Oh Haligonian Drivers, thank you so much for the truly respectful way you treat pedestrians. It's a reflection of the warm and welcoming nature of the city, and, as a native Ontarian, I use it to illustrate one of the reasons I love Halifax.

Ignore idiots who post about this in the bitch column - perhaps they should just stay alert on the road. —Jay Walker

To all of the people who went and listened to that girl by the ramp play last Saturday at the Farmer's Market on Lower Water Street after I asked them to: Thanks—Balance

When was the last time you laughed out loud? —You do me proud HRM

To the guy playing Radiohead covers at the Clay Cafe friday night: you have an amazing voice and are very talented! It made me so happy when you played my favorite song Fake Plastic Trees and listening to you while I painted was so enjoyable. You weren't half bad to look at either. :) —Girl that stared

Whoever recognized the poor ratio of cyclists who go to Mary's to bike racks there >> 12864189264:0, then took the initiative and made your own: you are clever and great.

You even wrapped an old tire tube around it so we don't scratch our bikes on the steel. Brilliant!—Garlic Home Fries

That was the best present ever and on Fathers day too, when the presents should be yours. You are the bestest! <3 Love!—JB

"Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men; We always are ready, steady, boys, steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again."

Happy 100th folks. You've helped make Halifax what it is and you are definitely one of the cooler things about this town. Thank You All. —Admiral Ivan

For the occasional scoop that's not your own, I salute you. —Dog Lover

Are people always this nice?! I am still amazed at how friendly and kind people in this city are. From offering to lend us tables and surfboards, to giving directions or pumping up a flat bike tire, this city rocks!

Thanks for making a new Haligonian feel a little less homesick, and a lot more welcome. —BC Chick

To the Guy in Red on Ahern who managed to save a driver from driving away with his drink on the roof of his car:

You walked by just in time to grab the drink and pass it to him through the window.

That was awesome. You made my day. And you probably made his as well. —The Girl Across the Street in Turquoise
