Growing Up in Belleville Ontario, CANADA (Moira River, Bay of Quinte) 2003

CC 2003 Belleville (2004 population 49,060, metropolitan population 88,025) is a city located at the mouth of the Moira River on the Bay of Quinte in southeastern Ontario, Canada, in the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor. It is the seat of Hastings County. Originally the Native settlement Asukhknosk, the city was settled by United Empire Loyalists in 1789, after which it became known as Meyer's Creek after prominent settler and industrialist John Walden Meyers. It was renamed Belleville in honour of Lady Arabella Gore in 1816, after a visit to the settlement by Sir Francis Gore and his wife. Belleville became an important railway junction with the completion of the Grand Trunk in 1855. Procter & Gamble, Lipton, Wilson Sports, Sears and Nortel are among the internationally known companies with industrial operations in Belleville. Belleville is the home of Loyalist College and Albert College. There are four publicly funded and two separate (Catholic) high schools names St. Teresa's and Nicholson Catholic College.

I love it here in Belleville

[Soseloshvili]

ROFL. Yeah, Belleville. Guess you guys never experienced the real. Y'know, guys and gals down in West Zwicks at night selling their bodies for crack? Homelessness, decaying low-income housing and slum lords? A pathetic job market and busses that won't pick you up if they don't feel like it?

I've lived here for 11 years in the thick of it all. You don't know this town.
