And y...You've already been corrected on the ravens. And yes, they are terrifyingly large. There are stories of them swooping down and carting away small cats and dogs.<BR/><BR/>The best places for buying food are, as you probably know, Arctic Ventures, NorthMart and, if you can find it, Baffin Cannery. The later is out near the airport, behind the Worker's Compensation Office. The selection can be a bit limited, but if they don't have what you're looking for, ask and they'll check around for you. It's primarily a warehouse first, supermarket second.<BR/><BR/>You can also use Food mail, but that might be something you're better off playing with once you get settled in Rankin rather than messing around with it for the short time you're in Iqaluit.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and welcome to the craziness.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8316278384361358801.post-18622437612071046142007-09-26T12:08:00.000-05:002007-09-26T12:08:00.000-05:00Congrats on landing! What is the grocery store? ...Congrats on landing! What is the grocery store? It is the "Northern?" I was also very shocked by what I called "crows on steriods", but was quick to be corrected that they are Ravens, not crows. Looks the same to me! They freak me out. The produce in most places is subsidized so the prices are somewhat reasonable, somewhat. :) Can't wait to see your pictures!Rob, Tina and the boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840954020421165800noreply@blogger.com
