Your City Hall was quieter than the Boardwalk this week.

Your City Hall was a bit too quiet this week, I'll tell you what.

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

Right, so this past week, we were all looking for a bit of action down at Saint John City Hall, eh? It was quieter than the Boardwalk on a Tuesday in January. Not much new civic data came across our desks, which, I'll tell you what, is a bit unusual.

We were expecting the usual buzz, but it felt like the city's open data portal went on a little vacation itself.

* **Data Drought:** Barely a peep from the open data portal.

* **Quiet Halls:** Less hustle and bustle than we're used to.

* **Waiting Game:** Left us wondering what's next.

Now, don't get me wrong, Saint John keeps on turning, right? But for folks who like to keep an eye on the numbers, it was a bit frustrating. We’ll be watching closely to see if things pick up next week, down by the Saint John City Market.

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