“The main road in our early community was the King’s Road that led to Upper Fort Garry. It was changed to Main St. and became the main thorough-way of the Settlement. Business started and grew on this street until 1903 when Timothy Eaton decided to build his large retail store on Portage Ave, which was just a side street, so to speak. That store changed the whole landscape of the area and the city. Let’s examine that.”
