Demolition crews have begun tearing down the Carlton Inn building on Carlton St. at St. Mary Ave. in downtown Winnipeg. CentreVenture bought the building last year with plans to demolish it and replace it with a new hotel complex. The downtown development agency has been working on transforming the area into a massive sports, hospitality and entertainment district (SHED). Wayne Glowacki / Winnipeg Free Press April 7 2014
