Hopefully, the Noodle Nook on Blowers Street is finally going to open after a lengthy time when nothing was visible inside the place. When I walked by yesterday, however, I noticed some actual woks inside. Maybe that means something? Originally post...

I'm surprised I'm the first one to post about this. Maybe the rest of you are still stuck in traffic. More people should do audio posts...It's very therapeutic. As you might expect, this audio is loaded with expletives. Handle with care. Originally post...

I've been thinking about the new video camera that Halifax has focused on the corner of Grafton and Blowers, "Pizza Corner" for us locals. Cameras are great for capturing all the stupid shit we do -- especially when we're drunk. And where do most drunken vid...

As I'm sure everybody here expected, I made it my mission to go out shopping on Sunday. I headed for Bayers Lake and shopped at both Futureshop and the Superstore. Futureshop was completely unprepared for how busy their store was going to be. Only one che...

Driving around today, I noticed a van beside me in traffic with 88.9 something something on the side. Unfortunately, this is another fucking classic rock station. Yes, exactly. That is exactly what Halifax needs. We have a huge shortage of classic rock s...

They are extended the public hearings on the two buildings proposed for the old tex-park site. There will be another hearing on next Tuesday, March 7th. Anyone else feel like going down and voicing an opinion? I just heard some of the opposition to these ...

Matt, Jay, and I checked out the grand opening of Sensations last night. The protesters were there in spades sporting some nice signs. There were supporters there too, which was nice to see. We waited outside in line for about 20 minutes. I'm sure they mad...

Got to meet some interesting characters tonight, including Tod Maffin, Bruce Murray, and Jeff MacArthur. Tod is travelling the country, talking to local podcasters along the way, and trying to come up with a strategy for podcasting for the CBC going forward. ...

I know we live in Nova Scotia, where the weather can change in an instant. So why isn't it changing now? How much fucking water can possibly be up there? Surely we've seen it all by now. It's been raining all fucking weekend...and not just drizzling, I mea...

I ventured out into my neighbourhood today. Many things have changed since I've been gone. I took some pictures using my jizz-jar. Click inside and we can walk through them. 1. It looks like the ol' Copper Penny is getting a new facade. I don't think...

There is a new potential law on the books of the Nova Scotia government. Halifax city council voted overwhelmingly in favour of recommending the "Safe Streets Act" to the province allowing the police to arrest aggressive panhandlers. Click here for the CBC...

Tanya and I went downtown on Saturday night, to the Seahorse. I'm fairly certain we weren't supposed to be there because the place was not have as crowded as I would have expected. Not very crowded at all. Turns out we crashed some sort of EMI executive's r...

Every year, I think about trying to come up with a list of things that somebody can do free on their birthday. Stuff like Baskin-Robbins free ice cream or lunch at Mother Tuckers and things like that. But every year, I forget until it's too late to do anythi...

I am sitting in what used to be commonly called an “Internet Café”, but what are now commonly referred to as “Cafés”; more specifically, Uncommon Grounds on Argyle Street (interestingly enough, that URL didn't show up until the second page of search results fo...

This guy has some pretty good photos of the fire that ravaged that apartment building in Fairview on Sunday. Photo by Shaun Lowe Originally posted on Tuesday, 2005-02-22 at 10:17:44.

I was reading in the Halifax Herald today that due to renovation of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and Sackville Landing park, they may be tearing down the Wave. That sculpture that you climbed on as a kid (or maybe still) may soon be no more. I get w...

Sometimes I just don't understand what goes on in the minds of politicians. From things as big as the "war on terror", to things in Canada like the sponsorship scandal, to right here at home with the commissioning of a $65k study for find out that there's tra...

They are finally tearing down the decrepit, condemned, old parking garage on the corner of Granville and Sackville Streets. It's been a long time coming, some would say. It's stood there for a number of years, useless; a shadow of its former self. Perhaps i...

They couldn't have picked a better day for a transformer explosion: Sunny, 25° I'm standing by the window in my office on the 12th floor of a downtown office building and I hear a huge BOOM and then all the power goes out. Fantastic! I'm very happy that V...

Ok, so I'm driving home and the street one block down from me is roped off with police tape. Cop cars all around. You'd think, "WTF?!", right? Me too. Naturally, I pull over and walk back, camera in hand to see if I can find out what the hell is going on. ...
