Selling graphic novels in St Catharines
St Catharines is the largest city in the wine region and sits on the canal that carries shipping around the falls, with a university and a long fruit-growing tradition behind it. The climate here is milder than the rest of the province, which is why the vineyards work at all.
The university clears student housing each spring, and the seasonal agricultural workforce arrives and leaves with the harvest. Tourism-driven short-term rentals add a third stream of household goods being replaced.
Driving is the norm and parking is easy across the city. The canal crossings are the one thing that can add time to a short trip, so agree which side you are meeting on.
On anything stored in a garage or basement, check for damp and for freeze-thaw damage. The climate here is milder than the province’s but still swings past freezing repeatedly, which is what actually does the damage.
