We buy and sell used electronics and gadgets – and most likely – we will have a 32gb ipod touch or a Sony turntable at one point at our store – because things comes and goes pretty quickly here – well some. But it is also most likely not yours either – why? in [...]

A customer who just got back from the city with the spouse’s chinese food – told us about this skin specialist his kid was seeing for body acne and how expensive it was just to see the doctor. Not the cost of seeing the doctor but the trip up to the city and staying for [...]

So I just saw on the CJLS website that Mr Pais said no – to the $100K that the MLA requested for setting up the new RDA for this end of the town – a flat no – I heard. So what’s next for this town? I supposed the next time the town needs an [...]

Since we are a downtown business – we try to only support our downtown businesses too. If I needed a shoe – I would go to Runner’s Attic – now only if they didn’t have the thing we need then we would patronize some other stores – and even go online – like the addidas [...]

Although we were not directly affected by the loss of the ferry last year – we still feel lost and defeated with the news as soon as we got into the store today. Mr. Churchill announced on Facebook that there will be no ferry for 2011 – because no one had a sustainable plan nor [...]

I wish this government could make up it’s mind, set a sales tax rate and stick with it. The HST here used to be 15%. Then they got generous and dropped the GST portion by 1% so the HST was 14% for a little while. Then they dropped GST again so it [...]

So quick poll here, if you rent a video game or movie and then never return it, is it considered theft? Apparently not according to the RCMP, it’s something to do with civil contract laws and needs to be taken to small claims court. Now if you sell that thing you stole rented [...]

Sooo who out there is really regretting their vote now? This area needs some serious hemorrhoids relief after the pounding we’ve gotten from the NDP government! No ferry for 2010 so tons of jobs will go down the drain. All because they wouldn’t spend a lousy 3 million bucks in subsidies [...]

Yes, I said it. And I’ll say it again! Fuck you Dexter. I’m sure I’m not the only one who currently feels this way in regards to the current Premier of Nova Scotia. I had high hopes for the NDP government, who sailed into office on promises of accountability and transparency. [...]
