20 things North-Sider’s only know.

  1. Definitely not Victoria Day. On our side of the highway what we DO know it as is “Hiking Day” not only is it this, but it’s the towns most active day oppose to the Johnny Miles Annual Race, you can bet everyone and their dogs are out making effort for that #HikingDay2019 photo.
  2. The mall parking lot…. because who loves a great parking lot? We all do. MHS kids who just got their license to your aunt whom just stopped in to eat some fries. But why? Like who really was the first mall parker to declare this meet spot? I’m being serious but if i had to guess it probably was someone that got kicked out of the Dooley’s parking lot, they seem to hit it off there too.
  3. Beer league baseball is just as important as the MLB.
  4. If somebody is walking, something is wrong. So if your going for a run you best dress the part, otherwise your neighbor may pull over to ask if you need a ride home and nobody needs that motivation killer unless your like me (:
  5. Heavy Duty Garbage – The towns annual flea market. 75% of the area will take everything they own and chuck it at the end of the drive way earlier for the scavengers.
  6. Every car needs a strut, thank your local potholes.
  7. Who has swamp juice for sale? That’s right I’ll leave that answer for you, smarty.
  8. Bras d’Or Tim Horton’s is an important stop before any road trip that is beyond the Seal Island Bridge.
  9. Northside video or Sydney Mines video had better selection then Netflix. Only con: late fees.
  10. “A long drive” is considered going through George’s River or Grove’s Point.
  11. If tonight calls for takeout it’s probably Ebbies or Pizza– *Cheese and Pep *
  12. Friday is the towns meet up at “Fri-dukes”
  13. I think everyone can remember curly fries and blue juice at Zellers? Your welcome for that memory
  14. It’s not a circus it’s the exhibition and in October the haunted house
  15. We all are either known, heard of, or are related to almost every other person we may run into anywhere in the run of a day- this can be bittersweet.
  16. Ferris’ hill. I’m not sure what to even write about here but we all know where this is so it fits in; whether you’ve done the walk up, bet your bike/snowboard down and up it or worse sled aka toboggan (I can’t believe people have honestly, ouch)
  17. Not your tropical bridge jumping but if you’ve got nerve, George’s River Bridge does just the trick.
  18. “Fart cans” & intakes is our background noice. Scenario: If you’ve ever been to another city your con on a phone call or in a drive-thru might be cars beeping, people talking in the background, construction. Here, civic’s. Don’t get me wrong, you guys put lots of work into your cars, great job. I just want my double-double correct.
  19. Max’s Corner: it is a 4-way stop that has a name I’m not sure why (if anyone does know why do comment below) although, technically speaking it would be 4 corners. Anyways moral of Max’s Corner is it’s a well known corner.
  20. What is better then the news? The Cape Breton Rant Room or your window.
