The Grand Concourse is an integrated walkway system for the cities of St. John's and Mount Pearl and the town of Paradise in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
It has over 120 kilometers (75 mi) of walkways linking every major park, river, pond, and green space in the three municipalities. The Grand Concourse was first developed through the generosity of the Johnson Family Foundation with Paul Johnson as its president and founder.
Famous quotes containing the word grand:
“There aren’t any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it won’t be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. It’ll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, there’s nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
