To the ignorant bastards leaving the Mooseheads game on Sunday: LEARN TO USE A CROSSWALK. Go when the sign says go, stop when it says stop. Do NOT run into the street as a huge horde, and then get mad at the people driving who want to GO WHEN THE LIGHT IS GREEN. Also, please don’t hit my car. It’s not my fault you can’t wait a minute to cross the street. —Get Out of My Way Fuck Ass

Oh Gawd! They actually hit your car on the way by? A disgrace to jaywalkers…
obviously they need to take your course, captain^^
Count your blessings that us Maritimers are so stultified from living on Keiths and re-fried dreams that we couldn’t be bothered to trash our downtown, unlike some cosmopolitan, diverse, progressive, happenin’ urban centers I could name.
OP go shove it up your arrogant arse! You have 10,000+ people exiting a building, what do you expect? I’m surprised the police didn’t do their usual block the intersection to allow all the people to exit freely! Bet you would have been super pissed if that had happened!
lucky for you, it wasn’t fans of this. they leave big dents http://media.metronews.topscms.com/images/…
I saw some Dicksmack (wearing an HRM jacket and talking on his cell) today slothing across Barrington at Duke against a red light approx. 4:45pm (rush hour). A car coming down Duke lays on the horn and Fuckface has the nerve to give the driver the finger.
WTF is wrong with people these days?
I sympathize with the OP. It can be annoying when people don’t follow society’s agreed upon rules. However I would like them to ask themselves, if it was them exiting the game, would they have waited patiently when they had the do not walk sign, or just gone along with “the horde.” My guess is the latter. I assume you would prefer “the horde” not happen in the first place so that you wouldn’t have the (no doubt miniscule) guilt of being a part of it. Then again, maybe I assume too much, and you really would stand there, like a saint, glowering at everyone walking past you. I don’t know.
You’ve got a ragin’ flood of spewing testosterone and you’re pissed off that they crossed against the light? Give me a fucking break – you should have turned on your radio, hummed a few tunes and waited until the scrotumized hoards rolled over you.
THat is the absolute worse place for a sports arena.
No parking, no way to vacate the building in a hurry without blocking every street on all sides.
Instead of a new Convention centre, they need to incorporate that venue into a bigger Convention Centre & build us a 20,000 + seat arena in Shannon Park. At least its right by a bridge to Halisux & Circumfrential highway, & it is close to Windmill for those heading, Downtown Dartmouth or left to Bedford/Sackville !
It’s just the beginning of the end of civilized society OP. Get used to it. I know I have.
It’s Thursday and you’re complaining about something on Sunday? Lame. You must be miserable, OB.
you mean someone actually goes to moosehead games, whoda thunk it?
this is what you’ll need for driving downtown, not the whole thing, just the front part.

You’re a fucking retarded shit-stain.
The law doesn’t only apply when it’s convenient.
OP, if you’d mowed down 6 or 7 going through the intersection, you could have pumped up the city’s coffers with all the tickets handed to the douche-bag ‘horde of lemmings’.
Next time aim for the kids and pedal to the metal.
You get more points for them because they’re small and agile.

While I agree with your first statement of there not being enough parking around the Metro centre and that it’s a bitch for both pedestrians and cars to try and both exit and manouevre without anybody getting killed, I got to say your statement above, More, really shows that you live outside of town. A 20,000 seat arena in Shannon Park is a HORRIBLE idea, and it’s a horrible idea precisely BECAUSE of the reasons you stated. It’s TOO close to the MacKay bridge, the Circ and Windmill. Can you imagine the clusterfuck of traffic that would take place if there was any sort of event, (sports, concert, etc), held here?? It’s bad enough at rush hour, trying to get across that bridge, try throwing a junior hockey playoff game starting at 7:00pm into the mix. Forget about it. They need to build an arena farther OUTSIDE the city. Dartmouth Crossing has got tons of room or they could even make it at Exhibition Park out in Beechville. Tons of room, easy access, and they could incorporate the existing building spaces into the new arena.
I know the thought of having a nice new multi-use arena downtown on the waterfront like so many other metropoliton cities looks pretty and appealing, but the difference is that most of these cities’ arenas have been around for generations and development was planned/incorporated AROUND these stadiums. Allowances were made for traffic flow, pedestrian volumes, public transit access, etc. To just up and plop one down in the middle of an already poorly designed and laid out city is just asking for chaos.
Good point Avast. Dartmouth Crossing would be the ideal place for an arena.
God(s) forbid they put an arena in the downtown core, the heart of the goram city.
avast – Exhibition Park isn’t in Beechville, it’s down the Prospect Road. There’s fuck all in Beechville except abandoned shanties, druggies and Beechville Estate where most of the druggies deal and live.
You can’t use Shannon Park, I’ve already booked that as the new ghetto for ALL public housing filth, winos and panhandlers. Friday night is Gladiator fights between the SGR panhandlers and the meth-heads, winner gets a job or a shower, which ever comes first.
