Newfoundland Island For Sale {Luxist}

Mar 14th 2006 5:01PM After reading The Shipping News you are scared off of Newfoundland? Don't you realize that the story is fiction? That's like saying - after seeing the movie Gangs of New York I'm scared off of New York City. It's a stupid comment.
When are people going to stop believing bigoted comments about Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders? The truth is that Newfoundland is a beautiful island in the middle of the north Atlantic (so yes, it is wet and cold there from time to time – but it can also be sunny and warm). The people of Newfoundland have all sorts of different personalities – funny enough – just like people from anywhere else!
