Tourism 101 - part 3 Go crazy with the bragging....

So in Saint John we have Reversing Falls (aka tidal bore), third foggiest city in Canada (probably right), largest land mass of any city in Canada (sorry Calgary but you aren't smart enough to include Cochrane, Okotoks, maybe even Canmore....), and the best of all: the steepest main street in Canada. King Street is on a hill but it isn't particularly steep. I can only figure this claim to fame is just to warn all the older cruise ship passengers to avoid this street to get them into the mall.
We toured the beautiful downtown with buildings constructed after the  devastating 1877 fire. It is still warm (24 degrees today) and the flower beds are gorgeous. The streets teem with passengers flowing off the two huge cruise ships in the harbour. Stores advertise big sales especially for them. One sign: Cruise passengers - we offer 75% off: practically free!! There are indoor spaces which must be a welcome relief from the cruel winter storms and take you from one block to another inside and with the escalators you can avoid that dreaded steepest street!
The oldest library in Canada ( here we go again) is located inside the giant mall which has been built inside the facade of the 19th century buildings - it is a super space and would bring people inside in the winter. We also wandered through the market - Open seven days a week, 52 weeks a year!! Okay, okay. We were glad we visited.
Oh yes, we noticed a sign as we left. Something about a Guiness World Record of marigolds planted in a city - explains the boulevards.....
