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.
Gander on 9/11 and Come From Away
gander · The Trans-Canada
38 planes, 7,000 strangers, one small town - and a musical that told the world.
On 11 September 2001, when US airspace closed, 38 planes with roughly 6,600-7,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Gander, a town of about 10,000. For five days residents housed, fed and sheltered the stranded travellers in schools, halls and homes - an effort commemorated at sites around Gander and later by the Tony-winning musical 'Come From Away' by Irene Sankoff and David Hein, which the town now celebrates with its own Come From Away visitor experience. The story is documented town history, not embellishment.
How to get there
Gander on the Trans-Canada: the monument and WTC steel are at the North Atlantic Aviation Museum, with the Come From Away experience in town.
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.
