c9This city is very cold, so there's an extensive underground much like the big cities have. (I know, I know, Winnipeg is a big city. Mostly. But still.)
The phone in my hotel room has buttons for Front Desk, Wake-Up Calls, Housekeeping, Reservations, Taxi, Pizza Delivery, Chinese Food Delivery, Chicken Delivery, Weather Information, Tourist Information.
The radio in my hotel room has buttons for radio stations labelled Soft Rock, Rock, Country, Pop, Jazz. They have tiny pictures above each label, picturing a mountain stream with various rocks, a large tunnel through a mountain, some serious-looking cows, bottles of pop, and a train zipping past a crossing, respectively.
On the way to the hotel, I passed a business of some sort. The sign said, and I quote:
Laundromat Pizza Convenience Store Chicken Car Wash EXIT

2. I keep reading that sign text as "Chicken Wash". Which makes sense - you never know where that chicken you've just had delivered has been!
