mid 70's Spring Gd.Rd.
Boyhassheaged!
Spring Garden Road was sooo quiet on Saturday mornings especially. Does
anyone remember 'First Edition' bookstore on Sp. Gd.? Near the
'Gag'n'Spew. Gee that place was great for late nights. How about
Pepe's? I can't remember what was where Charter House is now...the
Doric was up a bit wasn't it near the Daily Grind? Anyone up for a trip
down memory lane?

spinach salad. I actually worked there while going to SMU. They had
lots of tv monitors in the office..supposedly to capture converstions
at various tables...never saw them on...How about that other place
owned by same
fellow...Zapatas? Great stuffed peppers. I remember in the old days of
smoking cigs pulling out what I thought was a pack of matches in the
very dark Zapatas club on a first date. What I pulled out was my birth
control pills by the rx tab. Great first impression. There was a place
above Pepes..
maybe even before it was called that...Captain's Cabin perhaps? I was
underage then and only went in once or twice. Thanks for the Pepe's

Want to go away back? From different eras.
Barber shop in the basement of the Lord Nelson, the
only one on SGR. Later the Golden Clipper across the
street.
The Sea Shell Fish & Chip Restaurant.
The Captain's Cabin.
The elegant Cameo Restraunt.
Empire Pastry.
The Sat afternoon that Mayor Kinley laid the corner
stone in the Halifax Memorial Library. It was the
city's memorial to the vets of WW 11 (And WW 1 Maybe?).
The name is still above the enterence but the name
"Memorial" has been dropped from the Halifax Regional
Library. "Lest We Forget" Well I guess the city has.
Hardware store on corner of SGR & Birmingham. I think
the owner's name was Tom but can't remember his last
name. Anyone?
Bus ternimal on Dresden Row.
Dr. Covert's house and office across from the LN.
Doric Restraunt.
Eddie Campbell's ESSO Station.
Dominion Store. (One of the biggest such stores in town).
The apartments next to NSTC.
More?

used to have great bands in there.

I forgot all about the Crescent yogurt but it was DElicious. Diana
Sweet's or Joe's as it was fondly referred to was the university

the Cameo...
that Wedgewood Blue carpet and the petit fours at tea! (I'm not that
much of whipper snipper!) And the Esso! It was where Shoppers is now I
think...rx's and gas...one expensive corner!...I still miss the
grocery store... in that little ally/parking lot...No recollection of
Kinley and the stone...or of the Sea Shell...
though as a child I did go to the 'Shell' chinese in Dartmouth a few
times after 25cent matinees...but Halifax is 'home'. I used to take
the bus downtown from Clayton Park when my parents fell into the suburb
trap of the late 60's...early 70's...
and between transfers at 'Simpsons' go into the perfume counter while
waiting for the # 1 Spring Gd and spray on the #5 Chanel...! No
recollection of the hardware store though - this is unfortunate as one
of my favorite places to go. I do recall the barbershop in the Lord
Nelson basement,,,just why I'm unsure. I remember sneaking into the LBR
...no...the part where men and women could go and getting
small 'ponies?' of draft for twenty cents. That was the last night in
fact they were selling 'quarts'. Though I've lived in this city on and
off for 50 years I've never been
to the Archives...is it worthwhile? Photo-wise.? That's what I'd really
love to see...some old photos...then the mind wakes up. Thanks so much
for sharing.
Boyhassheaged!
I cannot remember Astroff's though. Oldtrout I know you'll remember
Offmans furniture upstairs ..I think where Ryan Duffy's is now...How
about the Heidelberg (sp?) where Winchesters is...just off SP GD...they
had great cheesecake. (this is turning into a
memories of Halifax Food forum ! Yes, great bands at Zapata's...even if
it was very dark and had it's embarrassing moments. (see earlier post)

*** Yes. It's located on Robie & University now. You will have to fill
out a short form to get an access card for the archives, but it is worth
it. Be sure to have ID with you.
They have photos and newspaper items on microfilm and microfiche, plus
other materials. I use the archives for my research into defunct amusement
parks. In fact, my CEC website got granted non-profit status and I will be
able to put photos on it at no charge from the archives. So by the end of
October, I expect to have images of the amusement park on McNab's Island.
In particular, there will be a number of carousel photos from around World
War I.
For what I have so far, see:
http://www.CEC.chebucto.org/ClosPark/McNab.html
See the "Woolnough" and "Findlay" links at the end for the parks.

I liked it though, because the club lighting never diluted my stage
lighting like it did at the Gottingen Street "Misty Moon". I got so fed up
there, that one week I brought in black shields for the offending fixtures
and gaffed them on. Louie, the club manager, liked it so much that he

Just the fact that it doesn't sound right, should have been a clue.
Richard Bonner
I had a quick look in some of my grammar texts but could not find much
regarding this usage. However, it seems to follow the same manner as:
Jane got fired from her job.
Adam got promoted to Captain.
Little Sally got embarrassed easily.
Therefore, although other versions could be used such as "was granted"
and "has been granted", I don't see a problem with "got granted".
Note that the examples also work with other tenses of "got":
Jane will get fired from her job.
Adam is getting promoted to Captain.
Little Sally has gotten embarrassed before.
...CEC website will get granted...
"Got" simply puts these statements into the past.
Richard
Bob
that using "get" or "got" in place of the common auxiliary
from the verb "to be" is a poor grammatical choice. I will
be surprised if you find something that tells you that "get,
got" are acceptable auxiliaries in written English. Spoken
English is a different matter where grammar is much less
formal. Ain't is in the dictionary, but it isn't necessarily
a word that we use frequently, is it?
Words - they say so much.

*** Sheena would agree with that. (-:
In most cases, "got" is superfluous. Someone might say "I have got to
go", but "I have to go" works just as well. Now, if someone wants to add
emphasis, "got" can serve that purpose:
"I have *got* to go."
... although this works as well:
"I *must* go."

*** I have some examples somewhere of sentences that could be taken in
more than one way - even within the context of the surrounding statements.
People should write what they mean and mean what they write instead of
forcing the reader to decode their writings.
No where is this more important than in instruction manuals. Hands up:
how many here have been confused by written instructions because they
were not clear enough or because they could be taken in more than one
manner?

*** They worked in any language which useed the English alphabet. During
World War II, the Germans, Poles, Dutch, Italians, and
others used Enigma or similar machines. The Allies were able to eventually
decode most messages written on anything up to a four-wheel Enigma
machine. A six-wheel version was on the German horizon, and I believe some
were even made, but they never came into wide-spread usage because the war
ended.
The Japanese had their own version, and it too, was able to be decoded,
but I think it was because the Americans had been given or had found out
the key.
The British, on the other hand, had to work much of the German code
out by reverse-code methods. Eventually, they were able to construct their
own Enigma machine from having worked out the settings required to encode
the messages they had been receiving. This also came about from having
been given information and a prototype Enigma machine by the Poles on the
eve of the war, or shortly afterward.
That aside, I would love to own a four-wheel German Enigma. Mick Jagger
has one (a three-wheel model, I think) - I wonder if he'd sell it. (-:

I had an adverse reaction to alcohol too, firecat. I became something I
didn't like, and those who knew me didn't like what they saw either.
But now, after work or on the week-ends, a couple of puffs and I'm
stress free. Nice thing about marijuana... I sure smoked enough of it in my
life, but I can pass it up anytime. There never was a dependency like
tobacco evolve from my usage over the years, and I sure don't believe it's
going to rear its ugly head now :)
