dartmouth pride

Alexis & I recently visited the Halifax Crafter's Market, a market of local handmade goodies. I picked up a "City of Lakes" tank top made by Dartmouth Clothing Co. I grew up in Dartmouth, so I am quite fond of the "city of lakes". Within the past couple of years, downtown Dartmouth (where I lived growing up) has been revived with an influx of cool local businesses. This started off with Two If By Sea (TIBS), a cafe that produces delicious ginormous cookies & butter croissants! You can also get "I <3 Dartmouth" t-shirts there (I have one, natch). Recently, above TIBS, Canteen moved in. Canteen is a gourmet sandwich shop, with delicious eats. Just down the street, you can find Kept, a shop of local made goods (gifts, jewelry, home decor, etc.). Other Dartmouth favourites include, Oceanic Art, the tattoo parlour where I get all my tattoos done (by Jan), The Wooden Monkey, a restaurant specializing in delicious meals (vegan, vegetarian, and meat options) that uses locally sourced ingredients, Celtic Corner, the local pub, and the Alderney Farmer's Market. Lastly, I would just love to own this poster made by local artists Yo Rodeo.
