Very nice Eric, some good pics there. But... just before it starts something, Saint John is actually the largest City in New Brunswick as per the 2006 census by about just under 4000 people. You were not entirely wrong tho, SJ is the second largest CMA but they still hold the title for largest city in the province.

"Chateau Saint John"- a new hotel by Bernard Cyr of "Chateau Moncton" fame. It's supposed to be 7 or 8 floors but at the rate they're going, it'll be well into 2016 before anyone gets to stay there.

Very nice pictures of Saint John. I'm going to have to take the time and do some exploring next time I'm in town. The architecture is very nice, it has some style, it seems Saint John has done a fairly good job at keeping the old style buildings and not let them be removed for "modern" boxes that Moncton has in the past.

Why would I? Im from Quebec. Montreal to be exact, and still spend half my time there. Your just a mess. Has nothing to do with Quebec. Just Moncton and their arrogance.

Is it being built by five guys named "Moe" by any chance?

Very nice pictures Erick! Saint John is such as beautiful city.

Amen to that Helladog, and if you look closely it was actually Erick who started the main Saint John SSP thread in the first place! I think Michael should just lay off.

Great, just great! The tackiness of Château Moncton is coming to Saint John, this thing won't fit into the "built-scape". I saw this in the French paper; L'Acadie Nouvelle. Why can't they keep this kitsch stuff in Moncton? Erick Very nice pictures of SJ BTW, NICE!
