And I agree as well.

I don't want EVERY VIEW, I just want at least one... one view of old St. John's, sea to steeple... from sea level.

That has gone on far to long here, and it's time development catches up!
Another thing that really bugs the crap outta me is when people say but if you build such and such....no one will take pictures of my pretty home anymore and ROD would be able to have it in their show.

Also, lets both make out with Marty McFly and make this thread really awkward. When he was moving to PEI, I sent a drunken FB friend request to someone I thought was him... but then I realized after... wait, I have no idea who he is... so who the fuck did I just FB message? And ask if his GF was going to PEI too? Whut? lol

Yupp! For comparison purposes, Saint John hit 400 pages today. A week ago, they were at 394- An increase of 6 pages.

Moncton is at 532 (half of which is monctonrad xD ) A week ago, they were at... 531. An increase of 1 page. (really only a half a page, but we'll count it anyway.) I declare that thread dead.

St. John's on the other hand, is only at 322. A week ago we were at..... 304! An increase of 18 pages!

I'm glad we have exciting things to talk about, and yes chris, many of us are probably just bored

But at this rate we'll hopefully pass the other city project threads soon! (not taking into account all of our other threads like the east end/transportation/fortis/351 threads)

I know it's not a competition, but I love making things a competition! And as we say, the more the merrier! Lurkers, feel free to sign up and get involved here! It would be great to have more people

You are just adorable. I hate kids - they're just... bastard, mutant adults you have to act weird around - and I want to adopt one just in the hope it turns out like you.

EDIT: Also, just so YOU KNOW... I picture you as Abed from Community.

Hahahahaha, that is not too far from accurate sometimes! Except, shocker, I'm not gay

I don`t mind little kids for short amounts of time, but I get tired of them very quickly!
