Vandals target Phat’s
If you’ve been thinking of getting a haircut in the coming weeks and are uncertain where to go, consider the Best of Halifax-winning Best Barber Phat Luong’s place (2170 Windsor Street, 423-6596). He could use an influx of cash at the moment. The large glass window of his establishment was broken by vandals back in December, just before the holidays. “A great Christmas present for Phat,” he says, ruefully. But in the 14 years he’s owned the business, he’d never had such a thing happen, and wasn’t expecting it to happen again anytime soon. But then, this past Friday evening,

30 Day Song Challenge: My Least Favorite Song

My choice, therefore, is a song that made
