The problem lies with out archaic liquor laws here. Dive bars can be charming, but here they need to come along with dingy SROs or rundown hotels - or be attached to a restaurant and/or serve food.

Needs to be changed for sure.

Winnipeg’s office vacancy rate to tick higher downtown, tighten in suburbs: report

As noted in the outlook report, higher vacancies can be turned around to create a “healthier downtown.” The opening of the Wawanesa Tower downtown and possible conversions of two downtown buildings that once hosted the company could help in “moving real estate from the office designation,” according to CBRE.

This is an interesting tidbit. Their Main at York building has been sold, so this leaves one to speculate on their current HQ on Broadway or the space they have at 330 Main. Both would be great to have re-purposed and taken out of the office classification ultimately.
