A short note, today.
The Grapevine (April 2025, No. 22.4) includes a map of local libations on page 15. It is a cartographer’s nightmare. I should take it to COGS to get their opinion.
Here are a few of the errors that I have noticed. I think #38 Lunn’s Mill is in the correct location. #38 Still Fired Distilleries in Annapolis is incorrect. #39 Beaver Creek Vineyard is not correct.
Here is a possible explanation. #39 is Still Fired Distilleries. #38 is Lunn’s Mill. #37 is Beaver Creek Vineyard.
The map does not show road numbers e.g. highway#1 or highway #201. Nor does the map identify any of the communities by name.
I cannot speak for the geography (cartography) in Kings County.
My suggestion to the Grapevine Editorial. Contact the faculty at COGS and see whether they, or a student, can produce an accurate, useful map for those folks who want to enjoy a drink of local products in the Annapolis Valley
Everyone will have noticed the increase in lawn signs for candidates in our forthcoming federal election. Today (Sunday) we will stop at the Bridgetown Legion to hear from Ronnie Leblanc, the Liberal candidate. I anticipate there will be a similar event for our incumbent Conservative representative, Chris D’entremont; or perhaps, an all-candidate meeting for our riding.
PS
We attended the meeting in Bridgetown. Speakers included Stephen McNeil and Carman Kerr. McNeil emphasized that this election was about the United States threat to Canada as a Nation, and which party will stand up to the threat posed by Donald Trump’s policies south of the border. The meeting had a strong attendance, with the opportunity to catch up with old friends.
Go find your Grapevine !
