  • In episode 175 - we explore the city of St. John's, the largest city in Newfoundland and the easternmost city in North America. Here we take a food tour trying some local dishes, finding the best fish and chips, and exploring the best things to do in the city. We also visit Quidi Vidi, a cute coastal neighborhood of St. John's, visit Signal Hill, and Cape Spear, the easternmost point in all of North America.

    Well, I spent 2 years in Argentia, 63' - 64' , didn't like living in the barracks so I rented a room out in town with a fisherman family. I went totally native. Loved your video's, brought back a lot of memories. You got my attention when you mentioned Dot;s in OC. my wife worked at the Chatter Box and the pancake house before she met me. I went out along the South Coast on the CNN ferries/ mailboats on my 3 days. Met a lot of good people! Still listen to a lot of Newfie music and been Screeched In . I belong to a drum circle here in Lewes and I interduce them to the Newfoundland Ugly Stick! Cap'n Rick, Port of Lewes, Delaware

    God Bless Wyatt! Can’t help smiling every time I see him! We did our East Coast road trip from Toronto in August 2022 visiting many of the spots you hit. St. John’s is my wife’s hometown and her first time back in 30 years. If you’re ever back in St. John’s, there’s a great hike from the top of Signal Hill to The Battery with great views of the harbour. Lots of blueberries on the way. Safe Travels!

    Love it! Glad you enjoyed St. John's, my wife and I were there that same week and flew out Sunday afternoon, managed to snap a picture of the same Cruise ship from the airplane. So happy the weather worked out for you, we were there for 3 weeks in June and it was cold and foggy every day! So many other things I could recommend for the surrounding area.... Petty Harbour, Bay Bulls, Ferryland to name a few! Hope you get to visit the Bonavista area and Gros Morne National Park! Happy travels!!

    The name Signal Hill far predates Marconi’s wireless experiment. As merchant ships approached the coast, a flag representing the merchant would be flown on the top of the hill, allowing the longshoremen to gather at the wharves to unload, and reload the ships. Since these employees would be scattered across the town, this allowed the quickest management of incoming goods.

      @@dilemma958 Yea because a city with the head branches of every big business in the province is small. With giant ships in the harbour. Who cares where you've been. Know where you're at. Whats the point of traveling if your macro knowledge is zero by the end. Imagine finishing school but you cant do basic math. That's what this is, but I guess that has gone right over your head too.
