The only acceptable suburb to me in St. John's is Georgestown. It was the city's first planned suburb, built in the late 1800s. But it's practically downtown now, the city has grown so much since.



For most people, Churchill Park is an acceptable suburb. It was built from 1945-50. It was the first example in what is now Canada (we were still a separate country when this was built) of many of the things today associated with suburbia. Today, it's most well-known for its corner windows.
