SevenSeasJim Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've been a few times and the city isn't bad. Sault Ste Marie to Wawa is one of the nicest areas in Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForbinHood Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks Jim... ive been to the city several times but never long enough to get a good impression... i love the fact that its a smaller city and so close to nature... I can't wait to get my wife (who is used to Alaska) out of Oshawa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 A strangely high percentage of my close friends are from the Sault. If they're all from there, it can't be a half bad place. Also, Lyndon Slewidge is from there and he is 100% class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Born and raised baby (well for part of the time).Now, I'm not ever going back, but I have a lot of friends who stayed and are happy there. It's small and it's remote, obviously, but if you like the outdoors and "salt of the earth" people it can be a lot of fun. THere are a few quite good bars with live music. My ex-roomate from Ottawa is a jazz prof at the univerity-college there and gigs regularly in a number of good bands. Fishing and x-country skiing are amazing there, and there is a small but decent downhill ski hill as well. There's a small but noticeable student population which breathes some youth into the place, but don't expect it to have the same student scene as thunder bay for example. Anyway bob, if it comes to be drop me a PM and I can put you into contact with good people and places.I'll be there in June/July for my grandmother's birthday as well.

dave-O Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Great junior hockey town! I was born there as well, but haven't been back since the late 80s and have long lost touch with anyone I knew. Good luck Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) jonyak, what's your girlfriend's name (if you don't mind saying)? small enough place that we may have gone to school together.Bob, Constable Lyndon Slewidge is easily one of the best singers of our national anthem in Canadian history. This coming from a Saultite and Sens fan, of course. Edited March 1, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForbinHood Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 No disrepect meant to Lyndon whatsoever as I do know he's an incredible talent...disrespect meant to the Sens only!Thanks for all the info people... much appreciated.
