Joel Plaskett loves this town so much that he's opening his own business on Portland Street. What a meta Dartmouth moment. Soon, you'll be able to take the Dartmouth ferry into the town, and spend your pennies bumming around—at a Plaskett cafe.
Last night both Halifax Retales and allNovaScotia reported that the former location of Dartmouth second-hand clothing shop, Uptown Girl (45 Portland Street) will soon be home to a cafe, record store (more specifically Taz Records) and barbershop.
We've gotten confirmation from Plaskett's team that "it's true, but premature", so for now we'll sit back and watch the pun-times roll.
@HalifaxReTales perhaps Lightning Jolt, Brew & Brew & Brew, or Mystery and Grind? #PlaskettCafeNames

@HalifaxReTales @joelplaskett will need his own blends. The Day We Hit the Roast? Java De Da? Mocha Little Noise? #PlaskettCafeNames
