Business & Industry
EDELMA MIRANDA
Owner, Wall Street Slice
“I was born and raised in the West End and one of my biggest dreams in life was to own a restaurant one day. Wall Street was definitely a main street I would never forget growing up, filled with businesses and industrial views. I am so happy to have our pizza shop on a high traffic street alongside other successful businesses. ”

“What I like about this neighbourhood is that it’s right in the centre – my customers come from all parts of Winnipeg.”
Growth & Change
History
Winnipeg’s substantial residential growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Commerce developed along the neighbourhood’s main east-west arteries and the Erin and Wall corridor – the city’s industrial corridor of the future. The periods of dramatic early growth, mid 20th century disinvestment and recent resurgence have all left their unique impressions on the neighbourhood but the West End remains the image of the neighbourhood it has always been. The population density, diverse commerce and industry, well-connected transportation routes and central location solidify the West End as an authentic and real neighbourhood.
