Doesn't sound great, but at least people aren't being taken out by construction fencing gates!

I'm glad this and The Post are being built, as maybe something in Dartmouth will finally help to overwhelm some of the visual ugliness that is Queen Square. That building took out an entire block and very much damaged a neighbourhood that was once a vibrant place to live (my Grandmother lived on Edward from just after the Halifax Explosion until she had to move in the 1970s to make way for the parking garage attached to that building - it broke her heart and she was never quite the same afterwards). That area of town was its own little community but only the most intuitive would probably realize that now. The addition of new residents should tip things back in a positive direction moving forward. Hopefully the units will be affordable to most.
I really have some hope that current and future developments in the area will turn out to be fairly nice buildings, and bring that area out of the doldrums it has been in since that ugly blockbusting box was built.
