Ok, Here goes. If you could bring one thing to downtown St. John's what would it be? One service or retail or feature anything. What would you most like to see added to downtown?
More bars and night clubs.
Oh wait...
Honestly... a grocery store. I don't live downtown, but I'd love to. And I'd also love to be able to walk and grab groceries. Seems you have to drive out of the downtown to do it.
Belbins sort of counts I suppose, but its off the beaten path.
The specialty beer store, library and grocery store are all excellent suggestions.
I can live without B.K though, I can't deal with the grease, although there is this one place in Gros Morne called the chicken coup, that does a mean grease-ball burger.
I'll add a movie theatre to the mix to keep the conversation going, seems like a good addition to me.
So.. getting back to the topic of off-topicness, what are you guys' favorite leisure activities/hobbies? Like, what would you do to pass time on a boring sunday afternoon?
For me it's playing the piano. I have ever since I was four years old and I'm sure I've played every day since!.. I can spend hours sitting and playing or just fooling around.. Anyone who knows me well knows that's a big part of what makes me, me! haha, What about you guys??
EDIT: Oh, RE: Copes - I play some video games too. League of Legends, Skyrim, etc.
In terms of outdoor stuff... I like hiking most. I LOVE swimming but don't get to do it as often as I'd like because I hate chlorine so we usually only drive out to LeManche on the weekends.

( and no, drinking does not count xD )
I read a lot. I play a pile of video games. I follow an absurd number of TV shows. I spend a lot of time just chilling with the boys, whether its playing music, beerpong, video games or what have you. I'm a huge soccer fan. I spend my summers golfing and my winters snowboarding.

That about sums it up.
Other than changing dirty diapers (7 week old at home) - I try to get a couple of swims in a week and a bit of weightlifting. I also try to get a couple hours of video gaming; I'm currently playing Black Ops II.

Dude, I play League almost nightly. Let's get some going sometime. There's about 7 of us that play pretty regularly and tend to be able to field a full team. We're awful, but its fun. Let's lose together soon.
I've been focusing mid... I'm pretty confident with Kennen, Morganna, Kat, Mordekaiser. I can also support with Taric / Alistar / Soraka. Are you level 30?

How I spend my free time is really season-dependent. In the summer I'm almost always hanging out at a lake or having fires in back yards. Hiking up to some waterfalls, fishing/crabbing/prawning out at the coast. Pretty outdoorsy.
I do get into gaming in the summer too. I can never find time during the school year, so I go hard sometimes from May-August. On PC it's RTS and city-building games (looking forward to the new SC, also play Tropico, and I get into old ones on occasion too (1503 AD, AoE II, Rise of Nations, Act of War, etc.). I also have a 360 and play a variety of games on that (my friends and I always had system link Halo parties in high school (I even had a cable run through our wall from the living room to the basement TV so teams were on different floors and could strategize). I play way too many sports games. I had most of EA's 2011 games (NHL, Madden, NBA, NCAA football and basketball) but they were stolen. Two faves are NHL and NCAA football. Other games include Assassin's Creed, Blur, Top Spin...
Photography is a huge passion, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get out much this school year. I'm hoping to take more photos as we come into the spring.
Others: TV shows on DVD (I do marathons right), board games (just bought Catan yesterday), cooking (I love getting creative and often watch Eat St, You Gotta Eat Here, and Triple D for inspiration.

Well, if you're awful too... that'd be great. Warning, I pretty much only do Fiddlesticks or Miss Fortune.
