New Johnny Peppers sign up

There work on the outside of the new Johnny Peppers on Victoria Avenue (or is it Ferry St at that point? I cna never keep that straight) seems to have slowed down. I assume there is more work going on inside. The only recent change to the outside has been the addition of a sign in the last week or so.

I commented over a month ago that I couldn’t believe they weren’t open yet. They certainly don’t look like they’ll be open for Labour Day, so when are they going to open? It seems odd to have all this work done over the summer for them to open in the fall or winter.

Summer 2010 is “over”… was it good?

I know that summer doesn’t officially end in this part of the world until September 21, but in this tourist area it might as well be over. The beginning of September and the passing of Labour Day makrs the beginning of school. That means that family vacations are no more. The weekends might still be busy here, but things are significantly slower during the week.

So, how as Summer 2010? It’s hard to get a good read on this. Admittedly, I haven’t contacted anyone who their input (I don’t think they’d give me an honest answer anyway), but my impression was that it was a better year that they’ve had the last couple. Here are a few of my own observations (including some comments I’ve made before):

There often seemed to be a lot of people around
There were more US license plates seen
The weather was fantastic
Apparently the motorcycle get-together, and the Elvis festival were not big hits
The new Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville opened and always seems to have a decent number of people in it
I didn’t go, but it sounds like the party for the opening of the Hart & Huntington tattoo shop was the place to be

Hopefully the last couple of years were the bottom, and with improved business will come even more growth. I assume that the new convention centre will only help…

The unoffical start to summer 2010 I guess this weekend and next constitute the unofficial start...

Only a week and a half left of Bodies The Exhibition

Bodies The Exhibition logo

They are scheduled to be open until Labour Day Monday (September 6, 2010). I reached out to my press contact this week and asked how things were going. She said that things were good and they were pleased with the results. I hope that means that the Titanic Exhibit is coming next year!

Be sure to read My visit to “Bodies… The Exhibition” for my thoughts on the exhibit.
