What’s wrong?
Lack of landscaping, Agricola Street liquor store.
Who’s responsible?
Rick Perkins, NSLC spokesperson, 450-6752.
REMARKS
“It’s not our responsibility,” Perkins says of the landscaping, and
points us to a Toronto corporation that manages the building. “God
knows we spend enough on that building.” So the provincial
representation in a struggling neighbourhood can’t spend a couple of
hundred bucks on some flowers and shrubs to spruce up the place. Got
it.

Why not just privatize the stupid liquor stores in Nova Scotia?
I’ll buy a liquor store and plant all the foliage you could ever dream of!
Was there ever landscaping in front of this store? A few yuppie businesses open in the area, and suddenly the local places that have been there for years are expected to follow suite?
who gives a flying crap? i want low liquor prices, not more money spent on decorations.
Don’t blame it on the new businesses Murder Junkie. No doubt the issue is something thought up by Tim or another member of The Coast staff as they get desperate for stuff to print in this newspaper.
Perhaps they could start writing about the good that actually occurs in this region instead of making up negative, non-existant issues.
