Our Neon City [Currently in Production] Buildings and businesses come and go. Whether a shop the size of a living room, or a postcard piece of the skyline, after they're gone often all that's left are a few photographs and some fading memories. But sometimes there's more. Our Neon City is a documentary series telling the stories behind neon signs that once clung to some of Winnipeg's most historic buildings.

Our Neon City is a short documentary TV series being produced for MTS TV.The series has a short 5-8 minute episode for each of the following iconic Winnipeg businesses:
