NL has Surefire Plan to Boost Tourism

What, you say, could bring more tourists to our province? There is one certain answer, set up a Tim Horton's franchise. The first trial of this new plan is being tested at Signal Hill, and there are plans to set up similar attractions at rural and isolated but beautiful places in the province. Advertising will be cost effective - it will mainly be by word of mouth and by aroma.Click to enlarge
There are critics though, The Daily Telegraph has condemned the idea saying that some other restaurant should be put on historic sites like Signal Hill, like Mr. Submarine, where they sell less fattening food. The Telegraph makes a great point - a healthier restaurant would send a better message to tourists.

Signal Hill Sunrise

One of my first Nikon digital shots from Marconi's famous hill. For visitors not from Newfoundland & Labrador, this is the first sunrise in Canada. Signal Hill is located in St. John's, Newfoundland and is the farthest east city in North America. Hmmm, not a bad spot to build a house, wonder what they're asking for Signal Hill property these days.
