Big Day Downtown (Part IV): MEC, Just Us, & Freak Lunchbox
Submitted by Steve's Personal Blog on 09.1.10 at 6:39am.
Going into my last Big Day Downtown, I had $66.75. Coming out, I am left with a single cent that I am afraid I will be unable to spend. Even if I could find something that only cost a penny, I doubt I could buy it with a Visa gift card. Let's run down the day's purchases :)

Forget the symptoms, fight the disease
Submitted by Halifax Magazine blog on 08.5.10 at 8:28am.
HRM Council met last night and discussed the issue of its size. To no one’s surprise, Council decided it was fine just the way it was.
