Who Has Been to Halifax, Nova Scotia?

Probably like the majority of OTers is that I've only flown over it on the way to Europe.
Although I know folks who have been and they really liked that whole area.

I hear they have nice trailer parks in Nova Scotia.

Worst case Ontario, he'll see some great scenarios.

Had to go fix a -130 there a few years back... Beautiful town.

Spent a week there in 2010. I was on a ship that docked there. British ship and German ship docked on the same pier. During the World Cup. It was awesome

Not a reason to go, but a cool factoid:
(About a hour from Halifax)

Our Splendid Replica of the Grand-Pré Deportation Cross The Acadian Memorial is the first of several international sites to erect a replica of the Grand-Pré Deportation Cross. The original Deportation Cross, near the Grand-Pré National Historic Site in Nova Scotia, marks the site of embarkation of over 2,000 Acadian farmers and tradesmen and their families in 1755. A series of commemorative cross monuments will be designed and unveiled in Atlantic Canada, the United States, France, England, the Caribbean and Quebec to mark those sites where Acadians landed after the Deportation.

There are a few of these around the world including one in St. Martinville near the Evangeline Oak at the Acadian museum on Bayou Teche to memorialize the Acadian Diaspora. Pretty cool to check out if you are ever over there and have time to kill.

Yes. Cool town.

Pro Tip.

Bring good shoes.

In Halifax, if you're walking, it's uphill or downhill.

Damned place is basically a rock jutting out of the ocean.

Been there a couple of times. Some good bars and lobster. The Lower Deck, Salty's, McKelvie's are what I remember. It's got some history about it if you're into that.
