So today, for the last day of the month, I decided to go for a little walk. And I ended up doing more than intended...
But it was SO nice!

So, in chronological order... 
Started in Rabbittown but didn't take a picture until Georgestown. It's a nice little hipster neighbourhood. It was the city's first suburb back in the day.

Then I cut down to Bannerman, which is one of the more well-to-do neighbourhoods in the core.

We do have SOME brick houses. They're rare, but there are a few.

From Bannerman, I cut down to Quidi Vidi - it surrounds Quidi Vidi Lake, hosts the Royal St. John's Regatta, etc. It's a mixed neighbourhood - mostly middle class with some pockets of lower.

Historic Fort William (one of the two main citadel fortresses downtown) has changed a lot over the years.

Still the best bra store name ever. Fight me.

There's a cruise ship in today. Always a humbling reminder of how modest our skyline is.

Crossing out of downtown in the West End/Riverhead neighbourhoods, our most brutalized by development, mainly highways.

We don't have a railway anymore. Canada took it away. (FINE, they gave us highways across the island instead, but MEH.)

Crossing over to the Southside. It's exactly what most city's "Southside"s are.
