Farewell to our American Friend

Stacey - Apr 27, 2010

Well, it’s back home, to my mundane and non-celebrity like life in the land of limestone, lakes and bluegrass. I wanted to say good-bye to the ocean, so we walked along the board walk in downtown Halifax today, stopping in at Jennifer’s my favorite downtown shop to visit with Darlene, the owner. It was a wonderful visit full of great weather, hospitable people, scenic vistas, and of course, hidden gems. My thanks to Kevin, Kim, and Lucy Little my wonderful and long-suffering hosts in Nova Scotia. My thanks to Stacey Jones-Oxner of this site for making the contest possible and to all who made submissions and suggestions on things to see and places to go. I realize that many of you may want to hire me as a travel writer, bush guide, or “mature” male model. I’ll retain Stacey as my agent for any such offers. Thanks again to everyone for their kindness. I don’t mean this as a threat, but I do hope to visit again!

As anyone who's ever taken the Trans-Canada Highway in Nova Scotia knows, the Colchester area, and specifically Truro, is a strategic crossroad.

It's where traffic from Canada's mostly easterly regions moves west. It's the turnoff to Atlantic Canada's major city, Halifax. And it's where more and more businesses are using location as a major development advantage.

As Jo Ann Fewer, executive director of the Colchester Regional Development Agency (CoRDA) points out, not only is the area a half-hour from Halifax's international airport and about an hour from Moncton's, it also has its own regional airport in Debert. It's less than an hour from the Port of Halifax, Canada's third busiest, and its two major container facilities.
