It’s always a little sad when progress marches on and changes the face of a city you know so well. When I go back to visit my parents on the outskirts of Houston, I can still the farms and pastures that used to be where strip malls and master planned neighborhoods now stand. While part of me misses the bucolic, rural setting, I know that I would have LOVED to have a mall that close when I was a teen living there.

This is much more urban than my imagination pictured Halifax! Why do developers always go for such big projects? They could accommodate lots of shops, hotels, and other businesses on a much smaller, more human scale in a series of smaller projects.

Okay, so I always think of this area as quaint little villages – how beautiful and modern is this place!!?? Wow!

I followed your link to the Carleton Hotel. It is true that a drink there will be a totally different thing when this new development goes ahead.

This is a different side of Halifax from what you’ve shown before. Love all that modern architecture. I’ve never been to Halifax but have longed to go since you started posting about it over the years 🙂

Thanks for the tour of “Bar Street” in Halifax. It looks like a lovely place to settle in for a drink or two!

Funny, I had always imagined Halifax as a sleepy little city – not one with such ambitious plans and shiny glass towers. You have certainly changed the picture in my mind.

I had to go back and look at my last Halifax photos and see that we didn’t get to the “bar” street! Strange for us.
