Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

Raindrops and roses is (or was) the name of a face cream which was supposed to be all natural, sung to by unicorns, blessed by cherubs tears etc. I went through a hippy stage in my teens and tried it...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

We're about an hour, or just over from Charlottetown, but I'm not too keen on Summerside. We live in the country but I'd like to live even more rurally as we have neighbours about four hundred yards...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

It sounds so beautiful. We currently live in a part of PEI which is very close to a tourist hotspot, so get lots of passing tourists. I don't mind, but I don't work and have a toddler who loves to...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

I did think it was almost certainly an Islander overreaction, crikey even typing that makes me jointly want to laugh and makes me feel like a paranoid, pearl clutching dweeb! People were so resolute...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

Thanks Siouxie. Yeah I was there when it was pretty bad, its definitely the place I felt least safe living - PEI is pretty much then exact opposite :lol:

I think I'm just worrying and dreading the...

Thank you all, I really do appreciate the recommendations, comments, warnings and all. We will be moving to a rural ish area as we want acreage.

I've lived in some, ahem, "interesting" parts of...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

Thanks Bristol that's really helpful. We were told about particular small areas to avoid in PEI (which now having lived here is laughable) and I always felt it was a bit bizarre, surely the "wrong...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

Thanks Alex. We want a rural acerage, the distance to Halifax was just as I need to be fairly close to a hospital as I still need to go through rounds of treatment.

I'm really glad to hear its...

Thanks Penny, it sounds gorgeous in your spot and definitely a rare location! I have noticed and wondered at the one horse alone keeping here. My husband and I used to rehabilitate and re-train ex...

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

Re: Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?

Where to avoid in NS or NB to live?
