This past Saturday, I attempted to go see the Marilyn Monroe: Life as a Legend exhibition at the WAG with good friends, James, Doug and Raelene. Unfortunately for us, we were a bit late in arriving, and opted to visit the Forks Market instead.
For those of you who are familiar with Winnipeg and the Forks, you can see in the picture above, the river walk is completely invisible, covered by a thick (and rising) layer of ice. Flood worries are definitely running high as the ice 'jams and dams.'
We ended up exploring the Antique Mall located on the lower level of the Johnston Terminal. It's quite an interesting place to say the least...
I've always enjoyed classic pop bottles... for nostalgic reasons perhaps? I wonder what Snow White pop actually was? I'm guessing cream soda? I wonder if it was actually white like Calpis or Calpico (a Japanese beverage).
James offered $10 to anyone who would drink this (after signing a waiver of liability that is)... ;)
Doug aka The Orange Kid, posing with his Elvis shades amongst the Elvis antiques(?)...
One of the more interesting finds was this creepy, Colonel Sanders statue/bank (enhanced creepiness via Photoshop). It was immediately dubbed the 'Why so serious?' Colonel (ala Dark Knight - Joker).
View the rest of the pics from my antique road trip on my Flickr, here - enjoy! Cheers!

I just noticed that the price tag on the "Mission" mystery pop is $10. So I'm guessing James' offer to pay anyone ten bucks to drink would then have to spend their winnings on paying for the bottle. Clever boy.
