On Moving...

Things I Will Miss About St. John’s

• The magnificent view from the top of Signal Hill


• Beer in my corner store, Funkman & Frogs


• Trinity Pub


• The Ship Inn


• Nautical Nellies


• India Beer (like I’m taking about 300 cases back to Ontario)


• Did I mention the view from Signal Hill?


• Cool old architecture


• Rupert and Jericho (even though they are my cats, this will be the last time I will live with them.)


• Memorial University (strange as it sounds)


• Being in the QEII @ MUN (especially the reading room on the 4th floor at the long tables looking over the edge)


• The Harbour (The Newfoundlanders haven’t felt any need to “reclaim” their waterfront like so many other cities have. These people understand the need for a wharf!)


• all the artists, and assorted cool folk who live here. Did I mention that I almost creamed some clown on a unicycle juggling batons who was coming down the Signal Hill Road as I was coming up?

• The delay to get mail from the mainland


• Being a CFA


• Memorial University
