This 500-year-old city is one of the oldest in the “New World,” and is the easterly most city in North America. Its roughly 100,000 residents enjoy a mix of big-city luxury and small-town charm. The town is quite walkable and drivable, with lots of great shopping, restaurants, historical sites and more. ❤️👌👍

Not really ST John was founded in the early 1600’s as a city. A lot of people get it mixed up thinking it was in 1497 but it wasn’t established as a city. Now the oldest cities in the new world (before columbina times) are ST Louis Missouri AKA (Cahokia) which was founded around 600 CE during the late woodland period, Also Mexico City (Tenochtitlán) which was founded which was founded in 1325 and Mexico City in 1521. Now the oldest columbina cities are in the south of Florida which were officially founded and cities in the late 1490s/1500s Now the oldest city in Canada is Quebec City circa 1608 making it Canada’s oldest city

One of the best aspects of your channel is that you have got a great rhythm to what you are doing..it makes sense, you keep on going, and people are delighted when they see a place that is relevant or important to them....Kind of like Romper Room when she would say "And I see...(name of person)" but in your case, you shine a spotlight on a different PLACE and raise it up! As in "I see St. Johns, Canada...." :) !!

What about the living cost, dude! The employment rate, the schools, the weather specific conditions of this City?! For a title like this, I was hoping I'd find all these realistic and crucial parameters now that I finally received my ITA through the Extress Entry program and trying to make my decision about the place where I'd settle with my wife in Canada. Tourism sites are cool to know but that's not what builds people's mind about a given city.

Nfld not a Maritime province

@@leonardsheatravelThank you, I like your channel. Yes, my grandfather lived in Boston for the rest of his life. He died at 91 years of age. He tried to enlist into the US army when the US got into WW1, in 1917 but he was rejected for some reason. Maybe because he wasn't a US citizen yet, or maybe because they thought that he was too old, at 31 years old? So he went back to St. Johns and enlisted into the Canadian army and fought in Europe in combat for the remaining year and a half of WW1. After the war he returned to Boston, met my grandmother, had 3 children, the first of whom was my mother, and I was his first grandchild. I had a wonderful relationship with him. He died when I was 23 years old, in 1977.
