    It was more about proximity

    Oh this could be sooooo funny! St. Vital could be wannabe St. Boniface!

    Speaking of maps, this is very cool, an overlay of a Toronto 1878 Map with the current Metro map. Anybody out there who knows how to do this for Winnipeg?

    So Selkirk would be the cuckoo's nest?
    The North End used to be Perogyland.
    And like if you live in Stony Mountain, everyone would always ask you why you were there and for how long...

    That's better. You other guys were being too tame. If you're going to make a map, you need to ratchet up the bigotry and stereo types a notch.

    The Maples: pregnant teens
    Garden City: Joos.
    Transcona: mushroom farmers and megadeth groupies
    Osborne Village: pot heads
    Fort Richmond: SFU rejects
    Old St.Boniface: outlaw bikers
    Tyndall Park: strippers
    Wolseley: granola-munching tree huggers (that one was easy)

    you get the idea ...

    So, what about West Kildonan, then, smarty-pants? WASP nest?
