This month’s Walkabout here in the North End finds me at the no name plaza, established in the 1970’s and newly renovated a few years ago. Upon speaking to the shop keepers, it appears no one knows the name of this plaza. So, for this write up, I’ll call it the Waterfront Harbour Bay Plaza located at James Street & Burlington Street featuring a stunning view that overlooks the West Harbor.
A little jewel of a plaza which blends in nicely with the neighborhood and does not disappoint…
Here are the shops dotting along the way.
GRANDAD’S DONUTS an anchor serving the best donuts and other delights since May 2007. A gathering place for the young and old where neighbours meet neighbours.
