This book is about a city's current state versus its potential state. It examines the dynamic beginnings that gave the city an exciting promise for the future and how that promise evaporated through the 20th century. The premise is that the author falls asleep in the forward of the book and wakes up in the epilogue, only to realize that all of the grand ideas discussed in the 16 chapters to help the city reach its potential were just a dream. Find out how the development mistakes of Winnipeg parallel the lunacy of Monty Python, Get Smart and Police Squad. Even though the subject matter focuses on one city, the issues raised affect most cities to varying degrees. Any reader with an interest in urban development, design or the twilight zone should find the material relevant to their experiences.
