An Ode To Adams And Knickle
“They sell fresh scallops harvested off the Grand Banks here in Nova Scotia, brought in on ships every day and sold by Adams and Knickle by the pound. Fresh. They’re 10 dollars a pound today, they used to be cheaper. They’re so fresh and sweet. I eat them raw. The locals eat them raw.” – Doug Langley, Lunenburg, NS
The Turret Was A Queer Institution
“It was a community-owned space, and that meant that it was a space for all kinds of queer people.”- Robin Metcalf, Halifax, NS
Mama Camille’s Fish, Chips, and Generosity
“If you were duty on the ship, you always volunteered to be the driver so you’d go to Mama Camille’s and pick up the fish and chips and chowder ’cause you always got a free one.” – George Degraze, Dartmouth, NS
Learning To Cut Cheese At Hennigar’s
“I remember we sold cheese. Of course, cheddar cheese. I mean, what else do Nova Scotians eat? I mean, anything else is an affectation.” – Gail Smith, Chester, NS
Mr. Morrison’s Kindness
“He’d give credit to everybody. I’m sure he was out thousands of dollars.” – Rosemary Potters and Stella Cook, St. Peter’s, NS
