Portage and Main
This is a photograph of the corner of Portage Avenue and Main Street in Winnipeg. This is one of the most famous corners in Canada and the United States. Many people have called it the windiest and coldest corner in North America. Have you ever stood at the corner of Portage and Main? Did you find it windy or cold? Does the corner look different today than it does in the photograph? If so, how?
