I see all the Bitches about the Oxford Theatre going down into a pile of rubble and being replaced with condos and stores. It is a historic building in this city and is the last of its kind—majestic treasure.
If you are pissed at the developer then find out who it is and don’t ever buy any of his products. If you support one of his businesses you help him to bulldoze the treasures of the city and replace them with generic condos. It all boils down to greed—the greed of the developer and the greed of our city council that wants to get their re-election funds from developers. It is the old wash my back and i will wash yours – it has been going on long before the oxford theatre was built and it will continue until it has faded from everyones memories. All you can do is protest with your wallet because that is all they understand. —Eating Elsewhere

Yeah, it should be easy for this bunch of whiney douchebags, they got some pretty good practice boycotting the theatre they all claim to love so much. I guess the old adage “Use it or lose it” rings pretty true.
Hear!!, Hear!!
Yes!.. let’s please $pend wisely Halifax
What a load of crap! The main reason the oxford was bought out was because people never used the damn place.
So don’t buy anything in the city at all; because it’s now all owned by Condo businesses?
And did you just assume the developers gender?
And none of you “Buy local people” EVER buy fucking art in this city; I have to trade my art; it sells fine over seas.
Halifax’s problem is the people of Halifax. Period.
Learrus.. regarding your 4 statements
1. It’s not “all owned by condo business” so that statement is nonsense
2. No, OP didn’t “assume the developer’s gender”, s/he knows it.. ironically youve made a false assumption here
3. Impossible to know unless you are omniscient
4. Wrong.. Another false statement. Problems are many & not all are because of “the people of Halifax”
You’re welcome.
