Your Saint John City Hall just took a big nap.

Your City Hall was taking a long nap this week

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

Right, so if you were looking for big headlines out of City Hall this week, you were probably checking the wrong place, eh? It's been quieter than a clam at low tide down there. We've seen almost no new civic data come in, which, I'll tell you what, is a pretty rare occurrence for Saint John.

It felt like everyone just collectively decided to take a little break, maybe because of all the rain we've been getting, right? Your umbrellas have certainly been getting a workout. There's not much to report when the main takeaway is... well, *nothing*. It's almost like the city decided to hold its breath for a bit.

* No new open data from the portal.

* City Hall was unusually quiet.

* Plenty of rain to keep everyone indoors.

It leaves you wondering what's brewing beneath the surface, doesn't it? Or maybe everyone's just waiting for the sunshine to break through.

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