Unhappy Re: Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

we travelled to NS to check it out in 2007...we found Halifax boring,untidy and industrial.....could be any where in the world,nothing special....even the ocean front was pretty grim...we looked at Chester and Mahone Bay and liked them and would have thought about settling there,but poor amenities for our kids etc,looked at Lunenburg and Bridgewater,okay as small communities go but lack of amenities again......back to Halifax,trawled around the new developments in the lakes area's and found them soulless and clinical.....everyone has their preferences,but only plus side we could see was that if money was tight then NS might be ok.....we spent time in ontario and now in West Van which seems goodish...............

Hamilton Ontario is highly industrialized. Sudbury was highly industrialized but the industry left giving it the air of a post-Thatcher mining town (or, for you, a post-Beecham railway town). In this regard Halifax compares favourably.

Let me go all out then. I enjoyed the bar scene in Halifax, being partial to squiddly-diddly music, and I found the locals to be friendly, albeit in a "please don't follow me home" kind of way.
