Year around, but particularly during the windy wintry months of the years, Halifax folk prefer to meet along its sheltered "main street" , that portion of Spring Garden Road between The Public Gardens and the historical St Mary's Basilica / Old Burying Grounds district.
Yes , Haligonians (as Halifax residents are called) buy things at suburban malls , just like the rest of us.
But they much prefer to shop (and dine, stroll, dance, meet and gossip) on a street that retains much of the feel of an old fashioned small town main street and yet is located in the busy heart of a regional metropolis.
That main street is those few blocks of Spring Garden Road and the half dozen short streets that run perpendicular to it.
That the Public Gardens at its head and the Basilica and Old Burying Grounds at its feet are must sees for tourists makes visiting 'Spring Garden' a no-brainer.
