Saint John Is The BEST City In NEW BRUNSWICK! 

Saint John is hot right now! What do you think about the future of the city?

As someone that just moved here late last year I can say it is the perfect spot for me. I have lived in Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver (for a short time) and I can say Saint John is by far my favourite. If you enjoy the outdoors there is so much to do and you don't have the insane traffic as the other cities.

I’d say you moved here at the perfect time. Over the past couple of years, Saint John has been encountering a renaissance of nightlife, events and culture. Amazing people in the city are driving this change like Ray Gracewood from AREA 506, our MP Wayne Long who has brought in so much federal funding for developments like Fundy Quay, and many others. The buzz going on in Ontario and Quebec about moving to the maritimes is justified, and Saint John is really capitalizing on that opportunity. Saint John will experience growing pains during this time, like a lack of bike parking, people who don’t like change, and increased housing costs. I believe the best thing for Saint John right now is to grow our density as a city and have that population needed to sustain this level of growth and desire for more. I feel like we’re really making a name for ourselves as a city, and I’m loving every minute of it. I think your channel is fantastic because you are showing the world what Saint John is like. Keep doing what you’re doing! Saint John loves you!

This is the best video about SJ I've seen so far. I'll be moving to SJ next year for study time and it's nice to see meaningful portraits of the city. Thank you!

Thank you for your videos & for giving us your insight-Moving out to Saint John from Downtown Toronto with my husband and our 1 year old in a month! We Look forward to exploring this beautiful city!

Congrats Sea Dogs!!! Looks like you had a ton of FUN!!! 👍👍👍

another great video, I always enjoy. Keep diggin' SJ and keep the videos coming.

Didn’t know you played on the Rock! I loved watching you guys play the in St. Stephen against the Irishmen because it was some of the most physical games we have seen in forever

Hey Jordan, awesome video as usual, so nice to see you attend 'Wasteland' with your little girl. Jim and our daughter, Liz, attended that show as well. Go Kyle! So happy to hear you and your family are loving Saint John, especially east, our neighbourhood as well as yours! Keep up the great work with your videos! Jim agrees, get the bike locks uptown Saint John!

I moved away from Saint John back in February to Alberta after being there for the last 20 years. I miss it everyday. Watching the memorial cup and your videos really makes me want to come back . I love seeing the city come together. Over the years living in SJ there always seemed to be this negativity about how it's a poor city and it's this and it's that but until you actually leave and look at it from a different perspective I feel like you don't know what you had there until your gone . Keep up the great work , love your videos and I love Saint John , cheers .

Kyle Go is incredible! An artist actively changing our world. And may the city please heed your call: we need bike racks! Thanks a lot for sharing your video Jordan🙏🏼

Love❤this!! I'm from here work uptown. I've been missing events. haven't even seen container village yet. Time to start exploring my own backyard again. Beautiful video of our awesome city. #saintjohn

Glad to see you found your home Owens Tribe. 👍😊

Wow the city looks great! Hi from West Yorkshire in England! Really enjoying your videos, its so great to see you talking to the real people who live there, it really brings the place to life from all the way over here! Currently binge watching your videos!

I lived in Saint John for two years while going to college and although I am a country girl at heart, Saint John will always be my favourite spot to go back to and I will never shy away from saying that it’s my favourite New Brunswick city.

Saint John has a lot of great culture and beauty to offer. The issue with the city 10-20 years ago was people didn’t feel safe walking in certain areas of the South and North ends. The issue today is gentrification, and watching the people and families who’ve lived in the city for many generations being pushed further and further away from the uptown area to find affordable rent. A good half of the uptown multi-unit residences are now owned by people who do not live in the city, and often not even the province.

Omg thanks so much for this videos Owens!,, you reaffirm my biggest dream to come true. Hopefully in the next couple of years (after finishing university in México) going as an international student in S.J and then try to obtain PR to live there, it’s my dreamed lifestyle 😭❤️

Thank you

Amazing 👍👍

Saint Awesome 🥰

I can't speak to the city's future, but compared with the past, there appears to be much more diversity and, as one of your interviewees said more hunger. It's great to see the city and the people making such strides. I'm sure you hear it a lot, but great work on your channel.

Yes, thank you ... BIKE RACKS! Did you know that not even the Field House offers bike racks?

I live in Fredericton and Saint John has grown so much it used to be the butt of the jokes now I actually want to visit it and explore what it has to offer where as I used to only go for the pool in Brunswick Square

Hi. Nice video. We are a couple originally from around Cambridge, Ontario who moved to PEI in early 2021, now considering a more permanent move somewhere on the mainland. Considering Saint John, Halifax, and Moncton. I know your advice would lean Saint John, wifey is an RN and Halifax and Moncton would have more jobs I suspect. Employment not the only consideration.

We moved here 11 years ago and never looked back :)

They aren't plentiful, but there are multiple bike racks in Uptown Saint John on King, Prince William, Germain, Princess, etc.

As Saint John for 50 years. Have you been uptown.. yesterday Charlotte street stores all boarded up. Sketch people everywhere drinking alcohol, picking up cigarette butts, city market 1/3 empty. King Street discrace. Empty hole at head of King Street for over a year.. nothing. Felt like I was in Russia. Embarassing.

Lol Dance guy in the video that guy been dancin for years..and i see u ran into another familiar face on king street. The guy that flexed.. I bet he did his representation of a ninja flip didnt he? Thats freddy

I'm I construction I'm a painter for Twenty some yrs and it is booming here now lots of work and I think st Joe's hospital might have bike hookup there could be wrong lol

Saint John is now cooler than I thought, it once wasn’t that good down there

“Mayor are you listening”? Accessibility for PWD is a major issue besides lack of bike racks. Love your channel, but you should rent a wheelchair for a week, and see how many buildings you’d be excluded from- including the “brand new” container village.

I love at John, ppl are human not like Toronto ppl.

I have to disagree i find SJ rather depressing, i much prefer moncton and freddy

saint john is def nicer then moncton/rectum

Good point talking about biking in the city, how bike friendly would you rate St John ? Beside no bike racks 🫤 . I live in Vancouver and bike is my only mean of transportation , i just love biking all the time everywhere, I wonder if St John would be a good fit for me then . Cheers and thank you for your work !
