I have the "Inside Connection"


One thing I like about Montreal is you can pretty much get from point A to point B without having to go outside. I mean sure it's nice to walk outside when it's nice out but when the weather is snowing and raining or your hands feel like they're going to freeze off, it's nice to have the option. Saint John,NB much like Montreal has taken the same approach when it comes to the inside connection. You can get from one side of the city to the other through underground walkways and pedways. It's a feature that the city has to offer not only citizens for tourists. I run into people travelling here from Cruise ships all of the time who say how much they love the fact that they don;t have to go outside.

Snow Golf? why not....


This weekend was full of things to do. We had the wine festival that came to town, snowgolf 2010, and not to mention several bands playing at different venues around the city. Saturday was jam packed for me. I went to Snowgolf 2010 held in Midland at the Midland Meadows Gold Course. This was a great course covered in snow so I can't even imagine how nice it is when green! I definitely will be checking it out when the golf season starts up again.. hopefully sooner than later! Lots of money was raised in support of the Children's Wish Foundation which was awsome. Later that night I decided I would check out O'learys which is an irish pub in the Saint John city centre. The music was great! Boys Next Door is a band from Nova Scotia. They were there full tilt and kept the place rocking all night long! Good music, good people, what more could I ask for?

CTC chooses Saint John Airport hill as top destination


The city of the section of the Telegraph Journal had a write up about the airport hill being the provinces best Locals Know spot. The photo submitted was taken by Martin Flewelling. He was able to capture a teen in mid air with ahis sled. What a great shot! Check out the article.

My trip to the City Market!

I love the City Market. It always smells so great! The coffee from Java Moose, Lord's fresh fish, and the Baking Stones sweets all make the contribution to the experience. Today I shot a quick video about the history of the market. It was built 1876 and actually is the oldest continuing farmers market in all of Canada. In 1877, the great fire swepth throughSaint John and left the market untouched? Miracle, I should say. The market also has a really neat feature which I think is so cool. Next time you are there look up at the ceiling. It's shaped like an inverted ship's hull.
