I have heard and read a lot about people who keep stomping their feet on their way out of Halifax. Well don’t let the door hit you on the way out. I bet you have also been through a lot of partners in your life based on your history of commitment issues. I am going to dig in my heals and nurture the grass on this side of the fence. Don’t expect a red carpet if you decide to come back…don’t care. —HERE TO STAY!

That’s the film industry people. Just ignore them.
Do you use your “heals” for grass fertilizer?
Haligonians are Canada’s greatest civic complainers. People born and raised here seem to think it’s some second-rate burg that they should move away from as soon as possible.
Seems to me like those of us from elsewhere don’t have such a culturally entrenched grass-is-greener complex, and realize how awesome it is here, flaws and all.
I moved here when I was 13 and have been in love with this city ever since. I have lived in other cities in that time out of circumstance but always get homesick. Mostly I miss the atlantic ocean, the pacific isn’t the same. Though this city is pretty miserable in the winter months, there’s no place I’d rather be (except for maybe a week or two in europe) during the summer.
I WILL DROWN IN SHALLOW WATER WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE OVER A POINT OF PRIDE!
This place blows.
Though I seem to love misery…
Honestly, I make about 30-40% more (plus overtime) outside of the maritimes. I know I’m not the only one either.
However, I didn’t stomp my feet on the way out and I do miss home. Well, once in a while. Halifax is the biggest little city I know and that will NEVER change.
Now, have they figured out what to do about Freak Lunchbox? lol
Halisux ….plain & simple. It’s roads are narrow lanes, made all the ‘better’ by patio’s in the summer.
Parking is a fucking joke & a bad joke at that . Its a rat infested, touristy dump.
It’s good point is….. its a tiny piece of Nova Scotia, & the rest of this Province is pretty damn great.
After 36 years in that city I moved out to the countryside, & have never been happier.
What would be a truly awesome thing for NS , is if the penninsula that city is located on sank slowly but surely beneath the waves, just enough for Citadel hill to be a small island, with a wet moat instead of the lame dry one it has now.
But not with a catastrophic loss of life, more of a Noah event, sinking slowly beneath the waves over 40 days & 40 nights. 🙂
