Stinkypup

Does it?




Sorry.. Very childish but I couldn't resist- it does actually look very impressive... As Novo said some time back- old doesn't mean quaint- I still stick by the Nefie harbour scenes- I would call them quaint

Vankleek Hill may teeter on the twee side of quaint.

I can think of a few bits of Toronto & Montreal I'd class as quaint.

It still does after more than 150 years.

That's not bad going- I suppose similar to the canals in the Uk but way grander looking

Chemainus, BC seemed pretty quaint to me

Funky more than quaint? I love the murals- Vernon's ones are great but these look better. I think one would describe Nelson as funky as well not quaint- again they would describe them both as historic.

With NotL being way on the wrong side of it.

Looks like we all have our own definitions of quaint. "Picture Postcard" might be a better term for some of the examples. According to me, that is.

If you take away the flowers or maybe imagine it in winter, do these examples still look quaint?

Fergus, Elora, St. Jacobs, Port Hope, Coburg, Port Perry (all in Ontario) are are pretty towns. Not nearly as lovely as Burton on the Water, but still nice.

Oh yes, the old style shopping arcade with the plank floors is properly quaint. The caber toss is, however, twee.

Leavenworth (in WA)?

Using Ann m's definition in the Lower Mainland Fort Langley and Steveston might qualify.
