A big birthday party on John Street

HALIFAX — Eight neighbours celebrated a birthday on or close to Saturday, so birthday cake was the natural thing to take over the John Street street party this weekend. Afternoon festivities — including street hockey, live music and zumba dancing — also got a boost from the unexpected drive-by appearance of about 100 naked bicycle riders. Yep, it’s true. How could we make something like that up?
John Street residents got up and danced the zumba at their street party Saturday.
Bubby Adams bought his home on John Street 40 years ago. He did a fine business at the morning yard sale.
Birthday cake and folk music took care of the early afternoon.
Who needs Joel Quenneville? There were plenty of coaches on hand to help aspiring hockey players.

Crews demolish buildings at West and Agricola

Crews just finished tearing down the two-story structure that once housed the One World Cafe. A worker said on Wednesday that the lot, on the northwest corner of West and Agricola, will soon be filled in with crushed stone. The other address that was demolished contained an office space most recently housing an anti-poverty activist group.
Not much of interest was visible in the rubble except for the singed pages of a mystery novel.
Any insight as to what is in store for this space? Any stories about what was?
