Under the southern skies , in a province called Manitoba , in Canada, lies a thriving city of 650,000 people, called Winnipeg .
In the 1700's a vibrant , young , entrepaneur named Pierre de La Verendrye errected a fur trading settlement at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers . Known today as one of Winnipegs greatest landmarks The Forks Market , and is still enjoyed as a favorite meeting place among many Winnipeggers .
Still known today a sort of modern day trading post , at The Forks Market you will find fresh produce , clothing , dinning, crafts , and a virtual cornacopia of things to do and see .
Home of the most famous intersection in Canada, Portage and Main , the heart of Winnipeg's business district , tucked deep in the middle of downtown , it now boasts the breathtakeing architecutre of its citizens of the past and present .
Right from the T. Eaton Company , errected in 1905 to the most recent addition of the TD tower, it is apparent that time has forgotten cirtain peices of history in this livley city on The Red.
