You can find great stuff in all sorts of places to fill up your suitcase. But if you want something made by a local artist, be sure to ask if it is. Here’s a cool mask made by a St. John artist we bought at Colombo’s smoothie stand, right next to earrings made by a local artist on one side, and necklaces imported from Haiti on the other. Nothing wrong with Haitian crafts, but if you’re looking for ST. JOHN crafts, be sure to ask. On-StJohn Road Trip: Colombo’sMonday, June 4th, 2007We gotta fuel up for our road trip, so our first stop is Colombo’s at the intersection of Centerline Road and the North Shore Road. Best line in this whole interview: “Even a bad day on St. John doesn’t suck.” Find out how that old truck became Colombo’s, below! I’ll solve the puzzle, PatSunday, June 3rd, 2007
Could it be North Shore Road? Looks like somebody took the corner a little too sharp. (At the junction of the North Shore Road and Centerline Road.) This sign’s also very close to tomorrow’s Road Trip debut. Video alert! Let’s get a smoothie, tomorrow On-StJohn TV.

And you thought St. John didn’t have any stoplights. Well there is one. First one to correctly guess where this is gets an On-StJohn T-shirt. And the title “Nerdiest St. John Tourist Ever” because if you know where this is, you’re a nerd. (Locals disqualified.) |

We grew a watermelon. Three of them. Nobody, including us, remembers planting a watermelon, but there they are. A vine snaked its way out of a planter, past the hot tub and down a wall to a little corner of the pool deck where nobody goes. And that’s where they grew.
