I love Paris, Ontario. I forget whose post about it here was the first I saw, but I want to visit so bad.

Guy Fawkes night tonight. I was going to go, but the flu just won't fuck off.
Bonfires are illegal in St. John's, but in the suburban municipalities, most of which are populated by rural Newfoundlanders, and most of whom are in turn Anglicans, it's a big deal. The main one is in Paradise. A few thousand people attend.
But I had to make do with a quick, cough-choked hike to the superette on Queen's Road.

They got the whole arse tore up out of her down a few from mine.
They use these Cadillac roadblocks everywhere. And I always misread it as Chadillac.
The Belfast doves seem to love it.
I like pretending my neighbourhood looks more like this one. It is, after all, only a couple of blocks downhill.
They even have some Rabbittown-style rowhouses.
But, alas, most of it is far too posh for me budget.
An apartment in that building with the tower is only $4,500/month.
I have friends paying less than that for one in Hamilton, Bermuda.
But walking down there is fun. The sidewalks in the central courtyards of the rowhouse blocks have switchbacks.
I don't understand this at all. It's not like they need the curves to make it wheelchair accessible. It's only a flat stretch between two staircases. WHY spread it out? Why not just have a single staircase going straight down?
