The Herald Building- Halifax Nova Scotia
This building, the former home of the Chronicle Herald, is currently vacant. It was built after a 1912 fire destroyed the Dennis Building on Granville St.
The Coast says it will be torn down soon, though there are no concrete plans for what is to be built on the site.
A shame to see it go. I plan to go take more pictures before they knock her down.

Not particularly old or special, but this just caught my eye.
South End Diner – Halifax Nova Scotia
I ate lunch here today. The interior of the diner features a horseshoe shaped counter, with a grill in back, and padded bongo stools. Every inch of the walls are covered in commemorative and souvenir plates.
I had the cheeseburger, which came topped with grilled onions, relish and mustard, and an order of french fries. The burger had that wonderful lunch counter taste, juicy on the inside, a little crispy on the outside.

Olympic Confectionary – Halifax, Nova Scotia
My first lunch counter experience from my new home, and a great one at that. It’s located on Barrington St. , across the street from the train station. The two gentlemen in before us had been going to the Olympic every day for fifty years. It has been in the same family since the 1970s.
The breakfast was excellent, cooked on the small grill behind the counter, and was extremely inexpensive. The coffee was great, and was served in classic green and white diner mugs.
