RATS freaked me out and lessened the quality of my downtown Halifax experience. All the construction going on and tearing down of all buildings is making the city rat infested...and Halifax folks are suffering "a bit" of an infestation. I thought it was super cute till I read the article which coincidently came out on CBC.CA today. So I only give 2.5 stars to this city which should be a 4. The pier is really nice and the port rocks, but the restoration of many of the buildings are far from authentic, there isn't enough " cute" factor to the shops which are widely commercial. Missing - a hip clientele to make it worth your while...they are selling something they don't yet have...and of course the rats! However, to see are the great views, the cool ships and the young crowds obviously trying to make something happen and for this potential...it could be a 3.5 in 5 yrs from now...barring the rats of course. 😊
ps. pardon the overpunctuation in this blog post. I never said you were going to be reading The Economist type material.
