This World Series commercial shows something crazy. That giant blob of light south of Manitoba is bigger than Chicago but there’s no big city there. It’s actually light from burning off natural gas during the fracking extraction process in the Bakken Oil Fields of North Dakota.

It’s a fun fact that he lived in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga from 1965 until his death in 1980.

Covid was a death blow for Winnipeg’s Portage Avenue, but it looks a neighbourhood focussed rebirth is happening. A small grocery store is opening in the old Don’s Photo’s spot, a new convenience store is joining another that opened last year. All within a block of each other.
