CA Girl - it isn't just a 20 minute ferry ride... Even with the commuter discount the ferry is quite expensive, add to that the cost of a taxi to any given venue, if in fact, you are able to secure a taxi ride for the hours you are expected to work. There is a HUGE difference between driving miles a...

I have friends who have worked at the establishments mentioned. What has finally come out has been going on for months. Having said that, I am employed by wonderful restaurant owners.

Gromit and all the forumites, I live on STJ and I lurk more then I post. I'm not very eloquent when attempting to get my point across, so here it goes. After living on St. John for awhile now, not long enough to be considered an oldtimer, but not a newbie resident either, I had become somewhat cynic...

Please think!!!

Not to be a downer, however, today I was riding with my puppy to our "park" so he could run. We were driving up North Shore Rd. behind a fully loaded water truck.... The next thing I know the water truck is laying on it's horn and the brakes are smoking. There was a rental vehicle, in the ...

I had the day off today but ventured into town. It was great to see so many people enjoying our little piece of heaven. I love the look on their faces when they see St. John for the first time, it makes me smile every time.

That was awesome.

I am pretty new to the forum, and although I live here, I find so much information from forumites!!! So what if some of it is about a drunken experience?? I learned how to make the best jello shots ever!!!!

Thank you to all of you!!!

Connie it doesn't surprise me that you have your facts wrong. KC is welcome on St. John. True St. Johnians don't make a big deal out of who he is and him being here we really don't care. He's a person and deserves his privacy and we respect that. We don't have a problem with him being here.

Hi Pia, My son was married at the Westin June of 2007. Overall I can say it was a positive experience for them. The only negative was that they had the ceremony on the beach @ 5:00pm. The bugs nearly ate the bride and the guests alive. The Westin did provide bug spray, but the Tiki torches were an e...
