Survey Asks

Should city managers’ salaries be public record?

  • Yes. All government workers’ salaries, not just union members’, should be public record.
  • No. City managers have a right to privacy.
  • Only if they get paid more than I do.

The CH building was a landmark?? I thought it was a shining example of a concrete monster with no street-level public interface on any side of it.

This website has lots of great photos of Halifax landmarks, then and now (and as they were demolished): http://www.halifaxhistory.ca/

I stumbled upon it one day and check back regularly for updates. The photos of the NS Power Fantasyland display in the 60s are fantastically creepy!

Crazy.... This gets me thinking that the Coast should start a demolition gallery for Halifax... The process of our landmarks being destroyed. I took a bunch of photos around 16 years ago of old buildings on Barrington getting raised that I could contribute :)
