Brick, Mortar and Glass

I think what makes Halifax a charming smaller city
 is the fact that it has managed to keep some of its older buildings.

Some have been incorporated into and with newer structures

and it works quite well I think.

A combination of the old and the modern allows the city

 to stay in touch with its past and to keep looking ahead in to the future.

There are a couple of very active heritage groups here who strongly 

defend the preservation of older structures.

I think a good, balanced approach to urban development
can only be to the city's advantage and well being.
