Games
Come in. Pull up a chair.
Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
The Argentia ferry
argentia · The Cape Shore
The long crossing from North Sydney to the Avalon, landing at Argentia near Placentia.
Marine Atlantic runs the Gulf crossings. The Argentia run is the long one — roughly sixteen hours against about seven to Port aux Basques — and it operates seasonally in summer, landing you within an hour and a half of St. John''s instead of at the far end of the island. Argentia was a United States naval and air base from 1941.
How to get there
The terminal is at Argentia, off Route 100 near Placentia Junction. Check the sailing schedule before you plan around it.
Fact
Where that comes from
On the go
Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.
The kitchen
Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
The yarns
He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.
Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
