I totally agree with you. I didn't word that very well to my discredit. Around Tulane, Carrolton especially. It's been a while, I really need to go back there and visit again.

Here's some corners of St John's I found interesting exploring on foot.

In order to access this city not by plane, you'd have a 30 hour drive plus ferry from Quebec City. You'd have to have a real sense of purpose to want to see this place, or have business there. I agree with you, I would rank this as the most isolated in place in what I would deem to be population centers in Canada.

That's incorrect. The ferries runs from North Sydney, Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island to two places in Newfoundland. One of them is Argentia which is the closest to St. John's.

Quebec City over New Orleans. I haven't been in the Old World parts of Montreal, nor at all in the other cities.

Yeah for most, Newfoundland is flyover country and just a big cold hunk of rock up in the North Atlantic. But for old world cities in English Canada, St John's is most qualified.

The show Come From Away shows that Newfoundlanders are amazing people.

That's why you don't visit them in the Summer. Late Fall/Early Spring would be ideal.
