As items related to crime, Watson Island, politics both federal and provincial and the city's recreation centre all sought out their share of the top five listings on the week.
Readers were particularly interested in a vandalism spree on the Prince Rupert waterfront, as the local detachment turned to the public for some assistance related to the incidents at the Metlakatla Boat Dock in the city last month.
Anytime the words Watson Island appear on the blog the view count is sure to spike and this week was no different, with a large audience looking for more background on the upcoming auction of assets from the old pulp mill site.
A simmering dispute between users of the recreation facility and the city seems to have been resolved, with the issue of the use of the seats in the Russell Gamble Gymnasium seemingly taken care of after a meeting with the Mayor and city staff.
Politics on two senior levels also proved to be popular this week, with our notes on the recently named Federal Cabinet and a look at some heated discussion in the Legislature this week both attracting a large audience.
However, the lead off item which found the largest audience of the week, was that of some criminal activity on the city's waterfront, and a number of incidents of damage to vehicles parked near the Metlakatla boat dock in the city.
