- Imagine WINO, MAYNWALLLIS, THE PARKS or an old-school OXFORD…
One of the coolest magazines to come out of Canada in the last decade, Spacing—-the Toronto urban spaces journal—-will now have an Atlantic presence, thanks to a new blog, spacingatlantic.ca. The official launch for the website is Wednesday, October 28, from 7-11pm, at Eye Level Gallery.
Besides promising the same fresh, critical take on political, cultural and social urban affairs that Hogtowners have enjoyed, Spacing is responsible for that awesome series of one-inch buttons featuring the tile art and landmarks of every Toronto subway station. Expect to see a series of “cool Halifax-themed buttons” at the launch. I’m hoping they’re making WINO (Windsor and North) buttons for my ’hood.

Any other suggestions for Halifax neighbourhood names?

that’s amazing! One of the editors here lives in Dartmouth under the MacDonald bridge. he wants one called DUMB…
Yes: NYC has DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Dartmouth has DUMB. Down Under the Macdonald Bridge.
NOQ and SOQ – North of Quinpool, South of Quinpool with a big dividing line in the middle
And in typically confusing Nova Scotian style, if you live under the Mackay Bridge, that’s also DUMB.
