FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: CITY OF SAINT JOHN, CHRISTMAS SPIRIT FOR UPTOWN ONLY, WEST SIDE / NORTH END LOSE

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT! AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE , THIS IS THE BARBER SHOP ON MAIN ST. WEST , ITS THE BUSINESSES AND THE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE ALL THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT NOT THE CITY WORKS DEPT. THE ONLY PLACE ON THE WEST SIDE THAT HAS SPIRIT IS SAINT JOHN ENERGY WHICH PUT UP THEIR DISPLAY TYPICALLY LATE NOVEMBER OR EARLY DECEMBER. IT WAS TYPICAL THAT NORTH END AND WEST SIDE WOULD HAVE THE BELL SHAPED LIGHTS UP IN TIME FOR THE SANTA CLAUS PARADES BUT ALSO TO LAST DURING THE HOLIDAYS. IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL GOOD AS THEY DRIVE OR WALK DOWN THE STREET DURING THE SEASON TO SEE THIS. WITH THE GAS PRICES THE WAY THEY ARE I DON'T GO UPTOWN MUCH UNLESS I HAVE TO AND THE WORK ON HARBOUR BRIDGE HOPEFULLY COMPLETED NOW MAKES IT EVEN HARDER TO JUSTIFY GOING UNLESS FOR BUSINESS. IT IS SAD THAT THESE LIGHTS AND THE NOEL DISPLAY IN LIGHTS OVER THE INTERSECTION AT DELUXE NORTH HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS NOW. SO I SAY TO YOU CITY OF SAINT JOHN, WHERE IS YOUR CHRISTMAS SPIRIT OR ARE YOU SCROOGE. UPTOWN ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIGHTS IT SHOULD BE IN MANY AREAS OF THE CITY! KUDOS BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS OF NORTH END AND WEST SIDE FOR THEIR DISPLAYS INCLUDING ON GAULT ROAD AND DOIRONVILLE ON GREENHEAD ROAD. CITY OF SAINT JOHN COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO!!!!
