I can attest to many of the details of your trek through the upper bowels of the Manitoba Legislature, including climbing the rickety metal staircase, as can our mutual friend actually named Dan. It was worth the view for the then 3 students working at the Leg.

This post touched me on many levels, good humour. It brought me back to fun times at Ottawa U in the early 70s.

U of O Tabaret Hall looking similar to the 3 Ledges with it's one row of columns and stairway to education.

Oddly the Purple City lights put me into Prince's Purple Rain song, though the meaning is very different-

''When there’s blood in the sky… red and blue = purple''. ''could have sworn it was Judgment Day, the sky was all purple… '' hmm? stage lights made it purple, an inspiration?

Who can forget Colin Thatcher...

Thanks,

Drive safe
