Strolling down Water Street doing some window shopping, enjoying the thriving live local music scene, dining out or just passing through. To the casual eye, St. John s might seem like a city rich in history, ebbing and flowing with the economic tide, but continuing. Alive and growing.
One might never suspect that a mere 30 years ago, this bustling metropolis was reduced to a crater of smoke, mud, and irradiated ash.

St. John Bosco elementary students recently took a little field trip that might have a big impact on their neighbourhood.

It s a Monday afternoon in St. John s, and the Tim Hortons-Orange Store at 694 Water St. is abuzz with hurried commuters seeking fuel for the work day.
With assembly line rhythm, the sedans, trucks and jeeps spill forth from the four-lane thoroughfare, snaking into the drive-thru and jockeying towards the pumps. Here, amidst the hum of idling engines, revving motors and rubber tires peeling off asphalt, the strumming of a six-string guitar stands out.

ST. JOHN S, N.L. - In the deli case at Chinched, a popular restaurant and charcuterie shop in downtown St. Johnâs, the house-made bologna sits on a shelf above the carefully cured salamis and sausages, larger in diameter and unmistakably pink. Make bologna beautiful again is the restaurantâs unofficial slogan for the meat, which owner Michelle LeBlanc says is one of our most popular items, hands down.
