Was playing in the Nova Scotia Tattoo around about then. Fun times! Would do a set at the Tattoo, know how much time before we went back on again, so we'd run across the street to the Split Crow for a triple margarita. We'd be juiced by the end of the night by the time the tattoo was over. Couldn't do that now at my age.
wow most of spring garden road has been torn down. i'm not against change but at least some of those buildings were worth keeping, imo (e.g. the brick building just past, westerly, of the original library).
We were the place on earth to live back then, everyone wanted to be what we were, health care, quality of life, cost of living, safe streets, safe neighbourhoods, we mostly shared the same culture, the same beliefs and the same values… what a shame almost none of that is true anymore.
@jordach545 could be interpreted that way, but another interpretation is "these are all the things society is telling me I must do though I don't necessarily agree with them"
There's my Halifax!!! Love the late 80's vibe, feels like I'm back with my Grandma going to McDonalds on Portland Street :)
35 years ago…. What I wouldn’t do to go back at the cost of everything I know now…
Great video. Wish there was more.
I was four, either lived just off Robie St. or already moved to Spryfield. I love my city.

What’s the first song?
Jennifer's of Nova Scotia & Lawton's are STILL in the same spots on SGR lol
I can't believe how little Scotia Square has changed
How little any of it has changed honestly. Harrington and and spring garden are easily recognizable.
Funny, I'm from Hamilton and live in Halifax, I want to stay here! Been here for three years in the north end jamming with the local vagrants.
Odd to think by 1989 I figured the good pub crawlin’ pot smokin’ times in Halifax were long gone.
It's the little things, you know? I kinda miss those big ridiculous crosswalk signs
Music?
Before Canada went to shit.

@Trigger200284 yes, and it was intentionally destroyed , sadly
The song should be taken out of the video, sounds so ridiculous and dated.
the song is great and the lyrics make sense
@@xentrix89 One of the lyrics was literally "I can hate a queer". It is literally a hate song.

Nothing changed in 30+ years
what? Halifax lost it's soul.
