Quidi Vidi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quidi Vidi (pronounciations vary, even amongst longtime residents, but "Kiddy Viddy" is the most common) is a neighbourhood in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It was known for once being a historic fishing village.
The neighbourhood is named for both Quidi Vidi Lake (where the Royal St. John's Regatta is held the first Wednesday in August, weather permitting) and Quidi Vidi Harbour. Located in Quidi Vidi is the Quidi Vidi Battery Provincial Historic Site [1], which had significance as a battery during the War of 1812. The village is also home to Newfoundland's largest microbrewery, the Quidi Vidi Brewing Company.
