Places to Sleep in Hearst, Ontario
Created | Updated May 14, 2007
Hearst is on Hwy 11 about 1000 km northwest of Toronto, and 250 kms west of Timmins. It contains 96% french people if your into that sort of thing. Here are two of free places to crash which I've slept at.
The first one is the 24 hour Esso where they have a trucker lounge with couches and when you get kicked out of there (since your not a trucker) you can sleep in the attached restaurant. On a side note I've slept in the parking lot in front of The Beer Store which is next to the Esso. I dont recommand it because its cold and the Beer Store owner shoos you away at 730. We only slept there cause we didnt know that the Esso had a seating area in it. Also any other anglophone will ask you for weed in the Esso. You can also see Veitnam vet truckers show off thier war wounds.
The second less glamouros spot is the parking lot at 34 Rousse Street which has hella old school buses for treeplanters- you'll have a choice of 6 or 7. To get there go east from the Esso and take the first left it'll be a ways cause of the damn train tracks. Then you take the second right which should be Rousse and keep on walking. The library will have maps and one dollar an hour for the internet. There is a new park on the way so you could sleep there. Watch out for good looking French teenaged girls picking weedy flowers for you at 3 in the morning. Oh there is a bench acroos from the Post Office which is a block south of the Queen's Hotel strip club at George and 9th.
