Interesting picture link you've got there Brian ... but just wondering what "ARCHIVE" you dug that out of??

Readers should check out the Bay Roberts Website for a TRUE Representation of the Town ... the visible, and the invisible (developments currently on the table may be found in the town minutes) ... :)
http://www.bayroberts.com/index3.htm OR http://www.northernavalon.com/baccalieu/bayr.htm .... let people judge for themselves what qualifies the terminology "BEST" or 'worst"! ....

By the way Brian, I wonder if you could identify your data sources since they do not agree with my research AT ALL -- Perhaps they are quite 'out of date'? Margaret

Just read your article Brian ... am just wondering why you've taken such a negative slant on this since out of 2.94% of all the towns/cities one could live in (out of 5772 according to Yahoo), Bay Roberts is ON the "BEST" Places to Live List of MoneySense Magazine. Further, I've lived in Ottawa for 25 years and can't say that I EVER left my doors unlocked for ANY Reason ... so your comment about crime rate needs to be brought into balance. In Bay Roberts, I can take a leisurely stroll well after dark without any fear of being mugged or robbed. We have GROWING Population here and recently (this week) reported 25 newly approved Residential Building applications. Regarding our Town Website, you apparently don't visit it very often, or you would KNOW how much work has been done on it over the past few years ... and I suspect WILL be done thanks to your comments.
Thank you Brian for having an opinion, regardless of how off-balanced it is, since "No publicity is BAD Publicity"! ... Here is Bay Roberts, we are smiling at the wonderful advantage you have given us ... THANKS!!
