I agree. It kinda says, "Welcome to Metropolitan Halifax, home of a bridge... a SUSPENSION bridge, ooh, ahh!"

I think it says home of tack. It's the urban equivalent of the 'world's biggest blueberry'. Nothing says world class architectural design like a toy bridge model. How about adding a HO scale train set while we're at it? Or maybe little model airplanes hanging from the ceiling! YAH! They don't have THAT sh*t in Toronto!!! Booyah!!!

Maybe they could boost that giant fiddle from the Sydney cruise ship dock and stick it somewhere there... if they could find a space with a high enough ceiling.

Talk about cheesy...

I agree, the bridge is a joke.

I was gonna mention that fiddle actually. What a riot. You know it actually has speakers in it and pumps out music in the summer for the tourists? Hilarious.

sure, Halifax airport isn't great, but I have seen worse...Miami international airport for example....ewwww....and before Toronto built their new terminal, which was completed in 04' I think, the old terminal 1 and 2....not good..the domestic arrivals in Montreal resembles Halifax...the low ceilings, dull colors and mundane atmosphere....not filthy and dilapidated like Miami however

LAX isn't that great eithier. I was there last spring and it looks like it is straight out of the 1970s.

ya, your right it does...in fact the washrooms in Fiji International Airport are both cleaner and much more modern than LAX...and Fiji is a country of 1 mil people
