Moncton Warnings and Dangers

There's only one transient that seems to be a handful. He squats at a keyboard and bangs out noise while shouting what I believe are obscenties in Patoois. Hard to say. He is tempermental and irratic. Occasionally his outbursts make the newspaper, but I missed the article. I will post a picture. Best to simply leave him alone and try not to stare. He said I could take his picture, but then covered his face.

I once walked through downtown Moncton with a black friend of mine. I've never seen one guy get so many looks in my life. You'd swear this guy was the first black guy the town has ever seen. This one Eminem look-a-like came up to my friend, shook his hand and said "Respect, Whut up mah brotha, welcome to Moncton". The local Moncton Bum even showed his respect by coming over to my buddy and giving him a hug. Be prepared for overwhelming respect if you're a black guy visiting moncton.

Moncton winters are extremely cold, so make sure you dress warmly. It is not entirely unusual for temperatures to drop to about 40 below. Also, Moncton gets a lot of snow, so make sure you have high boots. Blizzards can occur without warning, sometimes as late as May or early June.
