My friends live past the Commons, and my house is near Point Pleasant, so every night I have to walk 30-40 minutes to get home. These walks have proved to be one of the highlights of my night; whether from running into friendly strangers who wish me safe travels; or seeing whole groups of students who had never met hook up near Chebucto; or seeing a man waiting for what we thought was a dog to finish his "business" in the middle of the street (turned out to be his drunk girlfriend), Halifax is full of friendly strangers and stories. This summer has been a particularly awesome one. Thanks Halifax. —Fellow Haligonian
