East End of Bluenose Drive

The Historic Grounds Coffee Shop

This photo indicates the general lay of the land: Lunenburg is situated on two huge drumlins! Notice that the blue and white building is seemingly single story where it aces on Montague Street, but there are a couple of others on the waterfront side. A steeply pitched staircase (at left) takes customers and tourists between these commercial/industrial streets. Bluenose crew members are seen taking a lunch break on that precipitous hill. Other commercial buildings along this stretch are also larger than they seem at the front entrance because of the lie of the land.
Another Sure Sign of Spring
Activity At Lunenburg Public Wharf

Also On Bluenose Drive, Lunenburg

Big Red's Family Restaurant used to be the Lunenburg Town Jail, hence this peculiar structure at the backside of the building. This is actually a whimsical bit of applied art: The paddy wagon doors open and close on bags of detritus and waste from Red's food operations. All of these buildings have exposed backyards, seen by every tour bus which comes to town, so some innovation is required to hide garbage!

Lunenburg Gallery Hop

The swordfish, hanging from a nearby power pole, were created at the Lunenburg Forge. As mentioned elsewhere, the two owners of that eleven-year old business have folded their tents and moved to Mexico.
