Edit: I've replaced the original thread in Cityscapes with this one, and added some more to it. Hope you like it.

wow

pretty awesome, the best pics I've ever ssaw from St. John's.


:okay:

I am posting the rest of the thread here; these are all pics
I took in the fall of 2004, with some additions & info:

St. John's is the easternmost city in North America,
sometimes called the oldest city, with history dating
to the 1600's; it has a Metro population about 180,000.
While the province's population has been in decline
in recent years, St.John's has still shown some
steady growth, especially because of the offshore
oil industry, mostly with new suburban development
in and outside the city. However, the real charm
and uniqeness is in the old downtown, most of which
was rebuilt after the last major fire in 1892.
However, there are still buildings such as the Basilica,
built in 1850, which predate the fire.

From across the harbour, a mixture of old & new.
Atlantic Place, the brick building on the right,
is the largest office building, at around 300,000 sq ft., and
was originally built to support a hotel on top, with a total height of twenty stories.
The three gabled building on top of the hill is not a church,
it's the new Art Gallery-Museum-Archives, called "The Rooms", built in 2004.
