Plans for the Texaco roundabout have been posted on St. John Tradewinds' web site, www.stjohnnews.com. I know the Daily News has featured photos of th...

I don't attend church, but I can say that Mount Carmel has a beautiful, new (within the last two years) building, and Father Crespo is a really kind m...

In this case, it is the Sahara dust, however we do experience ash from Montserrat from time to time as well.

Bardsley, I love Shela's Pot in the park in Cruz Bay. As you come off the ferry dock, she's to your left. She has great local food, so definitely giv...

Neil, Just wanted to say hi from one (former) Buckeye to another! I moved to St. John from Columbus in 2005. We have internet through Innovative Pow...

Jennifer, St. John is very safe. The majority of crimes here are third degree burglaries (when the homeowner is not home) and grand larcenies, usually...

There are several graphic designers on St. John and they all seem to be extremely busy. I know a girl who worked here as a graphic designer for maybe ...

St. John has extracurricular activities as well...spelling bees, talent shows, the Love City Pan Dragons (children's steel pan group), the Love City L...

Thanks for the heads up, I love these kinds of things. We went to Tortola for a concert kicking off their carnival about a year and a half ago. We had...

I'll second what East Ender said about Cost-U-Less. Between Starfish and Cost-U-Less or KMart on St. Thomas, you should be able to find everything you...

As far as I know (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) you need a taxi medallion to operate a taxi on St. John. There are no medallions for sal...

I do see people riding scooters here on St. John, and I really don't know how they get around some of the switchbacks here. You would probably be safe...

I'd recommend coming on down and staying at a place like Inn at Tamarind Court while you look for a place to stay. Look for long-term rentals at Conne...

I don't know whether Grande Bay followed the letter of the law or not. I've had this debate enough and I'm not trying to start it again. If anyone t...

Without getting into a long-winded explanation, Grande Bay has five "levels," not all of which are considered "stories." One level is the garage, whic...

I just wanted to point out in general...not necessarily referring to Grande Bay...that if someone purchases a piece of land, they have every right to ...

If your mom would pay for it, by all means go for it. Our parents send us goodie packages now and then, but like I said in my previous post, we use cv...

Betty, I did mention that we are both lucky to have professional jobs. I have no doubt that if either of us left our jobs, there may, in fact, be stee...

For what it's worth, I can think of at least one very successful black contractor off the top of my head, and I'm not even in the development business...
