The First Big City I Ever Roamed Around Alone In - Winnipeg Manitoba

 
I would get sentenced to spend a week with my Aunt in the summer but she never cared to entertain me or even feed me so I grabbed myself a bus schedule at age 11 and would tour around the city. That was perfect training for the next summer when I just took off and saw Star Wars on my own because no one at the house would take me to see the movie, which was the only reason I came up to the city with my family. I watched that film three times in a row and they had the cops out looking for me but I didn't care. Love that city.

Man, that's an old, old photo of Portage Ave. Must date from the 60s or 70s, I'd say. I love The Peg too!
