  • Can we take a minute to appreciate the bookstore that this is happening at?

    It’s called McNally Robinson. It’s based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It has previously expanded into places like New York city, but I believe now only operates out of Winnipeg .

    It is a phenomenal bookstore that does wonders for local artists giving them platforms they otherwise would not get.

    Great story all around.

    ETA, I’d recognize that logo anywhere, been driving by it my whole life.



  • I do this with my daughter while waiting for her therapy appointment. We sit in the park across the street and eat a happy meal while chatting. I don’t know if it’s the therapy or the time together but she’s so much more balanced since we started this I’m good paying for the therapy even if it’s our conversations that are making that difference.

    It’s one of the highlights of my week, and I’m about to leave the office to go grab her for it.

    Plenty in Manitoba but they’ll also speak English. St Boniface is an entire neighborhood in Winnipeg where French is primary, including the arret signs. There’s a number of towns around the province where it’s the primary language as well. Bilingual of course but French is the usual spoken language.
