I only suggested the St. B because my cousin used to own it. Things have changed quite a lot since I lived in the 'peg. Sigh. All my old hangouts are gone now.

I get back every now and then; visit friends and family. It's been 5 years since the last time, though. I do miss it though.

A party yes, but not super rowdy. Well... it depends on how much drinking I do, but that wont be till much later.
And, it'll be at the house of a friend in south osborne :)

Winnipeggers tend to be down on the city a bit, but visitors seem to kind of like the place.

"One Great City!" lyrics:
Late afternoon, another day is nearly done A darker grey is breaking through a lighter one A thousand sharpened elbows in the underground That hollow hurried sound, feet on polished floor And in the dollar store, the clerk is closing up And counting loonies trying not to say
I hate Winnipeg
The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates The Guess Who sucked, the Jets were lousy anyway The same route everyday And in the turning lane Someone’s stalled again He’s talking to himself And hears the price of gas repeat his phrase
I hate Winnipeg
And up above us all Leaning into sky Our golden business boy Will watch the North End die And sing, “I love this town” Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim
I Hate Winnipeg

Congrats!
May 12 has a similar meaning to me. It is the day my ex-wife and I separated (physically), even though we'd been emotionally apart for a few years before that.
Hey, maybe I should roadtrip up there. :toast:

50% of all marriages end in divorce these days, so the odds are even that you'll have more than one marriage in your lifetime.

81. Don't worry ic...just don't settle for "less than"... |
|
My father (who is divorcing my mom after 40 years) told me the other day that he was unsure on his wedding day. Not nervous, but unsure. It's his belief that too many people are just like him. Too many people are too afraid to wait...fearing they'll grow old. On my wedding day, I was filled with surety and happiness. On bad days, days when we don't get along, I remember my wedding day and how I felt then. It works. :hug:

YES roadtrip up for my birthday!!!!!!!!! You can totally crash at my place and we can totally have like a sleepover and like it'd be so cool.
Except I'd be very very drunk. Ask Sugar Smack for a reference on how drunk I was after my last birthday.

from I-29, so it is a straight shot. A very long straight shot, that unfortunately goes throught the clusterfu$% of Omaha, but a straight shot nonetheless. My brother-in-law's band did a song on their first album called "It's a long drive (I-29)" which would be so apropo.
