Portage and Main
How an iconic intersection shaped Winnipeg’s history, politics, and urban life
Sabrina Janke, Alex Judge
Winnipeg’s Portage and Main has always been far more than an intersection, and this book explores stories from throughout the city’s history, including how it was closed to pedestrians 50 years ago, and all the efforts made to open it again this year. The intersection’s history reflects ideas of what Winnipeg has been, what it is, and what it could be.
