave, my auntie lived 1/2 a block from it for over 50 years.
Awesome photos but the Mozart soundtrack somehow didn't fit here. Too classy for Winnipeg.
I grew up on William Avenue during WWII, then moved to Perth in the North End. I like the music used.
I like the pictures but there no need for the music
There is a volume button for a reason...
