After moving away I was back in town this weekend for a bachelorette party. Halifax can have some snobs but none of them were out this weekend! I was so thrilled by the positive reactions of everyone we approached on the street to make the night memorable for our friend.

Man who ate the meatball, man who wore the moustache, and most of all man who sang the pretty song, you guys were so great! Halifax and its people are special. It's great to be reminded of that. —Would you eat this meatball?

to that girl, sitting next to me, you know... the one who lives with me, I love you, I'm so glad we decided to get an apartment together, you are my world, my one, my only, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, your amazing smile... and well... that amazing bum of yours. —Your Boo

Love the grunts (squeaks?)... —ManBlack

Today after eight and a half hours of move in's and an exhausting visit with my 18 month old nephew and the 25minute drive to Sackville, my car died.

I was completely looking forward to getting home to rest, and with my boyfriend out of town, I was stuck. I left my car parked and there was a bus!

I was anticipating a walk from the Bedford highway to my place which is bordering Bayers Lake and the 102! But there it was a bus from the Bedford highway to Lacewood, I didn't even have to wait!

I'm entirely aware that this was purely a stoke of luck not a convenience of an efficient service. Let's not get too excited!

I just wanted to express my relief after a long exhausting day of bad luck and stress. —Dead Car Commuter

This is long overdue but, I just wanted to send a big "THANK YOU" to The Coast for publishing "Love the Way We Love". All to often people waste all their time and energy on complaining about things, and no time apreciating the world around them. Life ain't that bad, people! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. —Just Happy to be Here

To the lovely man that works at Sears in HSC, You are amazing, you make my day when I see you. You always are dressed to perfection and you are always smiling. You are simply FABOOSH!

PS Your boots are the best thing about this mall without a Doubt. —Enjoying the sunshine you bring to the mall

Living in downtown has it's disadvantages, one being the drunks yelling as they walk. At around 2 this morning, one group were loud and stationary. You yelled out your apartment window SHUT UP, and they did. Thanks for doing what I wanted to do but didn't want to leave my comfy bed for. —Much Love, your sleepy neighbour

Walking up Cornwallis a couple days ago in the fog. Saw the dawgfather drive by, watched people smoking on their stoops, talking to strangers on the street, & smiled. The air smelled like the ocean & everyone was friendly. I love this neighbourhood! —RyleyHfx

Your roads were gone so you built bridges. The military came and you greeted them with open arms. I am very glad you joined the rest of us in 1949. —Bob and Sue

Dear lady,

I kind of wish you would visit my work more often. You're always so cheery, and make a point to comment on something, anything when you come through my cash, or food line up.

You've got adorable little rain boots, sparkly little nose rings, and one of the most wonderful demeanors I have ever come to witness.

My job kind of entails just getting yelled at now, when half a year ago it was about just having a fun time, and getting some very appreciative feedback from customers. I'm so glad to see my scary bosses haven't driven off all the happy folk around town.

Can't say where I work cause I'd probably have so many people mad at me, but if you know who or where this is coming from. Visit more often, even if you don't want to buy anything.

Sincerely —Lovely
