Secrets of Winnipeg

There is more than meets the eye with a city such as Winnipeg. Often people get caught up in the huge city centers such as malls, theatres, parks, etc. However, there is much more to a city if you take the time to explore it. There is such beauty in the small things and Winnipeg is a city which proves this.
Today, I discovered an amazing ice cream parlour with a friend. This place does not receive enough credit for how great it is. Bridge Drive-In has apparently the best ice cream in Winnipeg which is something I have been unaware of for an entire year. Something as amazing as BDI should be advertised by word of mouth much more than it actually is. Then again, maybe it receives its magic in its mystery. Once the mystery is gone, so is the magic. It may not be mysterious in the eerie, creepy sense but mysterious in the unknown, something different sense.
Maybe I am being extremely naive when it comes to this place. Maybe it is well-known and I am just the last to know. However, this place is special to me because it is something new, something different. To me, it holds a certain mystery because I have not been there before. As well, it is a place now where I can hold a special memory. It is a place where I connected with an old friend; someone I was not close with before based on my misunderstanding. Often people judge others based on their own understandings and forget about change of perspective. Not everyone is the same, and so when you are getting to know someone it is best to keep in mind the change of perspective. Their views may be different than yours but they are still wonderful in their own way. This magic I discovered at BDI. Like my friend, it is a place of different perspective. It is not like the mall, the theatre or the park in that everyone loves it. No, it is different and reveals a completely different side of Winnipeg. The secret is, that there is much more to a city or person if you take the time to explore it. The surface will always be there but the heart you have to dig for.
