Halifax Street Life     I have been up in Halifax Nova Scotia this week, speaking at a conference.  Walking around this small, compact city, where the downtown lies mostly on a steep hill heading to the harbor, I have been struck by the vitality of the street life.  This evening, there were dozens of groups of men and women hanging out on the sidewalk, mostly at the entrances of  bars.  It gave the city an open, lively, even tropical feel—even though it is cold.   They were all smoking, which they can’t do inside.   8:09:17 PM   comment []
