1957 Mitchell Bomber Crash in Winnipeg

Yesterday I found out about a Feb 16th 1957 plane crash in Winnipeg. This one was a Mitchell bomber that was coming in from Vancouver, skipped the last refueling stop, and ran out of fuel on approach to the Winnipeg airport.

It came down on three houses adjacent to the airport. There were no deaths or major injuries.
(What I have so far)

Does anyone know where / what street this was on?

At the game today, I was talking with someone in the bombers organization, they inform me that there will be a new logo next season. Anyone care to take a guess what it will look like? Maybe a military feel like the Jets have?
Speculation is that we can't afford both. And to get the NHL back in Winnipeg, some tax money would be needed. Given a choice, which would you rather have? The return of an NHL team to Winnipeg or a new Bomber stadium? Can we afford both?
