I've lived in Newfoundland for two years now, but I've had to work on Regatta Day both years. I'd really like to go, even just once. I don't love crowds, but I think it's important to check things out for myself before I decide if I won't like it lol Fingers crossed for next year :)

Congrats on the 5 K Mark. It hasn't happen many times but it has happened where someone has come up and recognized me from KZbin and I'm not to the 1 K mark yet LOL, and I can't lie it does feel good , and somewhat rewarding that someone is interested in what I'm doing and they take the time to watch and it did a little enjoyment for them. That's where I am as long as I'm HAVEING FUN with it then I'll keep going along, have a great week my buddy.

I became interested in going to Newfoundland years ago but it was only a few months ago your videos appeared on my KZbin - and they inspired my wife and I to book a flight and visit at last. Best holiday I have ever had. Love your videos and love Newfoundland. Congrats on hitting 5k subscribers! Well deserved. I'll be here to say the same when you hit 10k. Wishing you all the best from the UK.

Hi Mark. We live in Dartmouth Nova Scotia but are from southern Ontario. We left in 2021 and have lived in Charlottetown, Montague, and Summerside in PEI. Three actual moves there. Then we moved to Saint John in New Brunswick. Didn't stay there long and ended up in Dartmouth. We were actually big on St. John's but haven't even been out for a look yet. Many things have transpired that have shown us that we still have yet to find a home, and it's got nothing to do with unfriendliness of people in the east, or the weather. By watching channels like yours and reading everything we can get our hands on...we still feel like St. John's is a distinct possibility for us. She is in healthcare and I am semi-retired. I'd work a solid job if it was something that interested me. Anyways, we know we should come visit before just up and moving to a rental. I say rental cos we would do that for at least a year before buying. I value your channel. I don't know if KZbin is a reasonable way to make your living from. You tell me. Any advice about us moving or trying out St. John's is welcome. You can see my little channel, I tinker but would like to become more serious about it. I lack a focal point and I don't share myself which is probably why I see no growth. I mean I turn 54 tomorrow so I feel insignificant. Get vulnerable or don't right? Whatever you do, my opinion anyways, regarding your channel, don't give up. Cheers bud.

Hands down, our favorite was always "Henry's Lunch" (everyone just called it Henry's) on Merrymeeting Road. Shut down in the mid 90s ish and was highly underrated. Ches's is for tourists; Henry's and Fab Foods was for the locals who want quality f&c.

@@mark_royle_newfoundland Nice!! We've been going to Chaulkers for over 35 years (never once called it Fabulous Foods!), and you can count on one hand the times we got the fish and chips. We were never a fan and stuck to their club and fries, chips deluxe, along with their turkey rolls, turkey pies AND flakies. Their home made flakies are deadly!! Ever have their dressing and gravy? We like it; but its beyond unique (never had it like that before) and it's an acquired taste (but maybe take a pass on their f&c)...Its not up to par with the ones you reviewed in this video (plus its take out, so by the time you get it home...its a bit soggy).

@@mark_royle_newfoundland Lol. I'll assume if that's the case, you've never had their dressing and gravy?? Their dressing is nothing I have ever had before (both in texture, look and taste). We enjoy it, but it's odd the first time you have it. I've brought many people there to get their fries, dressing and gravy, and its hit or miss if people like their dressing. I'd say most don't, but we do! And their chips, dressing and gravy is called "chips deluxe" which also comes with peas!! We skip the peas, so order a "chips, deluxe...no peas - two turkey rolls, and a turkey pie" next time you go and you will be set! Their club and fries (dressing and gravy doesn't come with that...) is amazing. We used to be there weekly (used live close by), but scaled it back to once a month now to try and be more healthy!

Watched this with a couple of people. "What do you even see there? There's literally nothing!" But what's nothing to them is the definition of peace for me... In terms of weather, we're tolerating over 40 celsius on a daily basis. I know that grass is always greener on the other side but when it's cold or raining, at least you can dress up. When its an actual oven outside, there's nothing you can do :(

I have thoroughly enjoyed the past hour. How fortunate are we to live among such beauty! Like you, I grew up adjacent to St. John's and knowing it well. I've heard tourists say, having arrived by ferry to Port Aux Basques, they had spent their time in Newfoundland exploring many smaller towns and communities across the island, enjoying the people and small places, which is a novelty to them. And I get it; it is a wonderful vacation! But then they come to the St. John's area, wanting to go to Cape Spear to say they have visited the most easterly point in Canada (or in North America, excluding Greenland)! If you've come this far east, it makes perfect sense to do that! But they have arrived with only a day or two remaining in their vacation, thinking, "I don't want to see another city. I can see cities anywhere." But having driven through the downtown core and up to Signal Hill, they soon realize that St. John's is not "just another city". It is spectacularly more! Your videos demonstrate that beautifully! Thanks for all of them!

What a great video, Mark. I watched it all last night with my girlfriend (who is new to Canada). The music was super relaxing. The video was perfect. There are no videos like this on KZbin that pertain to Newfoundland that show so many towns and cities. Thank you for your regular contributions, I know it takes a lot of work. Also, we love your family. Good vibes all around. Your dad seems like a tough but gentle, larger than life Newfoundlander. Thanks for all you share brother. Much love and respect.
