The biggest question trending to date this summer in Brandon is whether or not the new Gambler First Nation Business Park will entertain some sort of casino or gaming centre. As this discussion remains on-going in coffee shops, work spaces and social media, we at bdnmb.ca wanted like to ignite some conversation on several other topics making the rounds in Brandon currently. Therefore, listed below are the “Top 10 Questions Left to be Answered in Brandon This Summer”. In no particular order.
10. The search for a new GM continues for the Wheat Kings. Will head coach David Anning and assistant coach Don MacGillivray be back behind the Wheat Kings bench to start the 19/20 season?
9. Have Brandon drivers finally learned how to merge lanes, or is it time for another digital sign on 18th Street heading northbound towards the Daly Overpass?
8. Will another restaurant fill the space most recently vacated by Astoria Pizza, or is the location cursed?
7. Speaking of pizza, has anyone tried Red Swan Pizza? According to their web site, they are planning on opening a location (Unit D – 1122 18th Street) in Brandon this summer. (calls/emails from bdnmb.ca to confirm have not yet been returned)
6. How many fans can the Wheat City Whiskey Jacks attract on night 7 of an 8-game home-stand?
