Remarks: Nunn isn’t exactly responsible, but he does have answers. According to the province, the spot wasn’t developed in 2000 because there were no proposals for the area then. Now, Centennial Group is working on a development agreement that would bridge the gravel gap. An application, “which includes a hotel, residential units, an urban park,” should reach council this fall. “The objective is to always have the same type of boardwalk as what’s in front of the Bishop’s Landing wraparound,” says Nunn.
Who’s Responsible?: David Nunn. Financial Officer with Centennial Group Ltd. 496-0906.

Because you don’t like them you have taste??? I didn’t realize wearing my pretty pink crocs was really any of your fucking business! And as it was said on the ABC news last eve, they’re better for your feet THEN flip flops! You, SOMEONE WITH TASTE, are a CROC of shit!
Agreed. While a lack of holes would actually increase the aerodynamics (if speed were the goal), those holes do a piss-poor job of keeping your feet cool. Yes, I have a pair, and that foam does not breathe one little bit. I’m not sure how you people stand to wear them in bare feet. And for the record, they are comfy, but totally inappropriate for wearing around town. Good for cushing around home, garden, and my ultra-casual office.
So apparently these horrid excuse for footwear are supposed to be good for wet conditions??? One rainy day I saw a woman sporting her bright pink crocs almost fall on her ass while walking on a tile floor….because they’re friggin’ plastic!! If not for the sake of humility, please at least take them off for your own safety.
riiiiiggght….ABC news is the source of all correct info on foot care.I think the point the original bitch was trying to make was that crocs are perhaps a little too casual for day-to-day wear. Perhaps a good parallel would be doing your grocery shopping in a bathrobe. Sure it’s comfy, and I bet ABC would do a spot about how they encourage genital area air flow, but hell, that just dosen’t make it right.Get some fashion standards people. Crocs and those UGG boots will be remembered as our generations mesh t-shirt. And nobody wants that.
The original company that made “crocs”, Holey Soles from vancouver, intended their footwear to be used as beach shoes, or for canoers/kayakers to get in and out of boats launched on stony beaches.It’s amazing how practical things get co-opted by the lemming-like mainstream.
Why does what other people wear bother you so much? How does it effect your daily life? Do you lay in bed at night, unable to sleep, mumbling “Fucking Crocs, fucking crocs…” over and over and over?Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, people have different tastes in footwear? Like, OMG, totally!Those “totally unnecessary holes” actually serve a purpose. They keep the feet cool (well, cooler than a pair a shoes on a 30 degree day).In conclusion, fuck off and stop worrying about what I wear on my feet. Me finding something comfortable is none is your business. I’m not trying to impress you or live up to your taste. I could care less what the fuck your taste is.
Dude! If the biggest irritant in your life is other peoples ugly footwear – to the point that you took the time to write to a newspaper about it – then I would say your life is pretty sweet. I tip my hat to you.
The holes are to allow air circulation and dissipate heat/moisture and help prevent nasty foot funguses. If people can go out in public in thier pyjama pants then I can wear my hideous plastic shoes.
Run Little lemmings is the only one who gets it. Its the way that peopleneed so badly to be like everybodyelse that is so amusingly pathetic.When I asked a friend why it was so important to her to have the “right”shoes or the latest cool name on her sweatshirt she could not really tell me why other than its “what everybodyis wearing.”The curious thing is that in being like everybody else she is convinced(by advertising)that she isan individual who doesnt let anyone tell her what to do or wear.Amazing.
To all you “Croc wearers”, you’re all mad and defensive because someone finally shed some light on the fact that the only people who wear those things are white trash, little kids or people without any fashion sense!!!
We all agree that they are ugly, but its not up to you to determine if its appropriate. Tell that to the countless numbers of nurses, and recent orthopedic patients and back sufferers who shouldn’t wear them because their ugly, and they’ll have to suffer for fashion.
AND THE GOOD OLE MARITIMERS WILL GRAB ONTO ANYTHING THAT THEY THINK MAKES THEM STYLISH.PEOPLE, THEY ARE SO FUCKING UGLY AND WE DON’T WEAR SHIT LIKE THAT IN MONTREAL.NICE…BASEBALL CAPS, SWEAT PANTS AND CROCS, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
All this anger over a pair of effing shoes. You people are funny.
im not even sure wtf crocs are but who the fuk r some of u 2 decide what is appropriate for others to wear ‘too casual for day-to-day wear.’,’Get some fashion standards people’, fukoff ‘intergenerational fashion police’, its whats on the inside that truly counts, superficiality is not a virtue, being oneself and not caring what others think is, the most attractive women 2 me r the ones who r unique, individual, evolved, no make-up, strange clashing style, or simple utilitarian wear, whatever, the heart is what makes the person not the coverings, someday u may understand that it’s not how you look, it’s how you feel….i too could care less wtf your taste is or what is ‘in’, buying brand names at inflated prices sewn in a 3rd world countries for cents, you support injustice, but u look cool, right?…well as cool as the other million clones witht he same hairstyle and eye-shadow… way to go fucking followers
Who really cares, i own a pair and I wear them when i feel like it. They have a great grip for mowing lawns on hills and the grass stains wash right away. Im sure the same person who complains about wearing crocs sports an alligator purse and seven inch heels. You have way too much time on your hands if the only thing you worry about is what I wear on my feet.
Seriously, when people are pissed off or annoyed regarding the footwear of others, they clearly need to get a fucking life
