Knit pick: Dartmouth Yarns
A longtime lover of the fibre arts, Kate Kimery filled a void and fed a craving of many Dartmouth artists this past summer when she opened the cozy corner shop, Dartmouth Yarns (52 Queen Street, 422-YARN). “We have been in business for much of our working lives,” says Kimery of herself and her husband, Sam.…
This is what Xzibit’s tour van looks like
Yo dawg I heard you liked pictures of over-the-top tour vans, so here’s one right here. See it in person Sunday at the Toothy Moose with your favourites Jay Mayne, Cam Smith and Kayo. Here’s a song: And a nice laugh:
Open spaces
The Atlantic Minds Wide Open film festival (www.atlanticmindswideopen.ca) takes a look at mental illness and wellness both in our communities and on the big screen. Featuring local and international films and panel discussions on the topic of mental wellness, the day long festival aims to educate as well as entertain. “As a psychologist I’m excited…
Ropa Vieja pops up
May i introduce you to the ladies behind Ropa Vieja Vintage? That’d be Angela Baxter, Maggie MacCormick and Sarah Maxwell. You might recognize their handmade and reconstructed pieces from street corners such as Barrington and South or perhaps the Khyber’s Night Market. You see, they work in a pop-up shop style, bringing their muy fashionable…
Taste of Nova Scotia for the win
Today, while I sat hungrily at my desk, the wonderful people, and knowers of all that is delicious, at Taste of Nova Scotia gathered with members of the province’s booming food and drink community to celebrate the year’s big wins at the Taste of Nova Scotia Prestige Awards. After a little catching up on Twitter,…
Better Than Her blooms
I am very happy to report another addition to the growing collection of independently-owned women’s boutiques downtown. Welcome Better Than Her Boutique (5640 Spring Garden Road) Courtney Jones’ soon-to-be-open shop full of clothing, shoes and jewellery. The store’s website tells a lovely little story about Jones’ time living in northern Canada, where she built a…
Bad drivers
What is wrong with your eyes? Are you to stupid to look for people crossing the road? Or are you just a total ass and don’t care? What’s up with all these people who got a licence but can’t seem to see when one is crossing in a CROSSWALK? Not all people cross the safe…
Thank you, thank you, thank you
To the driver of the 18 Sunday morning you are phenomenal. I was still a bit drunk from the night before and forgot my book bag on the bus and no one I called at the office would help me out. So I waited across the street for you to come back around and you…
White on rice!
To a certain curly haired uber cutie that used to work in the best thai place in Burnside… where did you go? Miss that gorgeous smile… Shoulda asked you out more then once I guess! xoxo —Metallica Moron
It’s a long shot but…
You came into my work on Friday night looking for a recommendation, I helped you find what you were looking for, I also learned that we go to the same school, and we are studying in similar programs… I’d just like to say, that speaking with you for those few brief moments made my night…
Crosswalk etiquette
Thirty-something guy on Young Street near Robie. You pushed the crosswalk button and walked out onto the street without looking. I was just a nearby witness that watched as both lanes coming at you came to a panic stop in order to avoid killing you. Most of us teach our children at three years old…
Belated birthday boy
You keep telling me it’s no big deal but I promise to make it up to you. You are the best thing that has happened in my life in the past while and I’m grateful for you. You are so easygoing and down to earth, I am uptight and have a tendency to worry and…
West Street dog walkers
For those of your who have lovely pets and walk them around the neighbourhood, please pick up after them…it really sucks to find dog shit on the sole of your shoes! Humans like to frolic through the leaves as well as dogs and it’s not fair to walk across the grass by the sidewalk and…
The full eclipse cafe
On short winter days, the expansive bank of windows in one of my local cafes provides the best place in town for generous natural light, a sunny sip, an attractive view, and a generally glowing, upbeat atmosphere. (Great coffee, great service, and smart interior too). It has been a welcome break from the lecture hall,…
Cape Breton = shit hole
I am from Cape Breton. I live on Cape Breton. Actually I should say… I “barely” live on Cape Breton. This place is beautiful. The scenery is wonderful and the people are good people… however… the majority of us younger people can’t stay here to make a living. It is disgraceful. No gainful employment to…
Killer
Hey Killer, thanks for calling me out to Halifax. I love this town, and I love waking up beside you every morning and seeing you as if for the first time. I’m gonna keep you I think. —Danger
Came for a meal, left with a crush
To the adorable waiter at a Spring Garden restaurant with glasses and a beard: You laughed and told me you liked my disney sweater. My friend and I giggled as you tried to get through the specials even though you were having a hard time remembering (we had already heard them, but you were too…
Too low for zero
I’m so sorry. I had no idea you still felt for me, or that it was that strong. I value your friendship, and I don’t want to to hurt you any more than I may have already. I’ll keep my distance. —Anon
I got some loving to do
I love the way you look in the leather coat, I know the bad boy image is overused but you’re the hottest. Your sexy smile is a turn on. Why can’t we be together forever? I love your kind hearted acts you do to total strangers and friends alike. Love you. So much. —Comedy Stars…
Paper cranes
To the girl I trusted as the love of my life and family. Who cheated on me for a year and eventually left with my dignity, sense of self worth and car. It feels so good to have you out of my system. Thanks for the amazing dog, months of harassment from your new lover…
Light me up
You made me a coffee and were super attractive, you lit up my day. —Runner
Get your own smokes
Don’t dare stand still or make eye contact in Halifax or some loser will bum a cigarette! I work really hard and make sacrifices in order to afford the luxury. If you’re gonna smoke—you have to fuckin’ BUY THEM. —Pissed Off in Downtown.
Won’t buy candy from strangers
Going door to door selling chocolate bars for a charity is not a good way to be doing things any more. I totally agree with the cause if you guys are actually with that organization, but knocking on someone’s door at 7 at night isn’t an effective way to get donations. No one carries cash…
Just want you to know…
I have a huge crush on you. We work together and I don’t know a whole lot about you but what I do know is that you are beautiful, have an amazing personality and a smile/laugh that kills me everytime. When I see you at work I try not to stare but it’s almost impossible.…
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Yesterday I got on the number 18 to go to school. As usual for that time of the day it was absolutely packed. I was dressed in my most ‘thug’-like clothes: baggy jeans, giant hoody and jacket, big lug boots, backwards ball cap with my big headphones blaring rap music. I was also carrying my…
Halifax merchants: get with the program!
Dear Merchants, I’ve spent over $1,000 for XMAS gifts this year—all OUTSIDE of Nova Scotia. Why? Because you lame ass merchants don’t carry simple, popular items. I can’t find a bit of sugar free candy anywhere. The candy places here laugh at me when I ask for it. Try buying something from the farmers’ market…
Saving the face
Congratulations to the owner of restaurants in Halifax who listened to his neighbours in the north end. When the demolition notice went in for that old building we were upset. We spoke our mind and he listened. Now look, a fantastic restoration job that adds beauty to our neighbourhood. Bravo. —Two Wheeler
I’m not coming home
This year I, like so many other young people in Nova Scotia, packed up in search of a better future elsewhere (In my case to Toronto for university). It was hard for me to go, seeing as I was leaving all of my friends and family in Halifax, the city where I’ve lived my entire…
Thumper and Mouse

Back of the bus
Thank you to the gentleman who moved his feet off the bus seat so I could ride backwards. For seven minutes, looking at and talking with you, I forgot about being stood up, starving, ignored and uninvited. I will treat you to coffee anytime. Bless your heart. —J
Actually, I AM allowed to do that
Every day I ride my bike down Bayers Road through the Connaught intersection in rush hour traffic. Traffic is always stopped or crawling, and I easily scoot past on the right. Once in awhile some dickwad will ride the curb in an obviously deliberate effort to block me. Yesterday you, Mr. Dickwad of the Day,…
Weekend food tip: backdoor burritos
I’m a big believer that supper time should be after 9pm. For night owls like me late night food is key, so I was beyond pumped to hear of another addition to the city’s backdoor food scene. Cantina Mexicana agrees with my love of after hours snacking and has started up Backdoor Burritos on Thursday,…
The Chickenburger flies the coop
Lovers of The Chickenburger who waited with bated breath for the arrival of it’s downtown location last spring: you’ve got a few days to get your last fix. The restaurant’s owner Mickey MacDonald has announced that he’ll be shutting down the Queen Street diner on December 1, in preparation for it’s demolition before the year’s…
See it all this Saturday at Sad Rad
Here’s where you should be on Saturday, November 24 (at 9pm with 6 spare dollars). Such a wide sampling of wonderful talent, sodas, couches, arcade games, pals in my favourite place in the city, Sad Rad (5820 Young Street). Don’t miss this please. It’s a crazy mix of genres, which rarely happens to this degree.…

Gimme some Grimsmo
If you pop your head into downtown boutique J&R Grimsmo (1533 Barrington Street), chances are you’ll be greeted by Jessy Lacourciere or Rachael Grant, or maybe even both of them. The longtime friends and stylish minds behind the elegant-meets-adorable shop recently celebrated one year in the retail biz, and Grant says so far, so good.…
How could you end it this way, my love?
Years ago, recently after being legal—I needed a drink on a Thursday night. I discovered that a certain gay bar hosted an “Anything goes talent competition.” It was love at first showtune, and I gave my heart to the two beautiful and effortlessly hilarious hosts. I was heartbroken to discover abruptly that the show would…
“Nothing you should feel bad about”
Where do I even start. Was it so crazy of me to assume you would have told me you had a girlfriend? You coming home with me from the bar Thursday implied to me you were single, but apparently that has to be clarified now. It’s been a year since we broke up and I’m…
This Is What Happens Next
I wager that Daniel MacIvor needs twenty hours of sleep to recover from each 90-minute performance Of This Is What Happens Next. He’s an actor that leaves nothing in the tank, a full-out, full-on force of nature. What Happens Next is a one man-show was never supposed to happen. MacIvor gave up this type of…
Taxi fares
I am a driver in Dartmouth and just found out how the new fares are to be implemented. Remember the new rates are decided by CITY COUNCIL and NOT CAB DRIVERS. Bridge Toll: Currently bridge fares are charged to the customer both ways. The new system will only allow us to charge one way and…
Poor guy
You were totally looking forward to meeting my friend until you saw what he looked like. He’s a sweet guy who would have treated you like a princess but you wouldn’t even give him a chance because “you’ve always gone out with better looking men.” OK, looks-wise, you may have the upper hand (compared to…
Ain’t no party like a jewellery party
Tori Poynton is having a party, and you’re invited. The Australian-turned-Haligonian jewellery designer is throwing the fifth consecutive jewellery party for her line ToriXO; its a soiree where you can try on pieces from her 2012 collection, Lock, (as well as older favourites) and see how lovely they look on you. And then, give your…
Love thy self
To the two women in Dartmouth Crossing who stopped to check out the lingerie model at the plus-size ladies store and remarked “Do you think the women who shop here think they could feel beautiful even with a bra like that? Come on! Look what size they’d be!” I wish I’d been more on my…
Not only can’t we ever be friends
But I fucking loathe every single thing about you. You are a damn hypocrite! Oh, and here’s the definition if you are confused by the big word: 1. A person who puts on a false appearance of virtue and/or 2. A person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. —Yeah,…
Paint the town red, white and local
The Uncommon Group is dousing the Black Friday spirit in red and white. In celebration of buying local it’s announced that tomorrow, the day of Black Friday bargain bonanza in the US, all Uncommon shops will have a whole whack of deals. They’re call it Red, White and Local Friday. Uncommon Kids offers 75 percent…
More Marquee
This year’s Halifax Pop Explosion had many of us stumbling around the ol’ Marquee again (or was it your first time?), marveling through the partying about how useful a good larger to mid-sized venue is for shows like that, and how nice it would be if it were a permanent thing. The good news is…
Beer battered
After so much controversy about the local breweries sponsoring community events, I noticed in the news that one brewery has decided not to give funds to HRM events any longer. The main complaint was that the sponsor’s advertising could be seen by and even be targeting the fine children and teenagers of Halifax. Are you…
RANS’ besto restos
We’re a wee bit late on this, but the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia gave out there annual awards last week. The event was paired with what sounds like an insane meal; each of the five courses were prepared by a different local chef! So, without further rambling, the winners were (drumroll, please): Best Green…
Pretty woman on the #52
Shoulder-length brown hair, leather jacket, brown boots, and stunning eyebrows. You are beautiful, and you deserve to know it. You made my ride home good by simply existing. —Sleepyhead
Who do I have to fuck??
Just wondering: How do I get some attention for the big beautiful balls I make for Christmas decorations? I have sent out press releases for my papier mache ornaments that I sell at a certain market near the water in Halifax and a certain gallery in the Hydrostone. I am local, I buy my supplies…
It’s all about an asshole
To the evil business owner who claims it is all about you—it is really all about ripping you off! It is really hard to find work around here—I was promised a full time job with benefits… when payday came around I was not paid. This went on for over three months before I called it…
You have the 10th most powerful army in the world—they have nothing
OK, this Is not a racist rant. I just want to know why a certain nation with the 10th most powerful military in the world (plus nukes) can blockade and bomb the fuck out of a group of people that really have little more than stones and spears to fight with. This certain nation lives…
Mixtape mania
We can still stake a claim on ol’ Ryan Hemsworth as a local treasure, right? Sure we can, especially when he’s giving away free downloads of all his 2012 mixtapes on Twitter. That’s a lot of listening! Click and enjoy.

Top 3 restauants of 2012: Ace Burger Company
There’s an almost elegant simplicity to what father and son team Leo and George Christakos, are doing with Ace Burger—the bar burger joint feels retro, but is also very forward-thinking. While the other new burger shops in town have all taken on the hip fast food models of chains like Five Guys and Shake Shack,…

They toured across Canada, made 18-hour road trips to…

When Roxanne Smith found an autograph book from 1937 in an antique store given to someone with the promise to stay in touch, Smith’s curiosity (Did they stay in contact?

Three songs from the Yarmouth band’s two EPs appear with revisions on this debut full-length along with eight new ones.

Say yes to ConsentFest
From Todd Akin’s ridiculous but wildly publicized “legitimate rape” theory to the ongoing global war on women’s rights, there has never been a better time for a conference like ConsentFest to grab hold of Haligonian hearts.

A Fine Balance
“It feels new in a lot of ways,” says Penelope Jackson about Grassmarket’s new album You Are for the Ocean. “I think this is even more of a departure from the traditional musical structures we placed around our music before. We’re still using traditional [elements] but we also use electric stuff and we’re leaning towards…
Crystal Castles
My reservations about electro-pop stem from the genre’s reluctance to offer anything beyond chilly synths or a detached melodic sheen. With its first two records, Crystal Castles subverted this formula by humanizing its songs with distraught shrieking and an unfettered adventurous spirit. This style continues on the band’s latest, III, albeit with less vigor and…
Improv Club
After Panos Giannoulis played in the rock band Their Majesties, he was drawn to a different sound. “I gravitated to jazz music, free-improvized music,” he says. That led to the change of pace with PANOS, and a debut album that has more of a dream-pop feel, though that wasn’t necessairly his goal. “I just had…

NOMAD GOURMET Rolling into downtown Halifax in late August, Nick Horne and his colourful restaurant on wheels shook up the public’s perception of what street food is, and can be.

Grassmarket

Positivity, devotion and frolics with nature are impressions Grassmarket leave,…
