Queer Bingo is one of those reliably delightful events. Fun performances in between rounds of bingo, with friendly volunteers and staff. It's just a joyful place to be.
The interior of a large performance venue. There are about a dozen flamboyantly dressed people on stage, and the rest of the venue is full of lint tables of bingo players.

This one? Or is there another? I remember when I was a teenager, a car smashed though the front of the house. That corner gets wicked slippery in winter.
The front of a concrete house at the corner of two streets. The house has a pair of concrete barricades, about hip high, on either side of the door.

This sounds like a great event by @bikewinnipeg > A casually-paced tour will take us north of the tracks, a symbolic barrier that created major social divides still felt in Winnipeg today. www.instagram.com/p/DNHBiceSGY...
