It made me laugh, but I wondered where they got their info from and what other 'lies' they are telling people on their tours.   |
I think it is considered the tallest "office building" in Halifax, or so they said at the rappelling challenge last week. That being said, the Harbour Hopper tour script is full-of-crap and (supposedly toungue-in-cheek) inaccurate. It always bugged me because I think its lost on most of the tourists.
