What a lovely way to spend your lunch time. DH and I lived in a condo before we moved south and we loved it. I would definitely be open to condo living again. I think there is a lot to be said (most of it good!) for downsizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295784 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 03:27:13 +0000 Debbie 1295784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these pictures. I wish I could talk hubs into downtown living. He would rather drive me crazy remodeling. I hope there is a condo available when you are ready. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295646 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 22:42:07 +0000 Angie 1295646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast. I get Calgary and Winnipeg mixed up. </p> <p>And YES. I can see the gorgeous and picturesque&nbsp;French influence. (We lived in France for a few years). </p> <p>Most&nbsp;women in Europe&nbsp;have small closets - because their homes are very&nbsp;small -&nbsp;and they refresh seasonally. It's part of the fun to hone your purchases even further. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295602 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 20:44:07 +0000 deb 1295602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful neighborhood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295518 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 17:20:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1295518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - the neighbourhood is across the river from the Legislative building and isn't the winter skating on the river fabulous?</p> <p>Dianthus - yep, St. B hospital is where I'm at. My goodness we could meet on the Provencher Bridge couldn't we?</p> <p>Angie - this is Winnipeg and a city I'm proud to call home The neighbourhood I work in and long to live in is the largest French community outside of Quebec and it has that French euro kind of vibe. A small shared closet refreshed each season huh? You're giving me hope!</p> <p>Thanks for letting me indulge you with my pics ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295467 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 15:53:57 +0000 Neel 1295467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your work neighborhood. And it would be fantastic if you could walk to work, isn't it? Fingers crossed things work out as per your plans x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295462 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 15:37:14 +0000 Janet 1295462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That does look like a wonderful walk...and place to work! Years ago I worked in a private school in one of the prettiest, nicest neighborhoods in the city, and I used to do the same thing: eat a quick bite, and then take a 45-min walk all around the neighborhood. Twenty years later, I still remember those walks fondly. I had a co-worker who walked with me most days too. </p> <p>The condo situation sounds great for when you're ready for a move! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295459 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 15:34:05 +0000 Angie 1295459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous. What is the name of the city? It's in Calgary isn't it. I hope you find a fab condo soon. It's a fun and exciting time for you and hubs.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love city living. And FWIW, we live in a very small house with a very small walk-in wardrobe that I share with Greg. I replenish every season. xo.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295379 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 13:03:52 +0000 Deborah 1295379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon what a beautiful place. No wonder you would like to live in the area! Thanks for sharing. Maybe I need to walk at lunch time also...hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295284 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 04:08:42 +0000 jackiec 1295284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! I used to love spending my lunch hours walking! Keep your eye on those condos and you never know what might pop up on your lunchtime walks thanks for sharing - you work in a pretty neighbourhood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295249 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 02:47:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1295249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you working in St. B? &nbsp;I am at the Forks. &nbsp;We should meet up for a walk one day. &nbsp;Last summer I walked to the Leg and back almost every day at lunch time but the river walk is under water this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295157 Sat, 05 Jul 2014 00:22:42 +0000 abc 1295157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;How picturesque (sp). &nbsp;I would live there in a heartbeat, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1295063 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 20:59:51 +0000 Suz 1295063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that neighbourhood! I stayed in a hotel near there and walked to the downtown to buy a pair of sunnies when mine broke, when I was there to give a&nbsp;reading a few years ago. It was winter and I brought my skates and skated on the river! I walked past the legislative buildings on my way...</p> <p>I hope your condo works out, Shannon. Mr. Suz and I also want to scale back to a condo but need to wait until DD is finished high school.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1294950 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 18:37:40 +0000 Ornella 1294950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a beautiful place and I'm so glad you shared it with us.</p> </p> <p>Just keep an eye on the condos. You never know. And if it happens earlier that you plan or think you are ready, you'll know <i>there and then&nbsp;</i>if it's still&nbsp;<i>right for you</i> to move.&nbsp;Life works in mysterious ways.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1294945 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 18:32:59 +0000 LACeleste 1294945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really appealing Shannon! &nbsp;I hope your plan works out! &nbsp;Very nice place and proximity to work would be wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-work-environment#post-1294944 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 18:31:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1294944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not only is the new job itself fantastic, but the neighborhood I work in is beautiful. I decided last week that my lunch time workout would now include a brisk 45 minute walk outdoors in the area, weather permitting of course. My previous job location was in the city core area and not a safe place to walk around. In fact, if you were leaving the office outside of normal work hours, a security escort to your vehicle was highly recommended.</p> <p>It's a beautiful day today and since I take my iPhone with me when I go for my walk (just in case), I thought I'd snap a few pics and let you see what I see when I'm powerwalking down the sidewalk...enjoy :)</p> <p>BTW this is the neighborhood we're wanting to move into. I would be able to walk to work, my hubby would be within bike riding distance of his office and it's a mere 10 minutes from downtown and other funky neighborhoods. In fact, pic #11 is one of the condo buildings we really like. It is incredibly well maintained, has underground parking, lovely balconies and has been recently upgraded inside. Wouldn't it be sweet if there was a vacancy when we were ready? </p>
