Halifax Magazine interview: Why pay more?
One of the standard complaints about living on the East Coast is that comparatively speaking, we don’t make the same amount of money that peers in other bigger cities do. Alison DeLory interviewed a number of professionals around the city of Halifax, including me, to get our opinions on the matter. In every city you [...]
2010: Change is gonna come
It’s that time of year again when people around the world start thinking about setting goals and trying to alter their lives for the better. I’m not one for new year’s resolutions. That being said, I hope to accomplish some big things in 2010. Why this year? Call me superstitious but it’s my year. No, [...]
Daydream believer
Has anyone else been having trouble sleeping lately? I don’t know if it’s the weather, the time change or what but I feel like I’ve been on auto-pilot this past week due to lack of z’s. As a result, random thoughts have come to into my head. Sort of like the following: AliasGrace: I think [...]
Where in the world is AliasGrace?
Miss me? Yeah, I know I was supposed to post here a couple more times last week. No, I didn’t think my post about pickled beets was full of so much awesomeness that it would keep you entertained for a week. So, what’s up? The long and the short of it: life got busy. I [...]
Dear Halifax
by Charmaine Dymond Dear Halifax: You know, I like you. I do. In fact, I *love* you. And honestly, this really is a love letter to you. But before I start getting all mushy and sentimental, I need to get a few things off my chest. Bear with me for a moment, OK? I mean, [...]
Hello Ottawa: Friends in new places

Hello Cold Lake, Alberta
By Justine MacDonald Jets screaming overhead. Helicopter blades cutting the air. These were my lullabies where I came from. Friends and neighbours came and went. That was life on a military base. Newcomers were often heard complaining about the lack of things to do. Wide eyes and a slack jaw were the usual responses. Nothing [...]
Dear Dublin
By Queenie Dear Dublin, My grey, brooding, dirty, old forever town. The country bus spewed me out one Sunday night and never found me again. Trinity’s grey walls encircled me. Enough books in Berkeley’s library, even for me. Unlike him and old Ed Burke, we founded our enlightenment in the soft afternoon glow of a [...]
Hello London
By Alex Maine I’m not exactly the most well-travelled person but whether its business or pleasure or an unethical combination of the two, I seem to end up in the city of London. As you all know London is the capital city of England situated in the south east of the country. For a workaholic [...]
Dear Halifax
By Angela Lindsey Dear Halifax, It’s me, the “new girl.” I know, I’ve been here three years, but it still feels like I’m new in these parts. Not a day goes by that I don’t learn something new about you. Sure, I’ve gotten the general idea of things, but I’ve still got a long way [...]
