    • Favorite Thing: Throughout the downtown core of St. John's you will find lots of colorful townhouses. I really like the ones on the battery.

    In the picture I got a great shot with a seagull in the picture. These houses are in a very peculiar location to say the least!!!

    • Favorite Thing: If you are walking the downtown and pass by Mile One Stadium and the St. John's Convention Centre you will see this monument.

    • Favorite Thing: This view was taken from the lower parking lot of the Pippy Park Golf complex including Captain's Hill course and Admiral's Green.

    You can see in this picture you get a great view of the city, signal hill, the confederation building and the atlantic ocean!

    This is only a couple minutes away in car, a huffing walk I can imagine up hill on foot!

    • St. John's - Me at the NTV news desk.

  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Favorite Thing: In St. John’s there is a local television station called NTV. They have their studios over on Logy Bay Road. It’s a little out of the way. You can tune in there or at CBC generally around 6:00 pm to get the local news. That will give you a feel for the issues in the area while you are there.

    I got to drop by one time and got a quick picture for fun. I am not about to be a news caster anytime soon.

     We visited the Quidi Vidi Brewery in late July 2007. Great hospitality and very good beer. I recommend the Quidi Vidi Honey Brown! Jeff & Pat from Texas    		geoffstirling69 Sun Jun 17, 2007 22:33 UTC
