This is rather interesting. Looknig East on Saskatchewan Ave while on Whytewold Rd, Google Street View clearly shows Wihuri Rd.
Going down to Silver Ave and inching your way up to Saskatchewan Ave, chevron by chevron, the street name Whytewold Rd
never changes, right up to and including the spot where I turned the view to the right and made the screen print, depicting Wihuri Rd.
Contrary to the problem three years ago this street is definitely within the City Limits of Winnipeg. But then, the city is too cheap to put steet name signs at all intersections.
Since Google does not find the street when entered in their command line I am not very surprised that TomTom does not either, as they normally lag behind.
If you know for a fact that this change has been for some time I would suggest you call the City and in the Roads Dept. ask to clarify if the name had been changed officially or if the sign has been put up to humour the Forces.
If it is reported as a true change open the Google map and in the RH bottom corner click on "Report a problem" and follow the guide/instructions.
Also, unless it was confirmed to you, do not use Map Share to make that change unless you are set up
not to share your changes with others.
Please give us a feed back as to how you made out, once you got around to it to get more details.
OFF TOPIC
Some of the older buildings look strangely familiar.
Back in 1968 the company, where I had just hired on as an order clerk, received a telegramme from the DoD that unless a taper turning attachment, on a lathe at the air base in winnipeg is being mounted within 10 working days, all 22 lathes of that Air Force order would be returned to the company at its expense, including the one that had been shipped the Lahr, Germany.
Two service men on summer vacation one in Switzerland and one in Germany for additional factory training of new products.
The big chief came to me and asked if would fly out the next day and install the attachment.
I told him that I wasn't too keen as I just had spent 15 months of my intended 2-1/2 year stay as a service man and that I needed to get more than a year of office work under my belt before going home and showing the papers of my foreign experience and office work and I was afraid that any time an "emergency" would crop up I'd be back out on the shop floor.
He asked me to do this one as a personal favour, and being in my three month trial period, I agreed.
Was at the airport at 0700 only with a carry on leather tool kit. Got to Winnipeg at about 0830 called the contact Sergeant, the sent a jeep across the tarmac and drove me over to the machine shop.
Was finished just before 1600 and since return flight didn't leave until just after 2000 had a few beers in the NCO mess and then they drove me back across the tarmac to the terminal. Getting to Toronto at 2245.
Why is this indelibly etched on my mind?
During the 3 month trial period I was paid $2.50/h. I had just quit the service job at 2.75 and when I gave them 14 days notice they offered 3.25, same as the long term fitters were getting.
Now, since I was paid by the hour at that time, I put in my overtime for that day from and back to the Toronto Airport.
When I got my pay packet it was way short of what I had figured it would be.
Questioning the Comptroller he said "We don't pay time and a half, we pay time and a quarter for overtime.
I told him to pay me as per my filled time slip, including time and a half or tell the big Chief never ever to ask me to do a service job for the company.
I wasn't quite tuned in to the North American ways but that's how I remember.
