11 Aug People are just quietly killin’ it in… Fredericton??

A great friend who moved from rural Cape Breton to Fredericton a few years ago has been trying ever since to convince me her move wasn’t the cultural equivalent of falling off a cliff. Now comes the improbably named Gracen Johnson with persuasive video evidence of Fredericton’s coolness:

Johnson explains:

I’m 24 years old and just finished my Master’s in urban planning. This year, I’m moving against the grain of conventional wisdom for young grads. Instead of chasing a big job in a big city, I’ll be moving across the country to a small city that actually has a reputation for joblessness. Smaller cities interest me both personally and professionally. I figure the best way to understand the challenges faced by both young people and old cities in a new economy is to go live it.
