When it's all said and done, they'll just put more bars downtown. Oops they
already are.

Anyways, my point was that if Downtown Peggy can win an award, the efforts made
by other business improvement groups must REALLY be lame.

Downtown Peggy is not a real person.
Will Downtown Peggy protect all the weaponless office workers from becoming
victims at the hands of downtown criminals?
The real reason they promote downtown so much is so the Mayor can make more
money on taxes and keep his developer friends happy. The rest of us are just
pawns.
Good areas do not need this type of promotion as they draw people naturally.
The downtown thing here is a game. It's not safe.

The new ad I referenced recently is for Assiniboine Credit Union.
I read in one of those industry publications that sits on coffee tables in the
front offices of Nova Bus an interesting fact.......of all urban Business
Improvement Districts and their various campaigns, the one that Downtown
Winnipeg Biz runs (Downtown Peggy, that know-it-all web mistress) has won a
award for promotional campaigns. This in a magazine that could be forgiven for
not knowing where Winnipeg is, let alone first place.
