A tough old bridge…read more I use to think that New England was the covered bridge capital of the world. However I have been educated by my friend Richard R. from Georgia about the multitude of cool covered bridges in his area. Now I've learned that New Brunswick, Canada also likes to think of itself as a center of covered bridges. Makes sense to have covered bridge in New Brunswick since the weather is just so crappy. Covered bridges cost more to build but also last a lot longer. In 1975 New Brunswick was home to 113 covered bridges but by 2009 only 64 remained. Unfortunately most were destroyed by mindless vandalism. The little village of St Martin has two covered bridges and it claims to be the the only place in the world where you can see a covered bridge while standing on a different covered bridge. Not sure if this is true but it sounds pretty cool. The Vaughan Creek Bridge has a strange name because it actually goes over the Irish River. It was built back in 1935 and is 71'6" long. It looks in really good shape and the huge tour buses actually still drive over it. You can indeed see the other covered bridge as well as the lighthouse and cool views of the harbor. This bridge certainly can't compare to the 1,282 foot long Hartland bridge in another part of New Brunswick but it still is very cool. Dark, narrow and smelling like old wood and salt water this is a special bridge that hopefully can survive the mindless idiots and vandals intent on it's destruction.

A library with a…read moremall I've been to a lot of libraries but I've never seen one located in a mall before. Actually it's located in Market Square but it looks like a mall to me. I was surprised to see a huge library right in the middle of all the stores. The library is modern and has some great wifi and lots of computers inside. Things are organized a bit different than I am use to but this is Canada, they do things their own way. This library has probably the coolest entrance of any library I have ever been in. You actually walk in between two huge, fake books. And once inside there are lots of unusual art and displays scattered about. Subtle but definitely cool stuff. As my Yelp friend Robert from Portland, OR, likes to point out, weird can be really tiresome and stupid when it is forced and contrived. But when weird just happens without trying it can be so cool. This library is weird, from the huge books that you walk through at the entrance, to the girl floating by on balloons in the mall at the front of the library. Everything about this library is a bit different. This library is just so weird but in a very, very cool way.

After moving to Calgary, I feel proud to say that my favourite library is the Saint John Free…read morePublic Library. You dont need to pay an annual fee. There is no fee to use the computers. There is no fee to take a class. ITS AWESOME! Its right on the waterfront in the uptown - so easy to get to by either transit or driving. I have easily spent 3 hours just browsing. And more often then not they have a silent auction selling local artists work! Wheather you need to jump on a computer and print your resume or your looking to relax in a comphy chair with the new book you found, this is by far the best library. I would even say - best in canada.

Loyalist past and old world charm abounds in Saint John…read more I enjoyed this cities downtown scene. Loads of British, Irish and other gastropubs ad regular bars are all within easy walking distance. I also like the museums and the city's success in keeping some of its older buildings intact. The area is visited much more often in the summer months. Some cruise ships disembark passengers to raid souvenir shops and imbibe a pint or two at the local drinking taverns. A good choice of decent restaurants as well. Unfortunately, not that many breakfast places open downtown in the winter. I've only been here in Winter so far, yet have no complaints. The scene is still cool and much less crowded. One interesting tidbit is that Benedict Arnold chose to live here after having struck out in his adventures in the USA during the war of independence.
