The driver kept getting randon calls from someone, he kept asking us for our address even though he had it plugged into his map. He made a wrong turn and accused us of giving him wrong instructions, he asked for the house number and when we repeated it clearly three times, he told us to just describe the house features. Terrible experience. if I can avoid that driver, I would continue to gladly use Casino taxi.

We went down to catch the Pride Parade today. Wow what a parade, it was spectacular and there were…read morehundred of spectators lining the street to cheer on this wonderful event. Halifax was hopping today, after the Parade you could go to the Garrison Grounds where there were many vendors set up for you to sample their products. There were things there for kids, adults, youth, you name it, they had it covered. There was a stage set up with live music as well. It really was a great festival to attend. I hope you enjoy the pictures!! After this show, if you wanted you could go to catch the huge concert on the commons, The Black Eyed Peas!!! See you there! Halifax was rockin this weekend!!!

It seems that this upcoming event (July 18-25) is packing some serious heat, with over 140 floats, bands and other sites throughout the city dedicated to Pride times. Whether you're gay, lesbian, transgender, bi or straight, this is an event thats all about LOVE. It doesn't matter who, just love and be loved... and celebrate that. People of all kinds can come together and celebrate the freedom of lifestyle, and this is very much a positive statement for our city as a whole. The infamous parade is only the beginning. Plays, food and drink specials, sports games, live entertainment+djs, free cover, comedy nights, a boat cruise--- the list goes on and on! I'd suggest picking up an agenda (available at most local businesses/ grocery stores) and reading through the day-by-day schedule. There is a lot planned, so checking out the options seems to be a good strategy. I noticed that The Cliks are playing on July 24th... a band I discovered during my L Word days. How fun. I absolutely love the downtown energy buzzing around during Pride Week. Everyone is in good spirits, and its all about that infectious bout of free choice. The next two weeks are sure to be action packed, so get out, embrace, and have a gay ol' time!

It's an interesting premise: you call as you need a ride to the airport. They will pick you up and…read moredeliver you to the airport on the hour (i.e, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00) and only on the hour for a flat rate of 26$. The catch: you may be sharing the cab with someone else. I have used them quite a few times, and all was fairly positive for a small business. The man who takes your reservation (i.e., the receptionist) is a odd on the phone, which makes you feel a little uncomfortable as to whether they fully have your information for the reservation, BUT they do always show up to get you (albeit, usually a little late) so he's obviously remembering your reservation. My issue was with my last trip. It's put me on the fence as to whether I will use them again. I was supposed to be to the airport for 8:00, and was told that my pickup time would be 7:15. At 7:20 I called as the driver had not arrived. The receptionist told me that he was running late and that I gave him the wrong number so they could not reach me. I later found out that he had written down my number as 998-xxxx, rather than 999-xxxx (I highly doubt that I told him 998). He told me that the driver would be there in another 10 minutes. When 7:30 came and the driver was still not there, I called back and the receptionist told me he would contact the driver to see where he was. When I asked him to confirm my number with me, he was, again, one digit off (making an 8 a 3). The driver finally showed up at 7:45 and I was supposed to be at the airport at 8:00 (I live in the South end of Halifax). He ended up speeding to the airport and we arrived at 8:10-8:15. This was not a problem for me as my flight was 9:25, but if it were someone who was flying out earlier - that 15 minutes of lateness could have made them miss their flight. The kicker: when the driver was speeding his way to the airport he was falling asleep at the wheel. On the highway I noticed the car was jerking occasionally. I thought it was, perhaps, a windy day and coupled with the speed he was having trouble staying on the road. The jerkiness made me more alert, and when I started paying attention to the drivers actions I could see: his eyes getting squinty, jerk of car, wide eyes. It was when he drifted and hit the rumble strip on the side of the highway that I officially began hoping that I would actually arrive. Of all the time I've used this service I've only seen the one driver, so I am not sure if that's why he is overtired. Nonetheless, I think it was inappropriate to put another human life in the car of a man who was clearly falling asleep. I guess that's what a cheap ride (26$ rather than 60$) gets you to the airport. I'm not sure that I want to gamble with my life again for the sake of 34$.

The problem with Opera Nova Scotia is that it is very poorly managed. I sent several emails requesting information about the (at the time) upcoming production and never received a response.

In two months the 2011-12 production is supposed to be held at the Dalhousie Arts Centre (DAC) - but it is not listed on the DAC website yet, nor can tickets be purchased yet. DAC staff didn't know why that was the case. Sadly, with this lack of communication, it is not surprising that turnout and revenue have been very low. Yes, arts need good management too.
