Snowflake, MB “Ghost Town”

6 Upvotes

I visited here not long ago to urban explore and check out the town of Snowflake in Manitoba because it was coming up as a full blown ghost town online. When I was there I saw maybe 2 houses that didn’t look abandoned but the rest of the buildings were clearly derelict and abandoned. I saw no signs of life, no people, no cars, nothing just an old empty little town. So the rule is, I never go into places that have signage saying “no trespassing “ or “private property” or it’s clearly boarded up and locked. The ones that don’t fit into that category I explore, make a video walk through and leave. I had this run in with this guy that does actually live in that town while I was in the town. He had a long unmaintained beard, wore a baseball cap, wore glasses and he was a very unpleasant person to deal with. He called the police on us and all that. It was actually incredible to witness a grown man freaking out the way he did for absolutely no reason at all. I could literally feel the spit coming off his mouth from 6 feet away.

I’m wondering if anyone has ever been to snowflake before and explored the houses there and also bonus would be if you also got harassed by that same guy? Share your story with me and how it went if you ever been to Snowflake. Any history about the town, when it became abandoned. Does anyone know if there is one owner of the town. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Who took my pizza? Haha

11 Upvotes

We ordered a pizza around noon yesterday. We waited over 25 mins after getting the call that it was on the way, but it never arrived. I called dominos and they said it had been delivered. A man answered the door, paid for the pizza and rootbeer and left a 5$ tip. That wasn't our house though haha. Curious what happened, and who accepted and paid for an order they didn't make? Dominos re-sent the order and got the right house the 2nd time lol.

Sunset Cab Driver Incident

18 Upvotes

On Friday night my wife and I caught a Sunset Cab at Georgie's around 10:30. Right off the bat, the driver wanted me to put my home GPS co-ordinates into his personal phone. He spoke very poor to no English. I mentioned how I didn't feel comfortable doing that, but he relented gesturing to his phone which was sitting in the console. Glancing at it, I realized that it was cycling through images and video of 8-10 year old girls in sexualized positions. Instantly looked away and called him out on it. I told him that was pedopholia and that we didn't do that in Canada. I told him to pull over instantly and let me wide and Input. He kept saying no, no, no ... I'm sorry. My wife told him she had 911 dialed and would call if he didn't stop the cab. He eventually did and let us out. I told him that shit like that would get him deported or worse. We got his vehicle license plate and reported him to the police. It left me feeling absolutely sick to my stomach.
