A few years ago I was in what I thought was downtown staying at the Fort Gary and I thought everything was fine - but I guess that is like saying you were staying at the Hotel Vancouver but didnt walk a few blocks down to the Victory Square area.

Indeed.  The Fort Gary is in a pretty decent area.  It gets worse as you work your way north.

An article about downtown Winnipeg from Malthus' hometown Toronto Star:

This sentence fragment kinda threw me a bit:

Quote... as God and urban planners intended, downtown Winnipeg has been mostly a ghost town, especially at night.

Come on - much of north america was like this not too long ago.

Hmmmm maybe so.  I mean people are always talking about the 'Inner City' and 'Urban Poverty' and so forth I just figured that wasn't actually in downtown.

I thought the Forks had been renovated ~20 years ago.

Yes, but they keep doing more and more in that area.

Why don't they clean up the town?
Too many Indians in the area.  They'd have to deport them all.
