Damn, that's a fine-looking street right there.

I hope it's not damning with faint praise to say that if Saint John were ten times larger population-wise, and the built-up area represented by this photo filled the downtown peninsula entirely and spilled well into the region north of said peninsula, as well as occupying much of the peninsula to the west ("West Side Docks"?), well, then...I think I'd be living there.

I'm hoping to do a car trip to the Maritimes one of these summers, and Saint John is definitely one of the more compelling destinations on the list.

we need to see more of Victoria on here.


For St. John, I have family in the suburbs (Rothesay), and as a kid we would always just drive right by downtown on the highway and ignore it. Growing up I always thought of St John as an ugly industrial city, having only seen the pulp mills and oil refineries scattered around the town from the highway, only stopping when we got to the exurban hellscape that was Rothesay in the 1990's and early 2000's. I didn't actually get to see the downtown and its beauty until I visited under my "own power", and actually stopped by.. and that was a surprise. My opinion of the city shot up probably around 10x. Rothesay has really improved itself recently, too, though its still quite suburban. I'm amazed there isn't more demand for people to live in the downtown, the architecture is so great, especially when compared to the rest of the city which is so industrial. Its by far the prettiest part of the city, despite it being quite run down.

/\ ok, I'll help out.

And a different take for now, how about coming into Victoria.. Here's a few views as you come over the Malahat (352 meters elevation - about 25 minutes from the city) from the north of the island.

I love Victoria. Such a beautiful city, and it gets about 66% less rain than Vancouver.

Damn it, Hamilton, you are such a let down. Because you'd be so freakin' awesome if you had blocks and blocks of this kind of urban fabric forming entire neighbourhoods. But you don't.

Instead, you're a city of detached single-family homes with front yards. The unbroken street walls of your commercial streets can be counted on one hand. You're run down, but not in a redeemable way. Urbanistically speaking, anyway.

In short: you're no Brooklyn. Hell, you're not even Cincinnati:
