I agree with that. At its most active and lively, it was a really special and wonderful place. But it was usually only like that once or twice a week. The waterfront location was great, but it also meant it was at the margins of where people actually lived.
I know a lot of people years ago talked about how a more central location, like the Armoury, might have drawn more people from all over, and I can't help but agree. Not every major public building in Halifax has to be on the waterfront.
