Newfoundland seems to have real blue skies 💙

In the corner behind the blue piano the old bubble helicopter i spent hrs playing that thing it was red back then , my dad was a air traffic controller back in the day at this air port guessing 1968 - 1975 i was probably around 8-11 yrs old wow never thought id ever see that thing again if my memory serves me correct there were little green trees you had to avoid hitting it was all made of metal pretty sckookem belt actually know that i think about it . Dad use to take me up in the tower i remember the metal tight round stair case that led up to the tower where i would sit and watch vodoes , concord and many air shows [front row seat] even talked to the odd pilot , yes the escalator stairs looks the same wow thank you for the child hood memories .

We're to pretty to be OLD LOL, Another great one my buddy , hope you have an awesome weekend

VERY interesting that the city burned to the ground a few times in the 1800s. Apparently that is a pretty common trend with old North American cities in that time period. I highly recommend a channel called “my lunch break” to learn more.

You may not be oldest, but you are one of the best cities!! Loved my visit there.

Here's a better marketing campaign: "Welcome to sensational St John's! Sometimes it rains for a month or two." 🫡

I’m from Saint John NB, which is established as Canada’s oldest incorporated city. This is the first time I have ever heard of such claims about St. John’s. I wonder if it’s just a hopeful tale that’s not actually making it to anyone’s attention beyond the borders of Newfoundland? Kind of like how Saint John claims to be famous around the world for its “Reversing Falls” rapids, which in reality no one from outside the city has ever even heard of, haha.

In my eyes the entire earth is the same age so to me it doesn't matter. Live for today and be blessed for living in the most unique land on earth.

Your argument is well made and on point. No shame in a little excessive pride, even though it is a bit of a fib. Wink! Be well and stay safe

St John's Newfoundland is not. Not the oldest city in North America. It's not

Well, this news to me and I am sure you have done your homework on this so I take it for what you say............a little more on dates and where is the oldest city and such would be nice to know........another great one Mark........

Amazing woman from an amazing place! Will go there when I make it to amazing Newfoundland! You can’t touch the people and the place for cool but they will definitely touch you!

Someone finally broke the story. Now, look what you've done, Mark ! (🤣) This is a twist in our history, stories, truths & untruths. No matter if St. John's is the oldest or not, this video is well produced with professional editing. Mark, you sure know how to stir up a conversation. Great work, my son.

your camera work is amazing

New Finland, because of the Vikings being there first (except for the First Nations who were really first)

St. John's and NL are lovely, and don't need any lies to enhance their charm.

St. John's has a Strawberry Marsh Road!

You explained your findings but not when it was actually founded. 😢

Rare to see Newfoundlanders calling out their own. Pandora's box all day.

Quebec?

Irishman here who spent 6months in Newfoundland in 2017!! Can't wait to go back, have got great memories of the place.. keep the videos coming ❤

We're lucky🌈🌈There's no place in the world like Newfoundland ❤️🧿

I wonder how much better off St John’s would be today if it had joined the US instead of Canada in 1949?

I'm a townie and St. John's isn't even the oldest community in Newfoundland.

Anyone could learn a lot from your videos, Mark! Love it when you bring up these little things that we hardly ever question😊. Yes, we had people living here thousands of years ago and yes, we were discovered centuries ago by European fishermen….lots there to be proud of! Just thinking about it can keep me busy for hours, even without any certifications like oldest city or most easterly point! Thanks Again, Always enjoy!👍🏻

St. John's is a fantastic city. I suggest anyone in my circle of friends/acquaintances that haven't been there to put it on their lists. Spend a few days, rent a car, travel the province for as long as you can

I love, love, love how you show your love for this beautiful place . I just can’t wait for 2025 to come back .

Thanks from a Newfoundlander in NC

😂😂😂 We tells lots of fibs! It's part of the charm.

Thank you for the history lesson. I had not heard that particular lie myself and would have known it as such just from remembering a few basics from school. More than ever, thanks to your lesson, I want to visit your home.

Love seeing our beautiful City ❤

Hey Mark, Mr. Garry here with your 101 View, 28 LIKE and your 5th Comment! I would love to see a NEW major city on the Avalon and it should be called the City of Avalon.

I don’t have time to watch father full video but did you mention gfw?

Thanks for watching! If you wanna watch another fun little video about another St. John's quirk, try this one 👉🏼 ua-cam.com/video/-Iv5zBk6fbI/v-deo.html

Mark, you talk about your city, your province with your ❤. Thanks for this video. I'm sure I'll be amazed about NFL next May. Take care of you, Anne

Yup. Or that Cape Spear is the most easterly point in North America. It's the most easterly point in Canada. But Greenland is also part of North America, and it's most easterly point, Nordostrundingen, is obviously significantly further east than Cape Spear.

Thank you 🙏😊

I ❤Newfound land.

I appreciate you keeping it real. Pragmatism requires paying attention to the gray storm clouds & not just the silver lining.

Love the videos Mark, takes me back every time.

@13:55 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve heard. Straight out of a Newfie 🤣

I spent over a week in Newfoundland exactly 1 year ago on my cross Canada road trip. I think about Newfoundland almost every day... Thanks for keeping up on the content Mark! It's a good fix for those of us who wish we were back on The Rock.

Newfoundland would loose it's charm if a bridge was built. By the way, those fries in the Roadhouse look like they are 4 days old. How were they?

Mark Royal legendary story teller........Good job buddy......

Good stuff Mark...thanks for all your videos...I really enjoy them..

Really enjoyed this video Mark!! If you still need requests for video content, maybe a top 5 or top 10 Newfoundland town list for those considering a move from another Province?

This wasn't a typical "road trip" video, but we visited each town on this video along the way over a 10 day period in September 2024. I hope you enjoyed it!

really great video

I think this is my favorite video yet brother... But I also think I say that with every new video you upload 😅
