The changing face of Princess Street

Comments on this blog show that Saint John is eagerly waiting for the Brew Pub on Princess Street (on the corner of Canterbury) to open.   It’s evident that work is ongoing, and while the developer missed their goal of opening in the Spring, this will be a major addition to the city’s night life once complete.

 

Across the street the proprietors of Lemongrass and Pepper’s Pub have moved from their homey Princess Street location.  The Thai restaurant and gastro-pub now reside on the boardwalk.

Meanwhile, the brew pub and former Lemongrass section of Street is still undergoing a major upgrade with wires being buried.The value of this cosmetic change can be predicted when you look at the block of Princess west of Charlotte Street.  Here, the restored home of the Saint John Theatre Company and the rest of the historic block could do without the crisscrossing black lines.
East of Charlotte St. the Imperial Theatre’s rear is undergoing a facade upgrade; just another part of the changing face of Princess Street.
