This goes out to the person who seemed to have had tunnel vision on the day they chose to open their business. Did you not notice the bars and other restaurants RIGHT BESIDE and near your establishment? Did you not notice that most of downtown is a slew of bars? I’m not excusing drunken behavior but I certainly wouldn’t choose to have a business smack dab in them middle of fuckery. That’s like those people who choose to live in the city and complain about the noise. None of the establishments (or that divided one in particular) are breaking any laws. In fact, they get inspected and checked quite often and haven’t had any issues for a while. Move to the hydrostone where a lot of the artsy fartsy types live and where there aren’t so many dumb drunk congregations of people. Or maybe you could strike a deal with the bars that they have to hose down the areas you share after some rough nights like I see some bars doing on my morning commutes. If the crowds of people are preventing people from getting into your place, call the police. —Observant Patron

Pissing in a doorway *is* illegal.
Are you saying anyone living near a bar should accept drunks doing all this fuckery?
I hope to shit you’re not going to law school with that.
just trying to keep everything straight in my head, is this what you mean op? http://thechronicleherald.ca/Metro/1264384…
Yeah, the last thing we want are arty farty boutiques getting in the way of drunken university dicks.
Yeah! Art is fuckin gay!!!!!!! Beer! Pussy! Football!……….fart noise
I don’t really know what a solution would be here. The police said they were going to have more of a presence down there which is probably going to deter people from pissing and shitting everywhere in that area at least for a little bit. I just don’t see why people like to blame bars for things people do when they leave. Probably because it’s impossible to find out who pissed on what where, the morning after and the bar is the only person they can point at. There are a lot of people out there who are assholes even without alcohol. They’re ruining it for everyone. If the bar was giving people dollar drinks or something else they’re not supposed to do then I can see the point but apparently they’re not doing that.
I’m going to leave a big stinky turd in front of the Sobey Building. Maybe puke in front of Loyola too….ah never mind, you guys probably wouldn’t notice, it’d be business as usual over there.
Actually Mel, they have a “Tray O Beer” deal, mentioned in the article.
I wonder how many of the pissers are from the artsy fatsy school.
*** fartsy. Mod can you make it that one can edit after posting.
They probably don’t serve absinthe by the pitcher…
Halifax is a drinkin town and a student town..
This person is probably fighting a losing battle. I would never open a business here especially something like an art gallery. I kinda agree with the bitch, the owner should have picked a better location.
guess you must be talking of a certain art place. oh well, maybe the drunken bums are being art critics, by pissing and whatever on her steps.
there’s a bar there?
really?
It’s only been there since they FOUNDED HALIFAX…..
I think this has some merit… as much as chicas walking home alone at night.
agreed, you shouldn’t HAVE TO put up with it… but you will.
Time and time again…. because people are assholes.
especially these 4 pisshead tween bitches on the bus yesterday….
but I digress since the ol bus has been raged on enough ’round these parts.
I dunno guys, the premises of an Art College mightn’t exactly be the worst place to open an Art Gallery.
ok, I was wrong on that one…
but still,… it’s been there since the 70’s.
when did your art gallery open?
For over a century there were whores lining Hollis St. as well, and then they wanted to clean it up and put condos in for old people and office types. See any whores on Hollis or hanging around the Barrington end around the train station now, do ya?
Saying ‘it’s always been there’ is something a directionless mayor would say….
Put a large canvas in the doorway and let ’em create a fucking masterpiece.
Jackson Puke-Up!
Apparently that drink special didn’t break the law because of the actual amount of alcohol it is. Like you have to charge a certain amount per so many ounces or whatever, so they must use smaller glasses those little sneaks!
And where are those hookers now, Cranky? On Windmill Road. Right in my back yard, just like everything else that has been deemed too undesirable for the folks downtown. Prostitution is illegal unlike alcohol consumption, so it’d be harder to sweep under the rug.
Also Halifax without bars = not Halifax. People come here to eat and drink, not look at art. OK, I’m generalizing, but people go to that particular part of town to eat and drink and have been for years and they have a right to, unlike those who used to frequent Hollis in an attempt to illegally sell sex.
Just cuz someone wants to open a business in that environment the environment shouldn’t change. I don’t think this owner is a very good business person.
I’d like to go to an art gallery, I like art. I won’t go to this place because it’s in an inappropriate location.
sometimes i see people that look like sex sellers, but i never presume

Innapropriate location

Next to an art college of some reknown, in a historic plaza, where tourists stroll.
Yeah. The gallery owner is *In-Sane!*
Whoever says this isn’t an “art town” has their head up their beer glasshole. 🙂
If you want to stop people from pissing in your doorway……bright lights! and mirror like glass.
Contract with a Nascad student who works in sheet metal to do an installation of steel plates, 2 feet high on the front of your gallery. Hook them up to a 12 volt car battery. Install a video surveillance camera. Show the ensuing hilarious footage to your friends and family over the holidays.
Right, it’s beside a art school, OK, touchee, but she has a problems with students exhibiting typically student behavior in the area. I went to Technical Arts school to study Audio Engineering. The studio was not right beside the school, or right beside a bar. Now we know why.
Just because it’s believable that young, drunken arseholes, away from home for the first time would act like drunken arseholes, doesn’t mean others should have to gleefully accept pee and puke in front of their gallery/store/whatevs.
We all have to share space with others, and curtail behaviours that are damaging/illegal/whatevs. Just because they drink doesn’t mean we all have to pay for it. Otherwise, everyone on that plaza but the Schitt Crow would have to fold up and move away.
Meh. It’s a big reason I’ve hated the bar scene forever.
PG, that’s because some of them just plain give it away. LOL.
“them up to a 12 volt car battery”
It won’t work.
Don’t buy local….there, problem solved.
Damnation! I had all kinds of evil visions of “Don’t whiz on the electric fence”
dear idiot drinkers, Beware!
In Calgary, the predecessor to the Red Mile was a bar strip on 11th Avenue S.W. known as Electric Avenue, where thousands of Flames fans celebrated during the 1986 and 1989 playoff runs. Concerns by the City about the violence encouraged by having so many bars in such close proximity ultimately led to the shut down of Electric Avenue in the early 1990s.
Imo, Halifax can and will ‘pull the plug’ on Haligoonians if they can’t settle down and behave themselves.
GV: It worked for Michael Vick’s dogs… do we need a bigger battery?
do not speak his name, fair princess http://theskinnymomblog.files.wordpress.co…
It’s not the size of the battery, its the voltage. 12volts isn’t enough to juice the junk.
I think 24Volts is enough because in some cases you can weld with 24volts, although it is difficult. But the current that a battery can deliver could kill them.
It would be way better to hook the 12volt battery to a cattle fence charger, then the pissing pisser will get get about 5000-15000volts but at a much lower and safer current. I think Arincess Puta sells them for only a few hundred dollars.
If you could get your hands on the door matt for an electric door, ….you know the kind that they sometimes have at grocery stores?
Anyways, its basically just a fancy ‘switch’ so you could wire it up to a flood lamp and a car horn so anyone tried to take a pizz or shet is going to have a hard time finding some privacy.
I heard of a wedding prank, where the door mat was placed under the mattress . So every time the bride and groom jumped into bed, the neighbors came knocking on the door. An unlikely story, but funny to think about.
I like the cut of your jib GV!
And PG… sorry, but sometimes you have to speak the Devil’s name in order to fight him
leave kay out of this, rosie. it has a way of popping up now and then. ttfn, when did you wanna get the clowns movie, when are you in town. send me an email , you know the addy i think?
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice…

“Look away Marion, whatever happens don’t open your eyes!”
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
see ya soon rosie, i am a wet lame duck this morning
What did you do?
nothing, i’m just sore in me joints and i’m wet from riding, but hay, it’s warm http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_B9Uw4Iq-ors/TC4g…
Eh. Just because it happens, doesn’t mean it should.
It’s pretty damn sad that someone can’t open a business around these parts without worrying about it being destroyed by a bunch of drunken idiot students.
Putting more cops out there is going to solve nothing, either, because we’ve clearly seen how competent the cops are around these parts.
Ohh noses Ivan….the evil has been unleashed =O

*Sorry Brendon*
There was a panhandler in a white & blue fright wig squatting in the rain outside Barstucks today. Had a kitten that couldn’t have been more than 3 months old. FML. >: (
10 wks and so well behaved already, i would expect nothing less from rosie^^ she’s a she admiral and i’m aunt painey
I don’t know, maybe I’m old-fashioned but I do believe you should be able to set up shop without drunken idiots taking a shit on your front door. Maybe it’s just me.
They should set up cameras all around the bar districts for a number of reasons, these situations included. If the perpetrators are identified, they can be charged.
I hate to sound like an old-timer but I am so I’ll say it. I used to get drunk when I was much younger as well but I never crapped on anybody’s property. What the hell is with that?
Why is nothing being done about the shitting? Either by business owners and their cameras or by the fucking cops. If i wanted to live in new jersey, i’d live there.
I can’t find any reference in the article to public defecation being part of the problem but perhaps concerned parties like Iso-Kay can go on poop-patrol to verify this for themselves.
In the absence of police presence, one must trust the inebriated to conduct themselves responsibly! We can see where that leads…not everyone is up to the task. It is not just in Halifax that businesses next to bars have to face that reality. If the business owners in question thought they’d be magically exempt from this because they are located near an art school, more the fool are they as they have found out the opposite is true.
I see the suckster enjoys life on the edge. He who dare speaketh the unmentionable…haha!
That’s EXACTLY what I look like Col.! ‘Cept the armband is a dog!
Woof! (Phoenix Skye sez thanks Aunty Painey and Uncle Bear)
And thanks for the ceroots and beverage PG!
*cheroots
rosie, you got a new puppy, you gonna have to come by the suckster’s castle sometime.not very old. what is the exact breed? a uniform, french maid me hopes, pant, pant.
She’s a pittie/boxer/golden retriever mix
No such luck LS… but it does come with a baton and a pair of handcuffs lol!
I’ll be in my bunk. >: (
Have a good rest Col. ;D
Yeah, rest. That’s it.
Time to feed the corbies and SOBova. Mmmmm peppermint mocha frappuchino.
Llllaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhh!
we’re swillin java and gonna hang laundry…bite the ass bitches^^
Rawk Rawk! Rawk ‘n Roll High School
(God I miss the Ramones)
I think the OP has got it wrong. If I were a business owner that opened up a daytime business near bars, I would expect to have some mess to clean up when I opened shop in the mornings, knowing what goes on downtown at night,but I wouldn’t expect to be encountering drunks getting in the way of patrons in the early afternoon.
Students are lining up at 9am to get in the establishments and are drunk by 2pm. Why is this considered acceptable behaviour? Just because they’re young and in university, out on their own for the first time? That’s twisted reasoning. Using that logic, no daytime business downtown should be surprised to have drunks coming into their place of business causing a fuss and pushing real patrons away. That’s a sad comment on Halifax if we think that’s okay.
OP, nothing in your bitch should be interpreted as implying for any business, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights of other businesses, groups, or persons.
For that reason, I have to disagree with you.
First off, the bar in question sucks ass! Hate it. It’s a hole. A shit pit. I don’t care if it IS a Halifax landmark and is synonymous with the city’s bar scene. Service sucks, food sucks, and the whole pretentious aire that it exudes; like I should some how feel priviledged and honoured to have been allowed entry into this famous icon of the Halifax bar scene…pffft! Fuck you. Anyway, that’s just my opinion.
Secondly, the way I see it, the only way that this will get fixed is if they take a page from our friends across the pond and install CCTV cameras in the area, record the fucktards acting like…well, fucktards and then charge them if there is something illegal going on. It worked at Pizza Corner. And before you start flaming me, I’m not so narrowminded as to think that the CCTV’s at Pizza Corner fixed everything. That’s unrealistic. I’m sure there are still the occasional tussle that happens here but nothing like how it used to be. I think installing CCTV at any locations where there is a higher than average chance of asshattery going on, (like at a row of bars or clubs), is a capital idea, Big Brother be damned. You wanna act like a fuckwad, you drunken dick?…Smile for the birdie!
Now, let the flaming ensue.
Is it wrong that I found that uniform somewhat arousing, Comrade Ivanski? ‘Cause if it is, then I don’t want to be right. 😛
LMFAO – B-boy. Asian Girls and Nazi cosplay. I know what I’m getting for Christmas.
Giggity.
Yipes!
you did look quite dishy rosie
A former Gulag inmate just paid a visit with his retirement present; a 10 week old black lab puppy. What a sweetie. She loved my watchband – nice and sweaty.
Something about such lovely innocence in this dank, pee-pee soaked heck-hole makes me want to slit my throat from sheer joy.
it’s the little things admiral…woof woof http://arrogantass.files.wordpress.com/201…
