Tough, sturdy, muscular, midwestern -- that's Winnipeg, Manitoba's capital. The history of its rich architecture -- brick warehouses, quarried stone banks, railroad depots, and grain elevators -- all testify to its historical role as a distribution-and-supply center, first for furs and then for agricultural products. It's a toiling city where about 680,000 inhabitants sizzle in summer and shovel in winter.
That's one side. The other is a city and populace that have produced a symphony orchestra that triumphed in New York, the first Royal ballet company in the British Commonwealth, and a theater-and-arts complex worthy of any national capital.
