Your City Hall was quieter than Water Street this week.

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

### Your City Hall was quieter than a Sunday morning on Water Street

Well, if you've been with us this week, you'll know it's been a real peculiar one down at Saint John City Hall. I'll tell you what, it's been quieter than a clam at low tide, right? We've seen almost no new civic data come through — like the open data portal just took a holiday.

Usually, there's a steady hum, something happening, même un petit peu de bafouillage. But this week? It was like everyone packed up their bags and headed for Grand Manan, right?

* Almost no new civic data reported.

* City Hall was unusually quiet.

* Persistent active weather warnings kept umbrellas busy around the city.

It leaves you wondering what's brewing behind those doors when the usual flow of information dries up. For a city that's always got something moving, it's a bit eerie, eh?

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

Stay tuned for more from the Fundy shore, live on mornings.live.
