Prince Rupert residents seem to be somewhat attached to their local photography supply store, at least judging by the interest in our look this week at the shift of Shutter Shack to its new Third Avenue East location, with our notes on the new ownership of Lonnie and Bruce Wishart by far the most popular read of the last seven days.
The rest of the list of five for the week was a little more congested with our item of Friday on the latest population count for Prince Rupert and the rest of the Northwest gaining a strong audience, followed quite closely by our review of the January North Coast Regional District session.
The late January get together saw Regional District tackle a range of items, with our look at their plans to join in on a province wide letter writing campaign directed at fossil fuel energy companies and climate change costs collecting the most reads of the NCRD reviews of the week.
The Prince Rupert detachment of the RCMP has once again turned to the public for help, as they continue their investigation into the disappearance of North Coast resident Binh Tran.
We also took a look at a few notes from the District of Port Edward, with their plans to bring residents together for a community garden of some interest.
However the top story of the week was found on on the city's rebounding Central business street, and the relaunch of Shutter Shack.
