The George Street Mardi Gras - one of the biggest and best nights out in a city famous for always delivering great nightlife.

We had an AWESOME time tonight. Here are some clips in a couple of pubs, the costume contest, the Michael Jackson tribute, and a few scenes of shoulder-to-shoulder downtown St. John's:

The excitement on my street tonight.

I finally figured out a way to secure my cellphone to my the interior of my car. :haha: So this is an untrimmed 43-minute tour of St. John's sped up and condensed into just a few minutes.

I tried to focus on some areas that are never in the postcards, especially Georgestown (begins at 1:56) and the Old West End (begins at 5:32). These are some of the most unique (especially nonsensical street grid, mix of rowhouse styles) neighbourhoods of Old St. John's - but they're quite some distance (by the standards of a city our size) from downtown.

You also get a peek out over the highway. I just scooted out to the first Mount Pearl exit and back.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

That Christmas Parade in St. John´s is nice. I think, you have spent a funny and very cold morning there. ¿Is it being very cold actually is St. John´s?

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.:tup:

It was cold today, yes. 4C and windy. :D

Are there any plans to install a streetcar network in St John's? Did it use to have one in the past?

Yes, we had one in the past. There are no current plans, but it is certainly on almost everyone's wish list. This summer they painted a city bus to look like a streetcar. So we're making slow progress. :haha:

St. John's - November 30, 2013

"Can any Saints hear me?
Is there any Angel near me?
If you won't lift me up, then would you send my love,
Back to my home, back to my only shelter,
Where, in the awful weather,
I will be warm and welcome!"

St. John's is a great place to be rich...

http://www.signalhillhikerphotograph...3_edited-L.jpg

And a great place to be middle class...

But it's not so hot if you're poor...

Tonight was the Festival of Music and Lights in Bowring Park, our equivalent of lighting up the city Christmas tree.
