The Stockholm Barge Bar

Finally! I found a photo of a Stockholm barge bar! I am so happy. These are sheer awesomeness. They open as soon as the water's open--They supply customers with warm blankets and those gas tower heaters to keep them warm in the fall and spring. They are always packed--especially after work and on weekends. People love them.

Barge Bar!

Winnipeg MUST IMPLEMENT THE BARGE BAR. Granted, Winnipeg's rivers are hideous during the day, unlike the beautiful, clean, blue Stockholm waterways. But people love water and sunshine anyway, and consider: night covers all ugliness crimes. This is the perfect way to allow Winnipeggers to get something out of living at the crossroads of two flood-prone rivers.

Just park a couple of decommissioned barges by the Leg, the Norwood Bridge Underpass Walkway in St. Boniface, the Maryland Bridge, etc., stick in some floating docks connecting high ground and the barges, hire waitstaff, and stock the barges with wine and Half Pints beer, good sandwiches, heaters and blankets, and voila! It is a delight, and the city (or the MLCC) could make some good income.
