Kenora putting on its best face - Winnipeg Free Press
Anyone who has seen the Disney film Cars knows the sad story of the fictional town of Radiator Springs. The once-lively stop on Route 66 was effectively erased from the map when a new freeway was built bypassing the town. The economy crashed. The tire shop couldn't sell tires, the hotel couldn't rent rooms and the sleepy main drag fell into disrepair.
The city of Kenora, Ont., was faced with the possibility of this story becoming a reality when in 1990 the decision was made to build a bypass on the Trans-Canada Highway. This new road would divert 3,500 vehicles every day away from the city's picturesque main street. Coupled with the closing of the paper mill, the city's largest employer for 80 years, Kenora seemed destined to become a real life Radiator Springs....

New Boat to the Harbour
Her are a few pics and comments on the newest boat to the harbour from Mark and Monique - prior boat EX-TA-SEA.
"The boat is great. There is so much room with a 10'-8" beam and 6' headroom. Mark and I had it delivered at the harbour on Wednesday morning. It was transported with the stern facing ahead on the trailer, so by the time it arrived, we had lots of bug guts to clean off. Mark managed to paint the bottom yesterday and now we plan to clean the interior this weekend. We want to replace the upholstery in the salon this winter. It was replaced in 2006 but the pattern choice is not to our liking. Here are a few pics of the boat.
The Abbott is up for sale right now. I have pics post on Kijiji Winnipeg, and the boat looks sharp."
Welcome and best of luck next year with the new boat.
