The first rain bands from hurricane Earl are now cleaning out the gutters on Agricola Street, near West Street. Discarded furniture left out by departing tenants over the last week is now getting tossed around by the increasing winds.
This boxspring was the first to hit the roadway.
HALIFAX — Residents on John Street are organizing a street party for Saturday, June 12, that, according to the invitation, will celebrate “the street and the good city life.”

Noon-1:15 p.m. — Potluck lunch and live music
1-3 p.m. — Street games like hockey, hopscotch, hula hooping and soccer
3-7 p.m. — Dance party including zumba
