We were psyched to be given the opportunity to participate
in the Halifax Downtown Business Commission’s Big Day Downtown promotion. We
were given a $150 Visa gift card and let loose to spend our monies in Haliwood’s
downtown then blog about it. There was just one condition, we were given three words which
had to describe our experience; our words were Thrilling, Playful and
Satisfying. Our own conditions were that we had to do something different that
none of us had ever done before or any of the other bloggers participating. With a
lot of debating the idea to spend a night out rather than the day was born.
I'm in love. The secret is out, I love my city. Halifax is a unique and wonderful city with surprises around every corner.
What I love about my city is they way the old and new have blended together to create a one of the most beautiful cityscapes I've ever seen. Have you ever been to the look out on top of the citadel? Do it! Seriously, it's worth the climb.
One thing that's always fascinated me was the harbour. Everywhere you look it's old mixed with new. My favourite part of the boardwalk is the area around Bishop's landing next to Sugah!. One moment you're looking a multi-million dollar energy efficient building the next you're looking at a 200 year old fortified island in the harbour.
