Summerside, PEI: City Population (2001)-14,654; Census Agglomeration: 16,200

On my way home a couple of weeks ago, I decided to take my girlfriend on an alternate route through PEI, since she had never been there and I remembered very little from when I was there way back when I was too young to appreciate cityscapes of any kind, let alone small towns. We all know how much I like small towns now. ;)

This was a nice little city, about what I expected. Nothing over 4 or 5 storeys that I saw.

I wasn't thinking when I took that shot, I didn't get the actual map where we were in the frame. The main drag of downtown is Water St, and there's a waterfront road called Harbour Dr or something like that.

These first few are from the Harbour Dr side...main entrances are on Water St (ie-these are the "back" of the buildings, but the waterfront side)

Back to Water St
The new form of Downtown Revitalization...instead of corrugated steel, wooden lengths that look like vinyl siding.

Corrugated steel. :bash: With the shadow of the old sign.

That's all from Summerside...next is Charlottetown...then Fredericton for a treat!

Nice shots.
I have lots of family in PEI, therefore I am at Summerside nearly every year. Not a bad place, but I definatley prefer Charlottetown (a really nice city for its size).

I have family in Summerside, it's a pretty nice town for it's size. Nice pictures too.

Thanks for the comments. I liked Summerside, but it's a little to small for me.
