A little walk in the fog tonight...

Some of the faux-heritage rowhouses look like this in the back. The middle floor with the large windows is ground floor on the front.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Park. Which is really just a median between Queen and Gower. Explains the history of the oldest police force in North America.
Water near McMurdo's Lane. It's the narrow space between the two blocks. That lane has two the city's most popular bars - the Duke, one of the only authentic English pubs (as opposed to Irish) in the city, and Velvet, a gay bar. The Duke is one of my favourite hangouts. There aren't many places left in St. John's where you're just as likely to see a 70-year-old woman with a pint of Guinness knitting and watching rugby as you are to see a young crowd.
Down at Harbourside Park, below the fog. I heard a British couple fighting about the weather. "You're the one who wanted to go in April!!!", etc.
The National War Memorial. This lane has a few of the city's trendiest/hipster-iest hangouts - cafes, clothing shops, sushi, etc. I wish I'd had my actual camera. That girl was wearing the highest heels I've ever seen on a non-drag queen.
Coffee Matters was standing room only. A lot of streets come together in this general area... *deep breath*

Collectively known as Cavendish Square. Years ago, when it was mainly pedestrian, it was called The Mall.
Home sweet home.
