Atlantic, I lived in the Janeway Apts BEFORE Virginia Park was around, Then Ross Rd (Pleasantville), then Snow's Lane (Logy Bay Rd) while it was still wilderness, then out Thorburn Rd about 3 Kms from the Mall.
And that was while still with the parents! After leaving home I did the usual "moving around all over" bit...don't remember most of the street names, and probably couldn't find them now
After dropping Uni (Memorial) and before getting the OK to train in what I do now, I worked at the LFS in the Avalon Mall, then helped to build the one in the Village Shopping Centre...I don't think that one's even around any more? When I was there for the 20th High School Reunion in 2000 (PWC), I didn't even get to the Malls..was FAR too busy visiting all the old friends!
Man, things sure have changed, but not really changed at all, in the ways that count.....was VERY hard to leave again

Ahhh Atlantic...I doubt we've run across each other...I've been in Ontario since Dec '86...and yeah I know the big development out Torbay Rd....a little zig and zag and that's Snow's Lane....
I tell ya I was freaked out totally when I went back in 2000 for the first time.....I mean....there was our house, the powerstation, and then nothing but woods!. LOL and there was the Star of LogyBay fish'n'chips......almost as good as the OLD Ches's in Military Rd....first thing I did was go to Ches's, have FnC with dressing and gravy and a cold Old Stock.....WOW~!
Oh and the last place I lived was Farrell Drive...4 boa constrictors, 3 red dobermanns, and mice and rats in cages for the snakes...nope, WE never had a problem in that neighbourhood!
I've heard that there's a good LFS on Topsail Rd, just before the overpass.....just one guy who knows his fish....you ever hear of it or been there?
