Winnipeg (i/ˈwɪnɪpɛɡ/) is the capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba, Canada. It is located near the longitudinal centre of North America, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.
The name "Winnipeg" comes from the Western Cree words for Lake Winnipeg nearby, referring to muddy or brackish water, or possibly the natural colour of the Red River that flowed into the southern basin of the lake. The region was a trading centre for aboriginal peoples long before the arrival of Europeans. French traders built the first fort on the site in 1738. A settlement was later founded by the Selkirk settlers of the Red River Colony in 1812, the nucleus of which was incorporated as the City of Winnipeg in 1873. As of 2011, Winnipeg is the seventh most populated municipality in Canada.
Known as the "Gateway to the West", Winnipeg is a railway and transportation hub with a diversified economy. This multicultural city hosts numerous annual festivals, including the Festival du Voyageur, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Jazz Winnipeg Festival, the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, and Folklorama. Winnipeg was the first Canadian host of the Pan American Games. It is home to several professional sports franchises, including the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Canadian football), the Winnipeg Jets (ice hockey), Manitoba Moose (ice hockey) and the Winnipeg Goldeyes (baseball).
Main Street is a generic phrase used to denote a primary retail street of a village, town or small city in many parts of the world. It is usually a focal point for shops and retailers in the central business district, and is most often used in reference to retailing and socializing.
The term is commonly used in Ireland, Scotland, the United States, Canada, and less often in Australia and New Zealand. In most of the United Kingdom the common description is High Street. However, the term "Main Street" is sometimes used in the UK, for instance, in the village of Sutton Cheney. In Jamaica the term is Front Street. In some parts of the south west of England the equivalent used is Fore Street.
In some larger cities, there may be several Main Streets, each relating to a specific neighborhood or formerly separate city, rather than the city as a whole. In many larger U.S. cities "Main Street" is a U.S. Highway; "Main Street of America" branding was used to promote U.S. Route 66 in its heyday.
Manitoba (i/ˌmænᵻˈtoʊbə/) is a province located at the longitudinal centre of Canada. It is one of the three prairie provinces and is the fifth-most populous province in Canada, with a population of 1,208,268 as of 2011. Manitoba covers an area of 649,950 square kilometres (250,900 sq mi) with a widely varied landscape; the southern and western regions are predominantly prairie grassland, the eastern and northern regions are dominated by the Canadian Shield, and the far northern regions along the Hudson Bay coast are arctic tundra. Manitoba is bordered by the provinces of Ontario to the east and Saskatchewan to the west, the territory of Nunavut to the north, and the US states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south.
More than 90% of Manitoba's population lives within the far southern regions of the province, where its arable land and largest cities are located. The northern region of Manitoba, which encompasses nearly 70% the province's total area, is mostly undeveloped consisting primarily of remote and isolated communities amongst vast wilderness.Winnipeg is the capital and most populous city in Manitoba by a significant margin, with 730,018 people residing in the Winnipeg Capital Region. Other cities in the province are Brandon, Portage la Prairie, Steinbach, Thompson, Winkler, Selkirk, Dauphin, Morden, and Flin Flon.

Circa (from Latin, meaning "around, about"), usually abbreviated c., ca or ca. (also circ. or cca.), means "approximately" in several European languages including English, usually in reference to a date.Circa is widely used in genealogy and historical writing when the dates of events are not accurately known. When used in date ranges, circa is applied before each approximate date, while dates without circa immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty. For example:

I'm taking a quick break from my UK series to bring you this evening drive. To get to the UK I first had to cross the Atlantic Ocean. I did this by catching a direct (yes direct) flight to London Gatwick at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. The new terminal was just built a few years ago, lets go have a look!
My friends took my GoPro HD camera on a few rides at the ex and this is what they saw.

I am you are me, I am you are me
I am you are me, I am you are me
(I am you are me, I am you are me)
Good woman said, "You gotta believe"
(I am you are me, I am you are me)
Submerge into the urge of we
(I am you are me, I am you are me, I am you are me)
Deliciously, the mystery, the mystery
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob is
Ooze into into my noodle, east or west shepherd or poodle
Lady bug, pine tree to mingle with the bumblebee
A lover to the sun and a brother to the cool breeze
One big mob is
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob is
We live in the city, we live in the jungle
It's time to be drinking a thimble humble
Everything you ever see is never more than you and me
Give it on into the beauty of the mystery
One big mob is all
One big mob in one big home, a broken home
I'd like to share some air with you, some air with you
A morning forest full of truths, the green is blue
The head that's getting pregnant lives to give and give
What was I thinking in my head? The color red
Breaking hearts instead of bread, something I said
Checkmated by frustration, I need to be cut loose
A different kind of being lost, a sullen cost
I am you are me, I am you are me
I am you are me, I am you are me
(I am you are me, I am you are me)
Good woman said, "You gotta believe"
(I am you are me, I am you are me)
Submerge into the urge of we
(I am you are me, I am you are me, I am you are me)
Deliciously, the mystery, the mystery
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob is
Scrawled upon the wall of a bathroom stall
A stranger wrote a note that spoke to all
One, two, buckle my shoe
Take care of me 'cause I might be you
One big mob is
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
Eh bara mala, oh yeah, oh yeah
One big mob is
Picaboo street in Timbuktu
Do I need to repeat that a boy named Sue?
Rockin' to the beat of the kangaroo
Let me kiss your feet and forehead too
