"Rob Heralds Halifax" a Halifax Travel Page by RobDavis

To me, Halifax is one of those cities that I have visited many times, yet still know little about.
I've been to Halifax countless times and know my way around pretty well, but I still always feel like an outsider when I visit. It's not that people make you feel unwelcome... far from it; it's just that I've only really spent time in the central core of the city, and have not experienced much of the surrounding areas.

I attended a small college in Nova Scotia (see my Lawrencetown Page for more info on that...) back in 1989. Every so often, we would escape the small, alcohol-free town of Lawrencetown and drive to Halifax for a little rest and relaxation. Not sure why we called it that, because it was usually not very restful or relaxing...
We drank at the liquor-dome, attended concerts, ate at nice restaurants, and did all the stuff that people do in civilization. On Sunday, however, we would return to our dreary lives in Lawrencetown.

In the last 10 years, I've visited Halifax mostly for business trips, with a few pleasure trips thrown in just for fun. I stay downtown and usually drop in at the Casino and some of the local pubs.
I always look forward to visiting Halifax.
