The first thing that's evident upon entering P.E.I.'s Evangeline Region is the pride its residents have in their Acadian heritage.

The church in Mont Carmel is fine, its the one in Egmont Bay that's been condemned and gutted.
The Michael's Pizzeria has been gone for a while now though, unless I'm sorely mistaken. -

in my 20 years living in Ontario, originally from PEI, i have spoken to many people that went to PEI for a vacation and i have never gotten a bad comment about PEI. Some went as far as saying they fell in love with our little island. I salut all that welcome visitors with open arms and kindness.

Sharp-eyed readers!
I think that there is still a pizza place at Day's Corner, but it's just not called Michael's Pizzeria and it's under new ownership.
Thanks for pointing out the anachronism. -

I love the Evangeline region. I'm from the Evangeline region. This is slightly off-topic, but it's something that's been worrying me about my place of birth for quite a few years now.
Unfortunately a great many Acadian youth are becoming assimilated to the predominant English culture. More and more English words are being used, and that's accepted as the Acadian language . Please remember that next time you hear someone say J'ai mis du gas dans le car puis chus alle au mall , that that is NOT the Acadian language. -

The Evangeline region is like heaven on earth. The people are very friendly, the scenery is breathtaking. Lots of things to do and see, with the Acadian Festival being the prime activity of the summer. The Bluegrass is a very good festival also, too bad the locals don't support more.

Being born and brought up until the age of 22 ,on P.E.I. I think it's apprroiate to call the place GOD'S PLAY GROUND, that's how I think of my birthplace. I'm also Acadian, and proud of it.

Is Michael's Pizzeria really gone? Because that would be a shame. By far the best pizza I've eaten on this Island came from that little spot in Wellington.
