Quite a diverse one at that, MonctonRad.
So we've got a chef, at least a couple students, a physician, property developer... all able to provide their unique perspective and expertise on the topics of the day.

Welcome, MarcHabsFan!

Welcome, MarcHabsFan!

Some small news from the Graphics field.

I just saw the Papa John menus and heard they were printing today. With similar prices and the location, it will definitely rival Vito's. I see the building is coming along as well!

Sorry, David99. I forgot you were a graphic artist.

There has to be at least a dozen other occasional posters to the Moncton thread that we don't know the occupations of.

Maybe this would make a good poll for the Maritime section.

Papa John's is going right across from "Silver Rose" flower shop on Mountain Road, right beside the bike shop in the old Needs convenience store...sigh, and two blocks from my house (this trying to eat better is going right down the toilet).

January building permits best since 2005
Published Wednesday February 4th, 2009
Times & Transcript Staff

Moncton's construction season is off to a solid start, posting its best January building permit figures since 2005, according to figures released by the City of Moncton yesterday. The $2.6 million worth of construction is fourth highest January figure of the past decade.

As might be expected in the most frozen month of the year, the bulk of activity was not home construction, but rather industrial and institutional construction.

Interior renovations were also a significant part of the activity in this weather. The biggest project by far was a $1.2 million renovation at the Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital, while repairs to the fire-damaged Night Magic nightclub also accounted for a large permit, worth $200,000.

The Molson Brewery also took out a $75,000 permit to build a 460 square metre (1,500 sq. foot) addition.

Personal note - This article doesn't signify very much - I mean, we're only talking about $2.6M in permits which is only a drop in the bucket when it comes to the overall permits issued in any one year but at least the headline looks good.

The new St. Hubert's restaurant in the power centre district will finally be opening early next week. It will include a bar area and a drive thru, neither of which was present in the original location.

The building looks fantastic. I'll try and remind myself to charge up my D50 and perhaps take a few photos this weekend.

Here's a render of the new condos, designed by Architect2000, being built in the "Mountain Woods " development. These will back onto the Magnetic Hill golf course fairways.

Here is a map of the subdivision from the Hart Realty website. See "Gorge Road subdividion" on Myles's Map.

mmmatt · #**4038** Posted **Feb 6, 2009, 12:08 AM**

^ Wow! thats a fairly sizable development, thanks for the renders.

I'd like to see stuff like that going up on the "vision lands" within the next 10 years, need to get that blank spot filled in haha.

Here's a few of my pics from the Moncton Air Show in 2007.

Thanks for the update, Riverviewer!
Great shots, Budyser! I'm really hoping the air show comes back to town in the next year or two.
