Quispamsis and Rothesay NB, Waterfront drive along beautiful Kennebecasis River

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Saw a small peek of my mom's old house off Shipyard Road in Rothesay. I'm born and raised, still living in Rothesay. We fortunately still have well water. We have had a few families from Ontario move into our neighborhood. It has made me take a second look at our home town, and SJ too, of just how much we really do need to appreciate where we live. I'm like you too, that I appreciate how much the Bay of Fundy regulates the temperatures. Thanks for all you are doing to provide such detailed tours of our area and surrounding towns.

[@CanadaFree.6014]

p.s. That's not a restaurant and lounge at the Rothesay Yacht Club. Strictly for members only unfortunately. It would be a wonderful place for a river side restaurant thought.

Thank you, Sharon. Very well said!

Fantastic video . i love your posts. I moved to Saint John 2 yrs ago . we are right beside your film location , we're on Drury Cove . this town is the best ever . were on the water and have the boat moored 40 meters in front of the house .... and still 10 min from Costco and all the banks and stores . this is the best ever here :) ..... and the most beautiful place I have ever lived at.

Living the dream, good for you and thanks for the kind words.

Grew up in Gondola Point. Such a beautiful place.....so many childhood memories.

[@smiling_eyes7903]

I think Saint John/NB Tourism should sponsor your videos as ambassadors for the the city/province. Just saying! 🤔🙂

[@WeLoveSaintJohn]

Thanks, but that will never happen. There's many more trendy and talented people than us making videos now about the local area.

[@smiling_eyes7903]

I've seen those trendy & so called talented videos but I have always believed that what comes from the heart wins in the end. Your videos ARE from the heart Les & Wendy... In the end that counts for a lot! 😊❤️

@@smiling_eyes7903 Thank you!

[@jenjennl846]

Yes. During this entire video I though the Chamber of Commerce or City of SJ should be sponsoring these video. Your enthusiasm for Saint John and surrounding areas is wonderful. Great job.😊

We move to Quispamsis in 20 days! I'm still in shock that this is actually going to be my new home. It's just so stunning.

[@WeLoveSaintJohn]

Congratulations on your move. There is never-ending natural beauty throughout this area, and we too have trouble believing we get to live here, and so affordably.

[@stevebrien1041]

Hope all the new arrivals enjoy NB. Would be interesting to hear their perspective

[@WeLoveSaintJohn]

Two of our subscribers have moved here already with many more arriving over the summer. The two that are here have both told us they are blown away by the beauty and weather and have made a point of saying, "We love Saint John!"

Hello Les & Wendy, I am not sure how many people watch your video from Africa, but I am watching it from Zambia in Southern Africa. We intend to come to NB very soon as our relatives are there in Moncton. This video of Rothesay has compelled me to think again on my plans to settle down in Moncton. :-) Awesome. Thank you very much for taking us around on your drives! Keep up the great work! I subscribed as you had mentioned 80% of your viewers have not subscribed. So mentioning that at times, could help to get some more subscribers.

[@WeLoveSaintJohn]

Thank you so much for subscribing! We do have a subscriber from Zimbabwe and one from Nigeria that I know of which we find amazing, so thank you for joining us. With all due respect to Moncton, the Saint John area is much nicer in my opinion, so come and check it out for yourself.

[@Williams_Obazee]

Yeah, You right Les and Wendy I am one of the Nigerians watching, maybe the only one not sure🙄, I have watched all of your videos. My wife and I always look forward to new videos sometimes I watch them again it just keeps our dream of moving to Ca. alive, kind of motivational. I do love you guys, it feels I have known you guys for a long time. We love Saint John!💞

Over on the Island the cliff is called Ministers Face. Apparently you can see a face in it. The river right below the face is almost 200ft deep. Cheers

Thank you for adding that information. We love it when our local experts can add detail to what we see.

This is a lovely place. I remember Queenstown, New Zealand. The Wakatipu lake region is remarkable (indeed they also have a mountain called Remarkable). I made a joke! =)

[@markvolstad9380]

When we first moved to Saint John in the 70s, my parents rented a house on Kane Rd, which is directly ahead and to the right of where this video begins. In the winter we used to snowmobile on the frozen river. I was in the first graduating class at KVHS in 1976. This area was known as Gondola Point back then. Btw, the correct pronunciation in this context is not the expected GON-do-la; it is gon-DOE-la, with the accent on the second syllable. Now you know. :-)

[@WeLoveSaintJohn]

I still can't grasp the accent on the SIS in Quispamsis.

Have you done the world's longest covered bridge yet ? I have pictures of my parents there in 1952 on their honeymoon , so my wife and I went there 3 years ago and did the same , we stopped in the middle of the bridge and kissed , then posed for a picture that matched my parent's picture , what a great memory , and then of course , we're stupid tourists , so we went to gravity hill too LOL

You may not know the answer to these questions one thing I've noticed a high number of vacant houses for sale. The other question is the brain disease they don't know what's causing it have you heard anything about that.

[@WeLoveSaintJohn]

Vacant houses are most likely former rentals our multi family homes. There were many years where more people moved out than into New Brunswick. The brain disease is a mystery to everyone but has not affected anyone in this area. It's been concentrated around Moncton and Miramichi in the east of the province.
