lol did you guys know that your beloved U OF W " IN DOWNTOWN A HUNDRED YEARS AGO WAS ACUALLY AN INSAINE ASSYLAM ' FOR THE INSAINE ' NOW ITS A SCHOOL OF HIGHER LEARNING ' LMFAO ' CHEERS
@SlurpeeQueen21 your point is? And by the way, learn to spell. Sounds like you could use some time in a school of higher learning. Actually, from the intelligence that is oozing out of your comment, you could use to go back to kindergarten
It's Eaton's.. (sadly) they modernized the clock in the 60s. It used to be brassy and classy...Great to see the basilica. Too bad they built awful Portage Place and the goofy crossovers...
lots more people downtown than now, unless theres a jets game or something.. too bad all the homeless and pan handlers had to invade wpg down town. much safer back then.. why cant i be alive in that era lol
@deltanalliance Don't see any street cars, phaps you don't mean the electric trolley buses, which were around in the 60s. If you do see a tram, which frame?
I was born in Winnipeg June 29, 1966. It is so great to see this video. St. B still looks the same as well as the outside of the Bay and also the area around the Leg. Portage ave changed a lot due to Portage Place. Thanks for posting this I really enjoyed it.

That's not the Bay inside. That's Eatons. The Bay has thick support columns.

I bet this is older than 66..... streetcars were phased out in Winnipeg in 1959

Actually, I'm almost certain the interior shots were from Eaton's. I recognize the clocks.
