THE EXCHANGE DISTRICT & THE FORKS HISTORIC AND FUNKY

earlier time that reaches down the road to the treasures in theatre.

DAWN PETER

Winnipeg’s Exchange District is historic, funky and on the edge of the three sides of art, architecture and commerce. Tightly located between Notre Dame and Ross Avenue from Adelaide to Main Street and across Main, close to the Forks near the Red River, the Exchange is alive with culture and currency.

With established venues for entertainment, the area is always lively. It is home to the Fringe festival that hosts wacky plays in intriguing locations; the Jazz festival that boasts beautiful music; and Old Market Square with its terra cotta structures surrounding City Hall.

Walking down the streets gives you the sense that you’re part of an

In the Exchange, the commoners are celebrated on the common grounds. Albert Street ends with a view of the stage at the park. Store owners open their doors during business hours only to have the clubs close theirs because they’re full.

Residents in the Exchange District range from semi-retired lovers of culture to 30-something film buffs, but the main demographic for this area is quite distinct: Singles in their late-30s with a slightly above-average income. Since any locale in this area is within walking distance of the downtown business district, most can work close to home.

Named for the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, the Exchange District, including the Forks, is home to more than 150 heritage buildings. The Health Sciences Centre is the closest hospital and both Red River College Continuing

Education and the University of Winnipeg are in the immediate area and surrounding the Exchange.

The Exchange and especially the Forks’ market have a fascinating assortment of art, framing and clothing shops. The foodies will love it, too, and the nightlife beats with the heart of the city. Tourists would be sorry not to see the museums and the river firsthand.

The one-way streets, the cobblestone and the prairie pieshaped community all converge to encourage walking over driving in the Exchange. Parking is limited, except at the Forks parkade. Most are available on street level. Buses and taxis are available day or night with main routes going in all directions nearby. Cyclists are common as well, as there are many places to park your bike.

ROOMMATE LIVING

HOW TO DEAL WITH REPLENISHABLES

JACKIE MARCHILDON

Living with roommates has many benefits but it can get a little tricky if you don’t decide how to deal with the usual living costs that go along with rent. I’m talking about replenishables such as toilet paper, food, dish soap, light bulbs, paper towels, etc. The sooner you choose the best way for you and your roomies to buy this stuff, the better. It will help you avoid fighting over who uses the most toilet paper.

TAKE TURNS BUYING: This works if – and only if – everyone agrees to it. If not, it’s chaos. You probably don’t want to buy toilet paper and just assume your roommate will grab it next time, because that roommate might never buy any. Be clear — I’ll buy this pack; you buy the next.

Decide who buys what and for where if you’re going to take turns. Same goes for groceries, cleaning supplies and anything else you might share.

THE SLUSH FUND: If you think it’s necessary, create a fund that you all contribute to that will be there when you need essentials. Placing a jar in the kitchen works as long as everyone agrees not to use the funds for take-out (it can be tempting when you get low on groceries). Decide on an amount that everyone will contribute on a weekly or monthly basis, and confirm what the funds will be

used for to buy. Will they strictly be used for household supplies or will they pay for groceries, too?

KEEP THINGS SEPARATE: If you can’t all agree on the best way to deal with replenishables, it’s best to keep it all separate. If you’re living with someone you strictly consider a roommate, and not necessarily a friend, this is often the best bet. It can get tiresome to split up toilet paper but it can also avoid awkward scenarios and fights about money. There’s nothing wrong with keeping things to yourself, plus it can make your monthly budgeting a lot easier.

EMBRACE FAMILY LIVING: If you’re close with your roommates, you might not need an actual system. For some roommates, especially those who have lived together for a long time, these things just work themselves out. You’ll grab toilet paper when it’s on sale, and so

will your roommate. You’ll make dinner, they’ll do the dishes, and vice versa. If you like to bake, and your roommates like to eat your baking, they’ll make sure the house is always stocked with flour.

When you live like this, you have more of a family dynamic than a roommate agreement. It can be wonderful to have a relationship like this, but it’s not for everyone. Make sure you’re all on board before you start using your roomies’ shampoo or eating their cereal!

coffee But first,

by SALINA YARA HALABI

Trendy local coffee shops have a special place in our java-loving hearts. Not only do they serve delicious sips, but they also offer a relaxed yet hip environment where we connect with friends… or escape on our own. Recreating this coffee sanctuary in your kitchen can completely elevate your daily routine, and even create a new ritual that will add intention to your day. Forget the days of rushed coffee as you run out the door – this kitchen edit is all about that lingering café experience. So, it’s time to give some extra attention to that forgotten kitchen corner or cluttered countertop and create a fabulous coffee retreat you can enjoy every day.

When it comes to enhancing the coffee vibe in your kitchen, consider creating a dedicated area where you can enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or family. Use neutral colours such as white, cream, black or brown to add a coffee-approved foundation in the space, then add unexpected accessories such as an ornate cart to showcase your updated coffee bar. Place all the coffee extras on display — flavoured creamers, small bites, or even a martini shaker and spirit of choice for the espresso martini fans.

Tight on space? A countertop coffee experience can feel just as elevated with an update to your appliances. A beautiful pour-over coffee maker, a stylish espresso machine, or a classic French press will not only look good, but also have you deliciously sipping in your kitchen.

Create a dedicated shelf or cabinet to store your coffee cups and small accessories such as a frother (a must!). And don’t forget about the beans. Whether it’s local roasts or your favourite blend, bring in flavours you love or try new beans to make a specialty crafted pour every time. Of course, teas and cocoa are also welcome. Add some coffee shop tunes and your kitchen is about to become a barista’s paradise.
