Signs of the Times
Korab joins Team Furey. A slipway ties the whole community together. An apartment building downtown. A tale of two experiences from two city parks.

Latest in Let’s Get Municipal
St. John’s women of influence
Awards, birthdays, marriages, and retirements are celebrated as two distant food trucks duel for the night in the parking lots of old establishments history forgot
Holidaying on Indigenous land
June Day is renamed no thanks to Tom Davis. A questionable debate about parking relief. Minor sport, major expense. Trash is a symptom of a bigger problem.
The litter, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
Land uses near landfills. Home businesses are trending. Market Family moves ahead. Sheila’s Brush abides. A private clinic...with MRI.
Be there with balaclavas on
Safe workplaces. Clean streets. Rising bakeries. A promising new apartment building. Development regulations relax. New meets old on Monkstown Road.
The puck stops here
The Growlers are iced out. Development is on Fire. Volunteers are celebrated. Neurodiversity is embraced, and so is mixed-use. Poetry is shared. O’Leary Avenue gets artsy.
‘One of the nicest areas in the west end’
Hazelwood rezoning is axed. Sheffield Estates is safe for now. Tom Davis gets sworn in. Truth and reconciliation is formalized, and density increases, one micro unit at a time.
Unwelcome to the neighborhood
Building safer communities. Inertia when a motion dies. A nordic spa, maybe. Child care and dog hair. Ward 4 by-election. Hickman is a poet and he knows it.
Our snow days are numbered
Last week’s snow lingers on. The poet laureate visits. A new mid-rise on Harvey Rd. A take-out-dream deferred on Hamilton Ave. Keeping St. Clare’s close.
A shared sense of snow
Remembering Snowmageddon. A desire for daycares. The importance of diverse housing types. New standards for old churches. Getting serious about harm reduction.
