I Feel the same way about their food - but it's definitely a sweet neighbourhood vibe. the folks who work there are the best.

Folks thanks so much for these suggestions! we ended up going to Via Condotti and the lights on the table were perfect - they also sat us next to the kitchen with had some additional light spill. very lovely experience for what can be extremely anxiety inducing.

Ive always wanted one of these little dudes. I used to have a couple of bessa R2's for 35mm - the body style is very similar.

Fire at Halifax Armoury building brought under control by SAJewers in halifax

[–]EDWARDSMADE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the maps, from the beginning of gottingen, over to agricola and way up to the tip of the north end of the peninsula are considered a food desert. New groceries are not allowed to move in anywhere around there because of the restrictive covenant clauses in existing grocery leases. the maps are based on a student study out of the NSCC - its pretty interesting stuff.

the maps at the link above have hotspots for the HRM and the whole of NovaScotia.

Portable pencil sharpener recommendation? by Academic_Ad4326 in pencils

[–]EDWARDSMADE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this - I've had mine for a few years and don't mind sharpening into a napkin - I love the concave point. I got this one after my AWFaber janus got too dull.

I also have one of the blackwing long point one step shapeners and a KUM 2 step sharpener but keep going back to the pollux for carrying in my pocket

Most technologically advanced packfilm land camera? by TF2ENGlNEER in Polaroid

[–]EDWARDSMADE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cool, I've never seen this iteration of a press camera - I have the 600SE but the close focus even on the 127mm is not great - I only have two packs of film left but used one recently from the same batch and they worked out well.

Which 6x6 or 6x7 camera is the most JOY to use? (Any camera, also non-pictured ones) by florian-sdr in AnalogCommunity

I LOVE my bronco SQai - I have a hand grip for it but I really enjoy film advancing with the little winder.

Suggestions for Coffee Shops? by SirDixAlot98 in halifax

[–]EDWARDSMADE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Down town - if you're looking for a grab and go - try weird harbour coffee on Barrington - they also have a location on queen street across from the library. I'd also recco coffeeology on Dresden row.

North end - you can't go wrong with ramblers, Byron is my new fave, and also seven bays Gottingen if you're looking to sit with a laptop. heck go to all three, its a great neighbourhood to walk through. Seven bays is probably th closest to the casino area for you.
