Your Favourite Places On Selkirk Avenue

I recently asked a very simple question on my Twitter account out of a genuine curiosity out of what folks would say. As usual, Twitter did not disappoint!! Many people chimed in also sharing their favourites and before I knew it I had a great list of things people liked. But then what?

My favourite places on Selkirk Avenue: Gunn's Bakery, Gangnam Style Sushi, The Money Mart Building on Selkirk/Salter, the bell tower (obviously lol), the palace theatre & merchants corner! What are your favourite spots?? #NorthEndWpg #Winnipeg
