Pleasantville, Newfoundland and Labrador

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pleasantville is a neighbourhood in the east end of the city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It extends from the north side of Quidi Vidi Lake northward to Newfoundland Drive, and is largely made up of apartment blocks. Pleasantville was the former site of the United States military's Fort Pepperell, and many of the buildings constructed by the US during World War II have today been converted to affordable housing and apartments.

Pleasantville is home to a reserve base of the Canadian Forces, and the Country Ribbon meat processing plant, as well as the former site of the Janeway Children's Hospital.
